Wow. I didn’t accomplish anything on this week off. Wanna know why?
‘Cause I started a 500000+ word fanfiction on Wednesday and I accidentally the whole thing by this morning. That’s like reading a full length novel a day!
Gods bless the epic that is Sansûkh. @determamfidd is my new hero for this spectacular epic!
Awwwwww!!! thank you, I am so pleased you’re enjoying it!
I had heard/read somewhere that the Prof wished for people to build on his foundation and continue to grow his universe, but omg I hadn’t actually… connected it… to fanfiction…
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH! that means the world to me, I am absolutely thrilled you like it!
In Western Lands (Sam’s Song).
This is the final
song planned for Sansûkh, composed and performed by me for SSAA choir.It will be linked
in the fic on AO3 RIGHT after I write the words, ‘The End’ in Chapter 50.The poem is from Return
of the King, and is sung by Sam Gamgee. It
has been suggested that it was originally penned by a certain Mr. Bilbo Baggins.This composition is
lovingly dedicated to my dear friend, @poplitealqueen. Love ya, mate.Sheet music for download is here. Lyrics reproduced

THIS SONG WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED AT 2 AM !!!!!!!!! AHHH ITS SO BEAUTIFUL AND YOUR VOICE IS AS WELL
jas,hdgfkjhagsa thank you, sweetness! urgh, you know me and my terrible timing, I never seem to find that sweet spot between timezones, guh.
(I am SUPER SUPER SHAKINGLY NERVOUS, tbh – this is the most complicated harmony I’ve ever written, it’s tone-crunch-in-every-bar sort of stuff, and so I am all *bites nails* your very kind words have really made me SO relieved!! Thank you SO much!)

Do you ever read a fanfic that is just so good it just sticks with you into days or even weeks after you’ve read it. Like you could be sitting in class or alone in your room and suddenly you’re just like, wow, that was a really good fanfic. Like it was really good.
@determamfidd me every day. I was just thinking about Sansûkh the other day after marathonning all the Tolkien movies and decided to reread it… THEN YOU UPDATE IT AGAIN AND I DIE
*flails* AHHH THANK
For @determamfidd
Because I am that person who has a bunch of ideas. Under a cut for recent chapter spoilers, potential future ideas and stuff. Also, is any of this actually canon? No. It’s just me talking in a corner. Read at your own risk.
omg K…!!! THESE ARE ADORBS.
I would read the heck out of a “Shit Gimizh Has Put Me Through, by ‘Wee’ Thorin Dwalinul” memoir, i tells you what.

In western lands
beneath the Sun
the flowers may rise in Spring,
the trees may bud, the waters run,
the merry finches sing.
Or there maybe ‘tis cloudless night
and swaying beeches bear
the Elven-stars as jewels white
amid their branching hair.
Though here at
journey’s end I lie
buried in darkness deep,
beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.
Or ‘waith bain nura Anor
A panlû elin cuinar
Ú-pedithon ‘i-aur gwann’
Egor nai îl ‘namarië’.
(the Elvish stanza is a translation of the last four lines of the poem).
The Line of Durin only mentions Kings because Tolkien made it that way. He also made it so that the Dwarves apparently don’t record the names of the ladies. I expect he probably did think that male primogeniture was the way to go as well.
I dislike this intensely. So I’m changing it. Because fanfiction. So yes, in Sansukh,
Dísith
is firstborn, so she’s first in line. Durin is not.
(before someone points out
Dís-the-elder, in Sansukh she abdicated her place in the succession in order to marry Vili – as a lowborn nobody of a miner, he really was at the bottom of the heap. It’s mentioned several times in the fic. That’s why she didn’t become Queen. Also, she bloody didn’t want it after what it had done to her family.)
I JUST READ THE CHAPTER 46 OF SANSUKH AND OH GOD
oh god oh god oh god oh god have mercy
I’m not okay I will never be okay again and at the same time I have never been this okay in my life
I’m shaking like a leaf in the wind I’m so full of adrenaline oh god I should have been asleep an hour ago but I doubt I will ever get any sleep now I’M SO EMOTIONAL I CAN’T LIVE LIKE THIS
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN FOR AGES AND NOW IT HAPPENED AND I’M BROKEN
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AHHHHH
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
