Sad, sad things

[wiseheart]

School starts tomorrow again. 'nuff said.

My poor Orcses got swallowed on FF.Net without notice. I expected it, as this is the fate of all stories that don't have hott Elves or Men innit (although it has Éomer), but it's still a sad, sad thing. But, well, most of my regular readers (all four or five of them) have left the fandom during the recent year, so that's it, I guess. At least on SOA one can still hope to be found by accident.

Erm... have I mentioned already that school starts tomorrow?

Your story will find readers, never fear. The problem is that everything posted on ff.net gets buried quickly, and now that we're in the post-movie slump, I get the feeling even active readers aren't reviewing as much as they once did.

Yes, I know all the reasons. But it's still frustrating, you know. I naive thing hoped that after the movies are gone, the HOTTT actors doing something else, the fandom would be less overflooded with teenage fantasies and people who are actually interested in Tolkien and genuine Tolkienfic would grow stronger again.

Ah, well, my mistake, I guess.

Unfortunately, I don't think there was much interest in "genuine Tolkienfic" prior to the movies. The fandom then was extremely small, and it looks like it's in the process of contracting again now that the movie excitement is ebbing (although I doubt it will ever be as small a fandom as it was pre-PJ).
