There had been no shortage of flailing and muffled protests as he was soundly and thoroughly kissed by the dark lord. He had even gone so far as to stomp one foot and hit at his sides and shoulders with his fists but they had done little good.
As soon as he was released, he stared up at the other before reaching up to snatch the mistletoe from its hook and throw it on the ground. He promptly stomped it into oblivion before dramatically wiping his mouth. ”Ossë always said you were worse than any tentacled beast and now I see what he means!”
Well I’ve never met a betentacled beast that could kiss even half as well as me! And I’ve met a few!
“Ossë! You’ve stood under the Parasitical Yule Weed! It’s a hallowed tradition that those standing under the Yule Weed together must embrace, lather each other with peppermint oil, and wrestle to see who is wins the opportunity to write his name across the loser’s buttocks!
Not doing so is a grave offense, and brings 7 years bad fortune! You’re lucky I was here to explain it to you.”
In January 2015, I will be presenting a paper about the Tolkien fan fiction community at the Mythmoot III conference in Baltimore. While other fandoms have been studied in depth, particularly television fandoms, very little study has been done on the Tolkien fandom, and my ten years of experience in this community have caused me to conclude that, while we share some similarities with other fandoms, we also differ in some important regards. I hope, through my Mythmoot presentation, to provide not only background on our community, its history, and its practices for an audience that may not be familiar with the fan fiction community, but also to begin to identify and examine some of the ways that our community differs from how fandom has been understood and presented by scholars.
As part of this, I have put together a survey for participants in the Tolkien fan fiction community. The purpose of the survey is to collect data on the habits, beliefs, and preferences of Tolkien fans who participate in reading and/or writing fan fiction. No identifying information, including IP address, is collected as part of the survey. You may skip any questions you do not want to answer or quit the survey at any time. I estimate that it will take about 15-20 minutes to complete.
If you have ever read or written Tolkien-based fan fiction, you are eligible to participate.
Please feel free to direct any questions, comments, or concerns to me via email (DawnFelagund@gmail.com) or private message. And do feel free to reblog this post or share the link to the survey; I would like to get as many perspectives as possible from as many corners of our community as possible.
Just out of curiosity, anyone have any constructive criticism or suggestions for my art, writing, or RP? Anything I do consistently that breaks scene for you, or just generally stands out as an area that could be improved?

|| For a moment, before I read the description, I thought it was some fanart for Avatar’s Water tribe… I love this Ilmare! Beautiful yet sort of creepy, giving off a powerful and dangerous vibe.
