Dets, is there a list of positions not taken? I’m not sure what’s available so I can’t audition even though I want to. :(

Oooooooo-kay. I’ve gone through the dramatis personae (which can be found here), and snaffled a list of characters that I am 98% sure have not been cast and are still up for audition. Some may be too small for an audition, and therefore will be cast from existing auditionees who read for other roles. I am guessing? fuckthisimgoingtoerebor​, heuristicdevice​, is that right?

(a disclaimer: I am not a mod, nor involved on the production or casting level at all. So I am a flabbergasted and astonished bystander to all of this! If you have production or casting questions they should be directed to sansukhpodfic​).

ALSO ALSO: check the character slides here for the list of characters that are up for auditions in this (2nd) round!

Hey look, this one’s actually about Kili

liketotessecret:

Go figure. It’s also about Dis, though.

More depressing Sansukh poetry, coming your way!

(again, too short to merit a read more)

The stone was small in his hand

Dark and smooth and cold like night

The runes etched in protection
and love

A promise he could not keep

An oath he could not say

So I’ll try my best

I’ll protect them both

But never I promise
you,

Mother,

I’ll come back to you

Which was really

All she wanted him to say.

SANSUKH AUDITIONS

flamesburnonthemountainside:

Okay so for anyone who hasn’t seen the second round of Sansukh auditions have gone live tonight!

If anyone wants any audition advice from Dain Ironfoot (me :P) then feel free to message me whenever!

To anyone unsure or hesitant about auditioning I was really nervous and thought there was no point because why would I get cast out of all these other fantastic people they have auditioning and I know now that this is gonna be one of my best decisions ever! Everyone is sooooo nice and I’m making friends from all over the world, and they’re all just bonuses to getting to voice Dain in this amazing fic by determamfidd.

I’m so looking forward to meeting all the new people!

I’ll second that – if anyone would like to talk to me about the characters, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line! I don’t respond very fast (time zones hahaha + baby) but I DO respond!

balinisballin:

Jerusalem of Gold is a heartwrenching ballad by Naomi Shemer, written about the exile of the Jews from the city, especially relevant to the songwriter and those she knew after the ethnic cleansing of Jews from most of the city environs by the Jordanians in 1948. It encompasses the longing for the city over the past ages into the modern day. After the 6-Day-War, she added another verse to celebrate the city’s re-unification.

I only sung the first two verses and the chorus because I am getting tired and this mic is crappy. Lyrics here. Article about it here.

This song is very near and dear to my heart, and to say it invokes a lot of Diasporic Angst would be putting it mildly, heh.
