So god this is embarrassing. I made up a little ditty for ‘I sit beside the fire and think’ from chapter 10 of Sansukh and I’ve been humming it all day so I decided to record it. I will probably delete this out of embarrassment at some point so listen while you can. (The things I find myself doing for determamfidd’s creation)

I was always fond of this song. This is the version sung by the Poxy Boggards – there’s quite a few out there! Lyrics tend to vary, since the song has undergone permutations since it first showed up in the 19th C. Lyrics can be found here.
While Sansukh itself is truly amazing, the creativity it inspires in other people is incredible! People are not only making fanart and fanfics, but music and voice acting and even recipes! I really hope you’re proud that you’ve been able to inspire so many people!
Thank you, Nonnie!
Oh, I am CONSTANTLY pinching myself. Sometimes it really doesn’t seem real. I am so grateful. SO grateful. And so amazingly, overwhelmingly, heartstoppingly humbled. These incredibly dedicated, artistic and talented people have just. done this. Because they were excited, because they wanted to give their personal time and energy. Because they liked my fic.
I have met so many wonderful people. I have learned so much.
Thank you, to each and every one of you. I can never express how much it means to me.
(I showed Mr Dets the Mighty Mighty Sansukh Masterpost the other night, and in his own words: “holy fuck.” I am beginning to think I may need to split it up into categories!)

I was messing around with my old lap harp and ended up playing the Iron Hills Soldier Song from determamfidd‘s story Sansûkh! It was really fun to play and a pretty good workout for the fingers.
I hope you enjoy!
brb crying my face off.
thorin totally played this. He totally did.
Nota you are a star beyond compare.

I received my brand new shiny mic this week! Since I cannot post the lines I have been practicing for a few days I give you what I have been wanting to sing for a long time – The Iron Hills song.
Many of the cast – and others! – have sung this before of course. And for a very good reason, I think! I simply wanted to add my own voice to the choir.
All the credit for this song goes to amazing determamfidd and notanightlight, I claim nothing but my own voice. And an intense appreciation for Dáin Ironfoot, a mighty king and an even greater dwarf! Thank you Dets for this marvelous song!
OH LOVELY. You have great intonation!
Where did you find all of the song in Sansûkh? Are they written in Lord of the Rings or in another of Tolkien’s books? Or did you write any yourself? Is there any music you listen to while you write to help you get into the LotR mood/mindset? (I haven’t read the books and I’m really interested in the music in this fic ^^ Sorry if it’s an odd question)
Not an odd question at all, Nonnie! I’m very flattered and glad that you’re interested 🙂
Okay, well, some of the songs and poems I have used are Tolkien’s words. Here are the ones I have used (or referred to) that are from canon:
Lay of Nimrodel
The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late
Bilbo’s Bath Song
The Song of Durin (Gimli’s chant in Khazad-Dum)
The Lay of Luthien and Beren
The Riddle of Strider
I also used ‘I Sit Beside The Fire And Think’, but made up my own two final stanzas.
I also wrote a whole slew of new ones. The songs I created (GULP) are
Now and Forever I’ll Be Marching Home (the song sung as the Dwarves leave Ered Luin)
Bijebruk! (Gimli’s mining ditty, also doubles as a drinking song)
The Dwarven Mourning chant (rather like a plainsong, very hymnal)
The Song of Beginnings
The Iron Hills For Me
No, I don’t actually listen to music as I write. I tend to want to concentrate on the music, instead of writing! I find it really distracting. My head is a noisy enough place already 🙂
Some absolutely glorious people ( notanightlight , muchymozzarella, flamesburnonthemountainside) have composed and recorded songs from Sansukh. They are completely gobsmackingly beautiful. Check it out on the utterly bogglingly huge Sansukh Masterpost.
(It also has the link for my own version of the Iron Hills For Me, oh gawdelpme hahaha)
so Kili anf Fili both play the fiddle right. how agressive do you think their playing gets? like I was watching Nuttin’ but Stringz on youtube and they get so into it and completely shred their bowstrings and I think Kili and Fili would play like that (probs not the style of music tho, something more dwarvish) and they keep breaking the strings or their bows and Dis getting annoyed cause “You just replaced the strings last week Kili what do you mean its broken???”
They would be surreptitiously cutting the tails of every pony in order to re-hair their bows, hell yes. Epic fiddle battles. and if the victory is in doubt, as a last resort the fiddle can also be used as a bludgeon
Also, Balin and Dwalin are meant to play the viol?
Dwarf music headcanon: Dwarves are masters of the pick-up band. Get three or more dwarves together for more than an hour, and there is a good chance of music happening.
YES YES YESSSSSS.

A slightly more fleshed out version of “all about dat beard.” A Meghan Trainor (kindly intented!) Dwarven parody.
Lyrics:
Because I’m all about that beard, no stubble…
Yeah it’s pretty clear, I got that beard growth
and I can braid, bead it,like I’m supposed to do
‘Cause I got that boom boom that all the elves chase
All the right hair in all the right places
I see them elven kings working that Photoshop
We know that shit ain’t real
Come on now, make it stop
If you got dwarven beauty just raise ‘em up
‘Cause every inch of you is perfect
From the helm down from the top
Yeah, my momma she told me don’t worry about your height
She says, folks they like a little more beardy to hold at night
You know I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone elven doll,
So, if that’s what’s you’re into
Then go ahead and move along
