June of Doom & Gloom - Week 4 discussion and etc. post

[huinare]

Welcome to week 4 (challenge details here yadda yadda)! We still have a week until July 1st, so we're not off the hook yet. I'm excited that finished stories have appeared on the scene!
Discussion in comments, if so desired. Woes, gloating, links to your stories? Optional discussion topic for all: Are there ways in which your writing has changed since around this time last year--in terms of writing style, themes, plot devices, characters, or whatever else? Go!

Aww, thank you!

Apologies if my SWG comment was kind of flippant in regards to the Valinor thing. I was too eager, it seems, to interpret it in light of my cynicism. ;)

None needed at all! Cynicism is half the reason I wrote it; I can't buy them just sailing into Valinor, either. But since I'm inordinately fond of the Tuor-becomes-immortal ending, I needed some reason to justify that with canon saying Eärendil was the first success. (Sad to say, I didn't actually think of the possibility until I came up with the story idea. Cue a light bulb going on in my head: "Oh! That's how it happened.")

Ahh, I see. That works!
