Sorry, Celebrimbor: Mid-month(ish) post

[huinare]

I don't know about you, but all I want to write now is write really angsty and/or horrific things. I guess that's why this is a "challenge," eh? Look, I'm "challenging" myself. Hopefully you will excuse the inelegant post, as I'm literally sick and tired, and, predictably, have not yet made good on mine own challenge. ;)

hhimring posted a lovely ficlet about Celebrimbor over on her LJ, and bunn has a delightful visual/narrative post about the first ring made in Eregion (not sure if it's affiliated, strictly speaking, but it looks relevant to me!).

Contrary to the words of the overused song, it is NOT too late to apologize.  There is still almost half of a month to go!

Working on stuff that fits the challenge? Let us know in the comments section! :)

Just walked in and wondering WTF is this? See the tag!

Okay, this was a tad strange. That song is playing on the radio as I read this post :( Am I being told I absolutely HAVE to get on with this challenge or what?

Friday okay with you, Universe?

Dude! The Universe is clearly speaking to you. Better get on that. ;D

It was intended to be affiliated - should I have tagged it in some way?

[huinare.livejournal.com]

Naw, no need to use up a tag on it. I just wasn't 100 percent sure and didn't want to make presumptions. =)

I'm writing a tooth-rottingly fluffy Celebrimbor/Finrod fic that will be done before the month is out (hopefully this weekend). It's amusing me no end that I'm having to apologise to poor Celebrimbor even as I write this, because, yep, there's a (brief) scene in it where he's tortured by Sauron.

Sorry, Celebrimbor. So sorry.

Ahahaha! I figured that might inevitably happen to someone. =D Good luck with your fic. =D

I've finished my story!

It's basically all sweetness and love except for a tiny bit of torture, whoops.

Yay, thank you! Left comment on AO3. =)

Ah, this is a good reminder that I should try to get some of my plot-bunnies out of my head and into actual words. I've written about 1100 words of a thing, which is not finished or ready to share publicly but I may post a snippet to my own LJ.

I put aside the different thing I was working on where not at all nice things happen to Celebrimbor, in order to finish some exchange fics, and I haven't quite managed to go back to it, though it just needs some editing. I'm not sure whether that fulfills the spirit of the exchange by postponing the horrible things, or whether it's yet another thing I should apologize to Celebrimbor for!

I'll be happy to read whatever you're good with posting!

Heheh, I'll go with "yes" on that one. X)

I wrote a couple of paras of the beginning of the Celebrimbor / Easterling plot bunny I mentioned to you, posted here:

It's unlikely that I'll manage to complete it soon (that is, before August or even later), so that was by way of a compromise.

Life is filled with compromises, indeed! Heading over to read now.
