Yes, still alive. Yes, I still have tons of unfinished documents on my harddrive, and no, I never intend to stop writing Tolkien, I just go on really long breaks. I am updating and re-editing everything in the verse. These new versions are posted at river_home. I will continue posting any new fic on this journal, but eventually everything will be on that comm as it is easier for me to not keep logging out of my main journal, rivlee.

I also have tenative plans for a whole new fic verse/series set in Gondolin with a whole different history/cast of characters, etc. Those stories will be posted at river_home so as not to confuse them with the verse here.

I hope anyone and everyone, if you're sitll out there, is doing well!

*taps mic* Is anyone out there?

Just letting everyone know that I have, finally, started writing again. Much like the very long break between chapters in "Lullaby" I just had to take a huge step away for a bit. I'm still working on improving my writing, re-hauling the fic, and maybe moving some things over to AO3. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm also debating on seeding this journal out and going to a fic-comm, which will make it easier for me to post and not have to constantly log-out/log-in with my personal lj name. Would people be cool with that, those of you still reading?

And finally, speaking of fic, is there anything, anyone wants to desperately read in the coming weeks? I am in the middle of a move, but I need something to take my mind off all the stress in live, and fic seems to be doing it? Just drop a line and let me know.

*hugs to all*

Wee tiny ficlet (~550 words) about a year ending in Lindon, the Second Age

( The Parting Glass )

For all new readers to this long and winding and yes, still in-progress arc, I say welcome! Also, I direct you to a story written in 2007 and cleaned up and re-posted this year:

Under The Hunter's Moon. It was my harvest-themed story for this world, and still one of my favorites for this arc.

There is another harvest-themed story coming this week. I meant it to be posted for the Autumunal, and then Halloween, and now, since many of the traditions are set-in Bonfire Night practices, Nov. 5th. Who knows, it might get up before the night's end. Strange things happen on Halloween.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween, doing whatever makes you happy and scares you only in the good way. Sometimes that heart-rushing moment of fear can lead to some very good things. ;)

I just want to thank everyone who has every read, commented, dropped an e-mail, linked or enjoyed these stories. They are full of original characters and I know that can be difficult for people to embrace in fanfic, but I have recieved so many nice words from people who connect with these stories, and their characters, and while it is taking me years to finish it, every single time I see that someone is still reading it and reading it for the first time, it brings this huge smile to my face. And also lets me know I am not insane for wanting to finish it one day.

Here's to hoping moer stories coming with the passing of the year. Watch out for all those ghosts and goblins tonight. You never quite know who is hiding behind that mask.

So, since Faintest is turning out to be four long parts as opposed to one really long part, it's going to take longer to post. So, to tide over anyone who is still reading out there, have some fic bits from future stories. Beware, spoilers ahead.
