📖 Fic rec time! When you get this, reply with three fics that you've read and loved to pieces, then pass on to at least five other people who read fics. Let’s appreciate fic writers and their amazing stories 💖

Hello my friend 💖

First, let me apologise for answering this so late. Life has given me lemons lately and I needed to concentrate on my well-being. We always come out stronger, right. If we want to make lemonade, we need lemons too. 😉

As you know, I love reading fics and have loved so many it's pure evil to ask me name just three! So many great stories and writers will be left out!

Still, I managed to choose three, that is quite an accomplishment I can tell you that! These are all multi-chapter fics and from different fandoms.

The Hobbit: Guarding Your Heart by @guardianofrivendell and @laurfilijames Modern!Fili x oc Lucy, bodyguard au.

Hang on tight! Every chapter was a rollercoaster on so many levels for me so enjoy the journey!

Marvel: No Forgiveness by @bolontiku Loki x reader, mafia au. Trigger warnings are mentioned for a reason! Minors DNI.

Darker fics are not my usual reading material but the first chapter got me hooked. Feelings run high and low in its many forms in this multi-chapter fic.

Twilight: Her Three Kings by @thatfanficstuff Volturi Kings Aro, Caius and Marcus x oc Liliana.

The first Twilight fanfic I have ever read and I was hooked from the beginning! Forget the movies and canon. Enjoy the vampire world and the amazing ride this series offers.

While you are at it, check out the writers other fics as well. You won't regret it.

This is such a cute and good little writing warm up idea!

For a sentence idea how about:

The river was colder than anticipated, far, far colder…

(It’s been so long this turned into a writing exercise for me too 😅)

-dumbassunderthemountain

Haha, welcome to the club!

Thank you for the ask and let's give it a shot...

The river was colder than anticipated, far, far colder… ...but he did not give up; holding the tiny body of his sister in his arms, he waded forward in the swift current of the River Isen. "Not far now, Dís," he murmured to her, wondering if she could hear him over the noise of the foaming water. Her only response was her hand clutching into a fist, crumpling his soaked shirt; she held on to him tight untill he finally stepped onto the river bank, stones crunching under his iron-tipped boots. Thorin placed his sister on the top of a large rock, squatted, and smiled at her, "Wait for me here, Goblin. I need to help the others." He turned back to the water, seeing many of his people still on the other side of the river - it was going to be a very long nignt.

For the trope ask: how about “arranged marriage”?

Now, I’ve ventured down the rabbit hole before for arranged marriages. I always see this as being more for Guy of Gisborne and Raymond de Merville because of the time period.

So I’d be extremely likely to write it, and probably go for one of those two. However, I’d consider Thorin as well. Maybe even John Thornton. It’s definitely an interesting trope.

Thank you for the ask! ♥️ Always good to get the creative juices flowing and brain cogs turning.

Happy Monday! 🌞 If someone told you they could transport you in an instant to a place of your choice, any place, even an imaginary one, but you had to leave right now, would you go? And if yes, where would you go? 🧙‍♂️✨

Hey!

Happy (late) monday to you too! 😍😊

I have one question: would I be able to go back again? Cause I would miss my s/o and bunnies too much to leave forever, I'm afraid. 🙊

If so: I would go to Erebor, to see how beautiful and majestic the great dwarven city looks now that it's finally rebuilt! Also, I might not only admire the architecture, but also the fine dwarf specimens living there. 🍑😈 This includes Dís, of course. 🥰🥰

In the case Erebor is overcrowded (cause all the fangirlies are going to be there, OF COURSE!), I would leave for Dale and find Bard the bowman (*happy sigh). I'm sure he'll show me the city 😍 ... and maybe. Other stuff. 🙈😂

And maybe if this wizard is not too busy transporting me, they could also send me to Joel Miller? I mean... for obvious reasons 😂

[lotsofthinkythoughts]

💌 send this to the twelve nicest people you know or who seem to have a good heart and if you get five back you must be pretty awesome.

💗

Awww that's so sweet of you! Thanks dear!

💗💗💗

I do my best, and I think that's all any of us can do.

Hey! Here are my asks for the writer ask game:

☕️- favorite passage

💬- describe one of your completed works in three words

✏️- favorite part about writing

Ok, I know this took me forever (don't hate me, I'm just terrible with inbox messages once the little notification is gone) but here it is...

Favorite passage - My favorite passage is from the beginning of the first chapter of After the Fire because I tried to capture just the sheer destruction and devastation all around Jasna and I think I managed to do just that.

Describe one of my completed works in three words - Hoo boy... this is tough. I'm going to go with Damaged Goods and say the three words are "Fixed Coben's Mistake." :)

Favorite part of writing - it has to be the feeling when an idea comes and it actually works and takes off and the story feels like it just writes itself. It doesn't happen often, but I love when it does.

[andywinter16]

Here are my asks for the writer ask game if you feel like playing:

✏️- favorite part about writing

☕️- favorite passage

⭐️- how do you get your inspiration?

Thanks 😍

Hi there!! @lathalea Thank you very much for your ask, I will gladly join in too :)

✏️ - That I can get lost in the story and "live it" alongside the characters. Like you´re writing it, but there is not the outside world to disturb you. The writing will just consume you. If you read Alice in Wonderland there is the passage when Alice is falling into the rabbit hole. And that´s exactly what writing fells for me. It´s the excitement, the unknown where will the writing take me next.

☕️ - Oh no, that´s a hard one XD Well, maybe this one ...

"I´ve acomplished my mission, sir. The body will be found in the morning. " he said with carefully plastered poker face. His body rigid in army posture.

"Splendid, we will discuss it more at the meeting. The usual time and place. Now both of you, get to your stations." captain said firmly from signing his documents on the table. Luche and Tredd saluted their captain and left him to his work.

"Was it quick?" asked the redhead quietly when they left the office, it was unusual for Tredd to act like this. Luche exhaled softly and looked at him, his eyes were usually cold and calculating but now shards of remorse got to the surface.

"Perhaps too quick." Luche's voice sound dull to his own ears. Tredd nodded his head, dissapointment flashing briefly on his face. Without other words he went on his way when Luche called back to him weakly. "I did offer her to join us."

- Roses on your grave

⭐️ - Usually at work when I have no time to write it down. (which is a shame) But usually when I get into bus or any kind of public transport and get headphones. And I look around. Sometimes it´s bizzare with how the inspiration cames to me. Like the last time I was spacing out and this old gentleman took seat across from mine. And he had really cool cane! *snap* What if the the character had a cane and in it was sword!? It´s that simple with me. (In all honesty I never lacked ideas, like in my head I have planed a epic story that would took 30 books at least. I am just not good at writing it. XD)

[i-did-not-mean-to]

Mistress! It is me! If you feel like playing the writer ask game today, here are my questions:

💬- describe one of your completed works in three words

✏️- favorite part about writing

☺️- a line that made you feel a fluffy happiness

Thank you!

Hello Mistress!!! QUEEN!!!

Ohhhhhh asks for me…

💬- describe one of your completed works in three words

Who killed Amrod? (X if you want to find out)

✏️- favorite part about writing

Writing. The act of sitting somewhere and just let my fingers go clack clack clack on the keyboard :D

☺️- a line that made you feel a fluffy happiness

“Indeed they are,” Thorin gently cupped her face, marvelling at her delicate features. “Like your name in my heart.” And he poured his whole heart into the tender kiss that followed his words. Carra’s lips tasted like sweet, ripe raspberries gathered at dawn and Thorin allowed himself to cherish her closeness for a few stolen moments longer. When he finally took his leave, her eyes seemed to glow with iridescent light.

(X)

Here is one I loved of yours! Please, everyone, read this story!!! IT’S SO GOOD!!!!

Thank you so much for this ask!

Lots of love!

[estethell]

Happy monday to you too @lathalea ❤ I answer here only for a matter of blog convenience, thank you so much for this wonderful ask!!

My very first thought after reading this ask was "HONOLULU" because i remembered Merlin from "The sword in the stone" 🤣

I found this on Pinterest x'D

But looking back on it, the places I would like to go most of all are obviously The Shire (who wouldn't?) and Japan to visit the country 💞

Thank you for this ask, my askbox is always open for all!!

[mismaeve]

Hello! Here are my asks:

🤔 Are there any new characters you want to write about?

🐌 What is one of your smallest writing goals?

���Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

Hello darling, and thank you for the asks! 💕

🤔 Are there any new characters you want to write about?

Definitely the elves from The Silmarillion, Aragorn, Faramir and Eomer.

🐌 What is one of your smallest writing goals?

Currently, it's to finish my requests

💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

Honestly, at the moment, I don't feel that excited about anything. It's not a writer's block or anything like that, it's just that I currently don't have any new, amazing ideas to keep me awake at night sigh

Writer's Asks

[aduialel]

You have to spend a week stranded on a deserted island and can bring one person (real or fictional) with you. Who are you choosing?

Oh, my awesome friend, this is just pure evil! 😄 How can you ask me this!? Pure torture, I say. Few persons came to mind so let's see who they are and why, but who to choose, that is the big question.

Thranduil, the obvious choice. You know me and my fascination of him. Besides, who in their right mind wouldn't want to spend a WEEK in the presence of The Elvenking who is kind, wise and capable (in sooo many ways 😏), not to mention his awesome style who is hot as hell, the ultimate Daddy™️. The kind and wise debate is based on the movies but his people loved him and let's not forget he was an elected king and son of one too. Sure, he has his bouts of temper, but hey, nobody is perfect, not even The Elvenking himself. The deserted island would be a perfect setting to get to know him and what makes him tick. Our combined forces and culture differences would make interesting conversations but also solutions how to survive on the island - and if Eru is on my side, maybe even a little more action, at least flirting if nothing else. 😉

Loki. Surprising choice I know, but he is my favourite in Marvel universe. Norse mythology plays a huge part in this. For some reason I have always felt that he is a misunderstood individual in legends. He would be an awesome companion on a deserted island. I love the guy/god. Time would fly by so fast we wouldn't even notice it. Surviving on the island would be easy because of his shapeshifting and magician/trickster abilities - or maybe he is just humouring me. 😄

Keanu Reeves. I have been his fan since the 90's so this is no brainer. He is The Good Guy, humble, mysterious and charismatic person who has amazing sense of humour and he is a gentleman with capital G. It would be interesting to meet the man and discuss various topics with him. Trying to get off the island would be the last thing on my mind but surviving would depend on our abilities and knowledge. One thing I know for sure, we would have no shortage of ideas how to do it. Neither of us is a quitter. 😊

But who do I choose!? Do I really have to make a choice or maybe I could be so lucky as to have three separate weeks with each one. Of course in different islands and conditions so it would be fair for all of us. 😊 That option sounds more and more appealing. What do you say?

Thank you so much for this wonderful ask! 💖🫂

Happy Tolkien Reading Day!

A Tolkien Ask for You:

Name one worldbuilding headcanon of yours that you are most proud of contributing to the Tolkien fandom.

Thank you so much for your ask! :) <3

That's such a wonderful idea and I adore the way you're spreading appreciation for Tolkien and fan creators throughout the fandom! :) Thank you for doing that ☀️☀️☀️

And before you say I'm late - I'm like Gandalf, I'm never late, I arrive precisely when I mean to :D

I've been thinking very hard about your excellent question - it's a really tough one - but I think I have managed to find one that I'd like to talk about.

The Significance of the Ravens of Ravenhill

The Ravens of Ravenhill have a close bond with the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain. Among them, there are White Ravens (one per generation), created by Yavanna (with some help). A White Raven's goal is to protect one specific dwarf whose fate is significant for the future of the Middle Earth. The White Ravens have dreams that warn them about danger or give them a glimpse into future events.

I don't want to go into much detail here because I wouldn't like to spoil anything to anyone who is reading this, but if you'd like to know more, I used this concept in one of my stories: The White Raven.

The story focuses on the White Raven who is the protector of Thorin Oakenshield and on the perils they both have to face in order to fight off the evil.

I'm not sure how significant this contribution to the Tolkien fandom is, but as long as there are people who like the story, it makes me a very happy writer :)

[fizzyxcustard]

1) I’m the youngest of four sisters.

2) I’ve technically written a book but the manuscript is in a box somewhere.

3) I used to train in Wado Ryu karate.

4) One of my favourite pastimes, next to writing, is journaling and collaging.

Here's a bunch of questions for the Writer Ask Game:

⭐️- how do you get your inspiration?

💘- what’s your favorite AU? Least favorite?

☕️- favorite passage

Hey 😊!

Ooh interesting questions!! Let's go:

⭐️- how do you get your inspiration? Well... I mean... Thorin's 🍑 is a huge inspiration of mine. 😂😂 But jokes (not really) aside, for me inspiration is to be found everywhere! It ranges from listening to a song, to reading fics from my talented writers friends, to watching series/movies or reading a book, and finally to day dreaming (an excessive lot of it). And when I'm stuck, discussing a plot with my s/o (poor guy) or friends really helps me to find my way again.

💘- what’s your favorite AU? Least favorite? My favorite AU is the "Everybody Lives" AU, which is, to be honest, not even a real AU. Since it is, you know, a fact. So, if I had to choose another one, I'd say "regency" AU, cause I LOVE my period dramas and regency men/dwarves are SOMETHING!! 🤩🥰

My least favorite would be the "modern" AU, and then I mean in the most drastic way (characters are living their lives in this world, ME does not exist). Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of lovely fics to find in this category which I love. But I think it has to do with the fact that I adore Tolkien's universe so much: the modern world becomes so... mundane (also, a serious lack of dragons 🐉!!).

☕️- favorite passage This passage is from A Tale as Old as Time, my Bard the Bowman x OC fic! "But Bard… Bard was entirely something else. Brea adored the bowman’s confidence and strong sense of self and found that unlike other men his age, these characteristics didn’t make him presumptuous; his bright mind and clear moral compass simply forbade it. Bard had already made it through the trials of young age and came out the wiser, allowing him to be both gentle and fierce when needed. And though he would beg to differ if he knew, Brea believed his company to be as exciting as Ruthron’s had been—maybe even more—though in his own, calm way. He simply was everything a man ought to be."

I don't think this is the best passage I've ever written (oh yeah I see the flaws), but it clearly shows my vision of the character and my adoration for him. 🙈🥰

Thank you so much for asking ❤❤❤❤

You were striking, to put it simply. The noises surrounding the fire were drowned out by your presence; neither boisterous laughter, arguments over a dinner roll, nor the teasing of his brother filtered into Fili's ears as he admired you from across the camp.

The firelight danced across your face in a warm ethereal glow, your smile stretched wide as you listened to Gandalf's stories. The brightness of your person beaming much like the stars overhead.

"You're staring," Kili's voice finally caught Fili's attention, making the blond snap his attention back down to his dinner plate.

Kili's snickers were an annoyance and while he would've typically shoved his brother and told him some very colorful words in Khuzdul, instead he felt flushed and warm in the face as he stared at the dish. Had you even taken a curious glance around the fire, you would've seen him.

A frown took hold of Kili's face, this wasn't like his brother. "I didn't mean harm by it," Kili reassured, his hand going up to pat Fili on the back but missed as Fili stood.

"No harm given," Fili spoke simply as he walked to return his dish for washing, a troubled look on his face as he realized the feeling he had held inside for so long; yearning.

You have to spend a week stranded on a deserted island and can bring one person (real or fictional) with you. Who are you choosing?

Ok, first, let me apologize for taking so long to answer this, but it was really tough for me because there are a LOT of people on my list for something like this.

My initial response was Boromir, because he's my latest fixation. And then it was Sean Bean because... well.. SEAN BEAN, amirite? Who's turning down a week on a deserted island with that man?

But, the more I thought about it (have I mentioned I'm really good at overthinking things? Because I am REALLY good at overthinking things) then I decided maybe George Carlin. I'd love to get his take on the state of the world and the idiocy of American politics.

However, in the end, I decided to go with what was behind Door #2 and Sean Bean because I think a week on a deserted island with him and I am not going to give a fuck about what's going on in the real world. In fact, I'd be perfectly happy to just stay on that island with him...
