7/17/10 EDIT NOTE: Hey all! I AM SO SORRY I've been gone! T_T Life just kind of blew me along there for a while, but I'm trying to pick back up on the things I've missed. I started writing fanfiction under a different name on this website (NewMoonFlicker) due to the fact that I got sucked into a different genre and didn't want to make that and this co-exist. Would have felt like I was ditching or moving on from LOTR if I tried to combine the two. I don't presently have any plans for more LOTR fanfiction (but who knows, muse is a fickle thing), but I just want to be around still. .O.O. I hope that's okay!
I'll read, beta, and critique for anyone if I find the opportunity or if anyone just asks. Feel free to PM me anytime, especially those of you who have left me such lovely reviews and didn't leave a calling card! Please?! :D

And now, moving on to the regular jazz...

Mae govannen, mellyn! ((enthusiastic wave))

I'm 23, living presently in Meridian, ID, working toward a degree in Psychology and working for a chiropractor as a transcriptionist. I write (and work on the quality of my writing) during every spare moment, draw and doodle on a fairly frequent basis, and poke around fanfiction regularly.

Though the energy has more or less faded, I am still totally obsessed with Tolkien's work ~ The Lord of the Rings is both my favorite book and favorite movie series. Legolas-Aragorn fanfiction (friendship ONLY!) by Cassia and Sio () really started it off for me though. Beautiful, beautiful stories, go read them if you haven't!

I greatly enjoy reading and reviewing stories (just go look at my favorites ;P) and I will critique if it is asked for, as will I accept it graciously if it is given to me!

Since I now have enough stories to place them in some kind of an order (since I can't get them in the right order below) Here they all are in Chronological Order (or if you were to ask me :D) Reading Order. I hope this helps! ~

I am a FRIENDSHIP writer, NOT a SLASH writer, so please don’t take it that way. I hate slash!

If that offends you, I’m sorry, but that’s not how I intend my stories to be interpreted and I want to be sure you know it.

If I may quote a very wise actor on the subject (when asked about Frodo and Sam‘s relationship)...

“They have a very close relationship that sort of transcends friendship. Those feelings are probably there and they probably exist. I wouldn't say that it has anything to do with homosexuality but it is certainly one possible interpretation of it. I don't think Frodo and Sam, in the way they are portrayed, either confirm or deny it. But I personally don't really see it from that perspective. I just see them as being completely tied to each other in a very personal and emotional way.”

~~ I am very profound in my writing, but I do not intend to overstep the line of friendship, or brotherhood, ever. ~~

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."

~ Henri Nouwen

"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away."

"There is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one's self, the very meaning of one's soul."
