The Thousand Fics on AO3 Gigolas Challenge | Archive of Our Own

gimleafanatic:

A few days ago I wistfully posted wishing for 1000 searchable Gigolas works on AO3.  At least 60 of you have agreed in the notes, so I’m putting my money where my mouth is with the Thousand Fics on AO3 Gigolas Challenge.

We only need 101 works to reach a thousand as of this posting.  WE CAN DO IT!  Come sign up and write a prompt, claim a prompt to write or draw…. whatever you like.  Any genre or type of artwork is allowed and will count as long as Gimli Son of Gloin/Legolas Greenleaf is one of the main featured pairings in the work and is listed as a searchable relationship tag.  

If there isn’t a prompt you like– write your own and complete it!  You might find someone else is inspired by it and will write something based on the prompt for you, as well.  What could be better?

Assuming this actually gets some prompts, I am very likely to respond to the ones I love best…. come on, let’s play!  🙂

PLEASE REBLOG to attract more participants.  🙂

Hi Dets, archery-anon here. So, Leggy kept missing cause he was distracted by… stuff? *ponders Helm’s Deep visuals* *winces* Poor Leggy, he’s never gonna live that down. Imagine, they’re at Erebor, the shouting’s over, Gimli speaks of their travels, mentions the contest – and Bomfris goes: “I shot more!”, Laindawar is aghast: “What were you thinking, brother!” and Thrandy pinches his nose: “Don’t answer that, son” while somewhere, far away, King Elessar feels this odd shiver… Accepted. ROFL

Bomfris would be flabbergasted. She lost to Laerophen in their little contest, after all. “Oi, didn’t you say your brother was better than you at archery?”

Laerophen would be staring at Legolas in puzzlement. “He is. I mean. Was?”

“He’s a finer shot even than I,” Laindawar would say, slowly. “Has the south sapped your skills, honeg nin?”

“He’s a bonny fighter!” Gimli would protest, ready to defend Legolas against anyone and anything. Naturally, it’s not a helpful thing to say. Legolas avoids looking at his brothers, tips his head away, mumbles something incomprehensible about Uruk-Hai and knife-work and explosives.

Thranduil would probably take one glance between the mortified, tongue-tied Legolas and the totally oblivious confused vaguely-defensive Gimli. Realisation dawns. It is followed by a GIANT SIGH OF RESIGNATION. 

Meanwhile Gloin is prouder than punch. MY LAD BEAT THE ELF AT ORC-KILLING HELL YAH OF FUCKING COURSE HE DID DWARVES RULE ELVES DROOL *high fives Dwalin*

Since Hobbit Big Bang is posting at last, I can finally reveal to all of you one of the few podfics I managed to complete during the last month of dissertation hell: a podfic of @determamfidd‘s beautiful Gigolas story From One Age to Another, which describes Gloin and Thranduil reacting to the discovery of their sons’ relationship. This podfic is made much more awesome than it would be otherwise by @hobbitystmarymorstan’s amazing cover art (sorry, tumblr is not letting me tag you properly here for some reason). Happy Hobbit Big Bang, folks!

*HITS HIGH C IN DELIGHT*

A thing I can post now! 🙂

I drew a cover for Dragongirl’s podfic of Determamfidd’s “From One Age to Another.”

I was really taken by the vulnerability of Legolas’ situation, so, a pair of sleeping partners, miles apart.

And here is the amazing cover art in question, folks! Seriously, I am blown away by how awesome this is.

*clutches heart* OH HHHH MYYY GODDDDD
