FSC: Day 4, 5

Day Four

Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"

Day Five
In your own space, talk about a creator. Show us why you think they are amazing.

______________

I'm counting Day Four done, as I'd inadvertently filled the prompt a couple times very shortly before it went live.

Day Five:
Gwenniel sprang first to mind, as I was recently checking deviantArt (which I don't do frequently enough) and found both art and writing by her that I really enjoyed.  Gwen posts a lot of Tolkien--mainly Silmarillion--as well as Naruto (which I cannot claim any knowledge of).  Her writing is insightful, and she has a distinctive art style with great use of soft colors and shadow.  She writes/draws a lot of Elves, but, being what I am, I'm choosing something else to recommend:
Story: "Of Eru and Melkor" (philosophical and not-quite-rosy view of the nature of Eru)
Art: Thuringwethil.  I love this character design!

Yes! Gwen deserves much more attention than she gets. :D

Everyone go look at her stuff.

(And yes, I'll admit I'm biased because we RP as Aegnor and Orodreth together and have written several stories that bounce off each others, in addition to being friends. But go look at her stuff, people. Give her love and comments and good things like that, because she deserves them. :D)

Sorry that I've hijacked your comment section for this, Huin...but I'm still giving Gwen love and affection for her last story.

No you're not hijacking this is exactly what you're supposed to do the whole point of this challenge is to promote the fandom warm-and-fuzzy run-on-sentence!

I thought you would like that Thuringwethil when I saw her!

=D I tend to like Thuringwethils that look neither monstrous nor like the female lead of a Gothic metal band.
