Dain II Ironfoot, on a date: So, what do you think of Thorin Oakenshield?
date: Eh, never liked him much, he’s an asshole, way too broody.
Dain II Ironfoot, shoving breadsticks into his ironfoot: I have to go right now immediately.

About-My-Fic meme

Tagged by the wonderful and incredibly talented elenothar! Thank you! ❤

1. Your favourite fic you’ve written:

Uhhhh, tricky one to answer… well, I am hugely proud of the work I have put into Sansukh. It’s easily (by a couple HUNDRED THOUSAND WORDS) the hugest project I have ever taken on, the research never ends, Tolkien’s style is so difficult to simultaneously emulate and tone down, the themes and characters are so dear and alive to me. I’m getting closer to my planned happy-ever-after ending all the time 🙂

But I have to confess that my favorite is Yours Faithfully, closely followed by Irreconcilable Differences. I loved writing them both.

2. Your least favorite fic you’ve written: 

Hmm. Probably It Takes a Village – not because of the fic, because of the fandom. Glad I got out when I did.

3. Your most popular fic:

Sansukh, no question! (I thought it would be ITAV forever… then Irreconcilable Differences did so well, I thought it would be the most popular… but Sansukh has eclipsed them both! I am still in a constant state of grateful awe.)

4. The fic you wish more people would read:

Yours Faithfully and Twelve Months and Fifty Years – heck, all of the Appendices, really. 

And also… possibly From One Age to Another. I am fond of my first Gigolas fic 🙂

5. The fic you most enjoyed writing:

IDK, this is a tricky question… some fics have just rolled out, easy as pie, with barely a pause (

Yours Faithfully, They Know, So Cloaked). During others I have gotten stuck at times (Sansukh, Irreconcilable Differences, Red Against White) but… I enjoyed overcoming it, in a way?

6. Your funniest fic:

Oh god, funny. Um. Irreconcilable Differences? Ruby Red Wine? Snowmelt? or Little Wild One? IDK, I am not exactly known for humour! I do sprinkle jokes throughout everything I write, however – even works that are more sombre in nature. 

8. The fic you’d like to be remembered for: 

*squints* IDK… probably it will be Sansukh, but I don’t ever intend to stop writing fic. 

9. The thing(s) your fic contributed to fandom headcanon: 

LOL, the Dead Dwarf Peanut Gallery? Eh. Probably the Halls of Mahal, or maybe dark-names. I have a hell of a lot of headcanons, I spose. 😀

10. First fic you wrote/published: 

A terrible TERRIBLE self-insertion fic when I was 17. Read it again when I was 25 or so, laughed myself silly, and promptly deleted the monstrosity. 

11. Latest fic you wrote/published: 

Chapter 39 of Sansukh… if this refers to completed work, though: 

Endurance

12. What are you working on now? 

Sansukh Chapter 40! The behemoth must be fed!

Things I am Currently Obsessed With

Tagged by: poplitealqueen and flamesburnonthemountainside! ELLO MY LOVES

One Song: I showed Mr Dets the glory that is Diggy Diggy Hole. He may never forgive me.

Two Movies: Not really obsessed with any films atm, tbh? Apart from the obvious (LOTR and Hobbit, always and forever). Though I really want to see Mad Max: Fury Road. 

Three Shows: Meeeeeeeh, television. 

Four People: Do fictional people count? Gimli, Thorin, Bilbo, Dain 🙂

Five Foods: Coffee, cake, beer, potatoes, pie.

QUESTIONS

1. First literary or television/movie crush as early as you can remember.

Ahhh, idk? I can name people I admired. But not really ‘crushes’ – I didn’t ever really crush on anyone. 

2. Are you the shopper, or the tag along?

SOOOOOO MUCH A TAG ALONG. i hate shopping. My mum loves it though: she’s generous as heck and always wants to buy me something nice to wear, but I just hate the whole process. Bleh. 

3. Favorite time of day/night and why?

Evening, usually – bc baby is asleep and I have a couple of hours that are mine, mine, MINE 😀

4. First pet, if you don’t have a pet yet, what would you like as a dream pet?

An English Springer Spaniel. He was a sweetie of epic proportions. The only dog I have ever had. It was always cats after that, bc he was a hard act to follow. Not that my cats were a second choice either: they were and are my favourite furry friends.

5. Favorite summer activity?

Hiding from the heat and humidity of a Queensland Christmas. 

6. Quick! You’ve just been nominated to best person of the year award. Who do you thank?

The person who made the epic typo that led to me standing here tonight. 

7. When someone steals the last cinnamon roll in the pan what do you do?

It was too pure for this world – it has gone on to a better place.

8. Do you like you first name? Why/why not?

I like my nickname – it’s a shortened version of my full name. My full name is rather elegant and sophisticated-sounding… something which I cannot possibly live up to!!

9. Favorite memory involving food?

My Nan used to bake a whole tupperware container FULL of fairy cakes, using her own old CWAA recipe book, every time we went to her house to visit. They were delicious. She also used to make apple turnovers for our dessert, and my Pop would make us eggs and soldiers for breakfast.

Alternatively, my sister and I making pikelets every Sunday morning for years… and making a thorough mess of ourselves, the kitchen, the floor, the cat, the everything 🙂

10. Favorite pokemon?

I missed that boat, sad to say. It all looks very mysterious and complicated.

11. Do you collect anything, is so what?

I’ve tried collecting in the past, and it doesn’t suit me much. Tried stamps, coins, etc. Nope, not for me. I do have a lot of old jewellery now (both cheap and tacky, ancient and valuable, costume jewellery… gosh, lots of it)… though I’d much rather have the people who wore it instead. 

HAEWYN I DID THE THINNNNNGGGGGG. I am such a lazy sod when it comes to memes I stg, I am not gonna make up new questions bc I want to go buy liquorice bullets now 😉
