Hello, mae govannen, elen síla lumenn' omentielvo.

You've found your way to the LJ of Elleth, proud Tolkien nut. Private content is non-public, fannish things vary, but my profile page will give you an idea of what to find here, and this journal's friending policy is simple: if you think it sounds interesting, add me, and I'll gladly add you back ( Read more... )

... I can finally post a list of the gift fics I received! It's been another season to prove how talented this fandom is, because every single one of these stories is spectacularly beautiful and heartfelt, and I want every single one of them to be showered in love, appreciation and reviews. Even if you don't usually read femslash - please give them ( Read more... )

*gasp!* An entry that isn't a dear-author letter for some fic exchange or other!

The reason those have been pretty much nonexistent for quite a while is that my life is Boring with a capital b and italics, tumblr is a horrific distraction, and the idiotic feud with my aunt and her smoking habits (which tend to end up directly in my room whenever I ( Read more... )

... is a funny term to a German speaker, because (at least as far as my familiarity with English goes) it implies exactly the opposite of the German term (Frühjahrsmüdigkeit, literally Spring Tiredness or Spring Fatigue), and it's the latter that seems to be hitting me currently. I can't stop yawning and it's impossible to drink enough tea to ( Read more... )

It's been almost two weeks already? Wow.

In your own space, talk about setting yourself a fannish goal. Big or small, it doesn't matter. Some great examples include: complete a bingo, sign-up for a Big Bang, write that fic you've been thinking about for years, podfic that story that you love, make a fanmix for your fandom, post that bit of meta ( Read more... )

Occasionally tumblr does a useful thing in introducing something that is actually not quite as much of a waste of time as pretty pictures and all the common nonsense are.

Today it's a thing called realtimeboard, essentially an online-based whiteboard that offers all sorts of templates and knicknacks, the possibility to add files from external ( Read more... )
