Re: Sneak Peak 2 – Loving the letter fomat! Poor Leggy. I can feel the anxiety radiating off that letter. All those false starts and cautious wording. (Also Poor Laindawar – all those short jokes XD) Gimli’s letter is absolutely everything and makes me so incredibly happy.

HELLO THERE HOOPY FROOD, HOW YOU BEEN *hugs*

yeah, Legolas is a lot more cautious than Gimli. Like, a lot. A LOT. It’s not that he’s more afraid? He’s doing this, after all, he’s putting pen to paper and writing it down, which is a very brave thing to do. But he has over 2000 years of family history with these people, and he is a prince, he has a high station to uphold… and he knows what his father has lost. nnngh idk, I wanted to find the young Legolas in that letter, the child we see in Midwinter. Like all his years and layers strip away. These are people he’s always looked up to, and he is

almost more

frightened of disappointment than he is of disapproval. 

Gimli has plenty of trepidation too – but he’s very much of the ‘RIP THE BAND-AID OFF IN ONE GO, FAST AS POSSIBLE’ school of thought, lmao!!! “here’s the situation, I know you’re gonna hate it, someone stop Bofur laughing, do it for me please.” End of story. 

he’ll chew it endlessly in his own mind, of course. But as he said before, what can be more scary than facing the entire horde of Mordor without a hope of victory? he’s totally riding on wings of HOLY SHIT WE WON, SOMEONE BUY ME A LOTTERY TICKET, audacious little thing!

HAHAHAHAHAHA LAINDAWAR THE GRUMPY TERRIER ELF AND HIS TEASING TALL YOUNGER BROS welp I’m definitely shorter than him, so he’d be able to look down his long aristocratic nose at me as well 🙂

Hey everyone,

So to those who don’t know me, the name I go by on the interwebs is DragonMad (and here’s me pulling a face with a koala).

I’m very pleased to introduce myself as Frodo for the Sansukh Podfic. I hope I can do the character justice! When I’m not doing the Frodo voice, this is what I sound like normally.

In a short while I’ll join the karaoke tag so you can hear my singing voice. (intimidating much!)

If you’re from the days of yore and not at all interested in Sansukh, podfic or otherwise (what the hell is wrong with you?!) feel free to blacklist “Sansukh podfic”, “sansukh cast” and just “Sansukh”. I’ll try to be mindful and tag everything but may slip up now and then! 

Thanks all!

ETA: arrrgh! There’s a glitch right smack bang in the middle. *sigh* It’ll eventually come back in and there’s nothing major missing so we’ll just go with it I guess.

Mister Frodo! (FELLOW STRAYAN!)
