Still not seen The Hobbit...

[wiseheart]

... since I'm practically imprisoned home, due to illness. But some meagre advantage has come from the new Tolkien boom. A tiny handful of people have discovered my Dwarf- and Hobbit-related stuff on FF.Net, namely "A Dwarven Yuletide", "Elf-Root", "Prisoner of Dol Guldur" and "Astonishment in Mirkwood". I haven't got a Tolkienfic review for Ages - until now!

I firmly decided to watch the films as dubious fanfic. That way, I won't be too disappointed. I hope. Because what I've read about the Dwarves so far doesn't make me very optimistic.

Oh, hell, it has Martin Freeman! And it will have the Cumberbatch Dragon later! For that, I'll endure Elrond the Creep and Radioactive Galadriel again.

If only I could finally stop this bloody coughing! Over a week without uninterrupted sleep at night is no fun. Even though last night I actually managed 5 hours of sleep - in 3 pieces.

Sending lots of good wishes your way. My hits went up this month so maybe the Hobbit films are the reason though the stories have neither Hobbits nor dwarves in them.

Yeah, but it turns the general attention towards the Tolkienverse again. I think I'll avoid the Hobbit section of FF.Net like the plague for a while. Don't feel up to stumble across all that inane Dwarf slash that will doubtlessly emerge in the wake of the films.

I don't have any pricipial problems with slash, as you know. I even write the stuff occasionally. But based on what I've seen in the Sherlock section, I fear the worst, so I'm not subjecting myself to that.
