Did you know you’ve already out written the original trilogy word count? All three LOTR books: 455,125 words. You: 518,318. You’ll most likely reach The LOTR trilogy plus the Hobbit at 550,147 words with the last four chapters, but I say aim high, out do that and the Silmarillion and write more than 680,262 words! We’re not ready to lose you and your lovely world yet!

…holy shit I beat it?? really???

cripes, I am a wordy blabbery piece of work. Brevity, I do not know thee. 

Hmm. Considering that my chapters atm are averaging around 13-16K (let’s call it 16K to be on the safe side), then that means I probably have 64K left, at the most. 

A lot can happen in 64K 😉

there’s also currently 98K in the Appendices WELP

Australia.

Well. There’s another thing I’ll never unsee.

are you telling me that Australia is cat-dog?

@determamfidd, @morvidra, @dragonmad

Actually this makes more sense than what I was taught in primary school, which was that Australia is shaped like the head of a Scottie dog (Scottish Terrier) and Tasmania (the big island down the bottom) was its dog tag. I blame this lesson for my continued inability to draw maps.

O.O

Cannot unsee.

I stumbled across this post the other day, and even though it’s really neat, I noticed a couple errors in the math and the image is way too small to read. So I completely remade it because I’m a giant nerd (and the OP’s blog has been deleted so I have no way of getting in touch with them). I mean, normally I wouldn’t care enough to do something like this, but bloodlines are very important in Tolkienverse which makes me, in turn, very interested in the exact breakdowns.

Also because—ever since I read Silm—I’ve wanted to know exactly how ‘elven’ Elrond actually is because I knew for sure it wasn’t literally half. It turns out Elrond is 56.25% elf, 37.5% human, and 6.25% maiar. The more you know.
