okay. same anon as before with the ch 19 stuff and. okay. so. I forgot how funny everyone-but-thorin figuring out gigolas was? I don’t know why I forgot that bc that was one of my favorite parts. and this is actually making my month (which has been by turns not-awful and completely-shitty, on top of several awful-beyond-belief months of med switching hell) significantly better.

*sniggers* still one of the most-fun-things-to-write ever. Thorin being so, SO clueless. Heh :)))

*hugs* hope things settle for you, both with the meds and the things being shitty and not in turn 😦

replied to your post “You must get this a lot but I just wanted to say thank you SO much for…”

Do the download options ao3 has not work for ereaders? I use an app on my phone and download works to read that way regularly.

They sure do work! However, some folks find the text in the downloads very small to read. Someone also asked if I could make print-only versions of the fic, so that the images wouldn’t skew the text size even further. 

I’ve done up to chapter 39 as downloadable text-only PDFs 🙂

I’m thinking now that when it is all finished, perhaps I should make a large-print version, or a different-font version, for folks who would find that necessary. 

You must get this a lot but I just wanted to say thank you SO much for making Lord of The Rings accessible for me. Being as ADD as I am Tolkien’s work has always been just too dense to get through. Thank you so much!

Ahhh, my absolute joy and pleasure! It’s truly my honour. 

(Speaking of accessibility, I should get to PDFing the last few chapters and getting them up onto Drive for those who can only use e-readers, and need better font options than AO3 provides. I gotta get onto that!!

I’ve been thinking of making a print-only version in a different font, also – one that is easier for those with visual processing or reading difficulties! I should investigate.)

So. I’m rereading Sansukh, because it’s been a while since I read the whole thing through. and. chapter 19. I just. ” “You didn’t ask to be sick, Thorin. He didn’t ask to be sick either. Nobody asks to be sick. It wasn’t your fault.” I just. I think I really needed that this month. so, thanks.

*hugs very tight* Nobody asks to be sick. You didn’t ask for this, it happened TO you.

(I have a lot of feelings about that.)

I’m glad it helped, Nonnie. I’m so sorry you’re having a shit month. I hope that tranquility comes back soon, and that you can find your equilibrium again. I know that I, and many MANY others here, are all behind you, 110%. You’re not alone, you’re not at fault, and you are very very cared-for. Be kind to yourself, and stay safe.

@determamfidd I’m making a dwarf costume to put up in my shop, but I’m sizing it to my friend so we can do a photoshoot first – does this design strike you as any particular (hopefully black haired) sansukh character? Made for boobs but can be nb etc 🙂

Could be Kara, with black hair! Or perhaps Beri, Jeri’s mum 🙂

(I LOVE THAT DESIGN, ALSO – damn, you are a genius with the designering!!!)

Awe thank you XD it occurs to me that my model has a red wig as well – so I guess firebeards can also be considered?

OMG THEN SHE COULD BE DISITH

IT’S DONE WE’RE DOING IT, DISITH IT IS

*JOYOUS YODELLING*
