Writing Elvenhome

[wiseheart]

It is a strange thing what a... captivating experience it is, I can't find a better world for it, to write such an intense, research-heavy piece of Tolkienfic. After being blocked with it for six whole years, I'm completely immersen in its dual world: the main storyline, which takes place around 2500, Third Age, and the countless history elements from the First Age that Celebrían gets confronted with.

I've written nine new chapters in a few months by now, another one is almost done, and I already know what in the following two chapters will likely tappen. It also spawned a one-shot during this time and the basic idea of The Dark Prince, which promises to be another epic tale... with certain connections to Elvenhome, no less.

The downside of the thing is that it eats me up completely. I'm basically non-present in all my other fandoms; I don't even read anything else, not even Tolkienfic in different settings. It demands such concentration that I practically exist in a vacuum while working on it.

A good thing that I don't have a life whatsoever. That could lead to complications. *g*

I've seen notices that showed you've been posting regularly. Hurrah!!! I'm so very delighted to hear that you are once again enraptured, seized, ensnared by writing. I look forward to losing myself in your Tolkfic realm as soon as RL lets me have enough free time with enough brain function to be able to read something that isn't work-related! [hugs and cheers]

Yeah, that's the thing with work, isn't it? Either you don't have any, and that breaks you, or you have too much, and then that breaks you.
