Hello everyone!
Since I am currently, as people threading with me will have undoubtly noticed, a bit low on Irmo-muse fuel,
I am today and now launching a trio of Angband muses!
A balrog with confidence issues! I happy-go-lucky knuckleheaded troll and an ice wyrm with a foul mood.
Go and say hello 🙂
And another reblog for the later crowd.
Come plot/grab the starters o.o
An interesting trio of muses!

AAAWW! Look who I found on Sketchfab!
I have previously alluded to the deep friendship between Dísa, the noble Dwarf-woman of the House of Narvi, and Mélamírë, the Second Age elven-smith of Ost-in-Edhil, e.g., Chapter 28 of The Elendilmir and Chapter 4 of The Writhen Pool. This is a collection of stories about these two OFCs of the Pandë!verse.
So. OFCs. Pandë!verse. That’s fair warning. Probably of interest to a limited audience.
REVVING MYSELF UP TO READ THIS
Independent Tolkien RP blog for Geyra, a Longbeard dwarrowdam in the Third Age. Mun and muse are of…||If you like Dwarves, take a look at this one. 😀 New blog run by a good friend of mine — let’s see about welcoming her into the Tolkien RP community, guys? 😀
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.
HEY THIS IS AWESOME 😀
