>> I never had the chance to discuss Tolkien with anyone since I learned about the existence of the fandom.<<
Yeah. Never met other Tolkien-fans myself until 20 years after I first read LOTR. The internet has given us a unique chance to find like-minded people. I think the other participants are more into fandom than I, but it'll be fun, being able to talk about your hobby without people looking at you a bit funny.
>>When I'm in great stress, writing is an outlet that keeps me sane.<<
Therapeutic. Hmm, makes sense. Good for you that you're able to do that.
>>>Have you ever noticed any relation between stress and the nature of what you write?<<<
>>Sometimes, yeah. When I was younger, definitely. Tend to write more angst, smut and gore in these times, albeit less so in thse days.<<
