So, about Celebrimbor...

[huinare]

I had another weird June challenge idea, thanks to a conversation with lignota, this one not nearly as doomy as the one I came up with last year. If anything, it is an attempt to counteract the doom which many of us have inflicted upon a particular character. Thus, I propose:

June, 2015: “We’re Sorry, Celebrimbor”

Can't promise anything, as I keep falling off the fandom wagon, but hey, sounds fun!

[huinare]

I'm sure even something short and sweet would be as a balm to Celebrimbor's maltreatment. ;)

[talullahred]

Poor baby. Something will come up, I'm sure. ;D

Hey, do you want me to post this at the Library of Moria comm? I know it's a lighthearted thing but we like posting these things, as long as the people behind them are happy with it.

... cups of tea...

As it happens I have been drawing Ost-in-Edhil this weekend, and a Second Age roleplaying campaign planned for the end of May, so I'm definitely on for this!

[huinare]

Eee that sounds like fun!

Excellent. =D

I really like the idea! My only worry is: what if I try and not-so-good things insist on happening to him anyway? (Not that I'd be inviting Annatar to the party!)

[huinare]

Oh dear, I'd not considered that (one might think I would, given my history of doing horrible things to characters including but by no means limited to Celebrimbor).

So maybe if it's a story arc that goes downhill for Celebrimbor, it could be broken into short chapters, and the chapter(s) where not-bad-stuff happens could be the Apology?

[hhimring]

Yes.
I suppose I was remembering my Narvi and Celebrimbor drabbles that somehow ended with Narvi's dying (of natural causes, rather than unexpectedly)--and nevertheless are also the most cheerful Celebrimbor story I've written so far...

[huinare]

I'm not sure why I'm so blithely convinced I can write something happy about Celebrimbor, because, well, 1. It's me, and 2. It's Celebrimbor.
I think in my mind I'm conceiving of it sort of like writing a gift fic for him or something.

I'm game, if my muse ever decides to take up residence again. At the least I can design something for him to make.

Designing something would be awesome, too! I don't see this as limited to writing, and it might be more fun if it weren't.

[huinare]

Great! And yeah, I don't always Finish All The Stuff myself, it happens.
