I was recc'ed!

Hee! Emansil_08 emailed me to let me know- I've not written HP in what seems like a long while and I'm always thrilled and gratified to realize that people haven't forgotten my body of work, and still enjoy my stories.

So that really made my day. Writing Gimli is also great fun, though his 'voice' hasn't quite settled for me yet. Due to the situation of the story I'm writing, at times there's a lot of his inner thoughts going on which is perhaps not what people think of when they think of Dwarves… but Gimli is rather a unique Dwarf and I'm really loving getting back into what I think Dwarvish culture is like and how they interact with each other. In fact, on Monday when I was modeling I spent a goodly amount while sitting still, gazing off and mulling over what Dwarvish funereal practices might be like. :) Glad to have my muse back! She was on quite the trip.

That reminds me, I was going to tell you, too. I didn't see the crackbroom post but wwmrsweasleydo posted this on her journal as well.

Well, emansil beat me to it. Glad you know. It's cool to know that people still read and enjoy older stories, isn't it?

Thanks so much! And it's lovely to see you, too. ♥ It really is so gratifying to know people haven't forgotten my HP stuff- not all of it is that old, but I haven't been an active writer in the fandom for over a year now. People move on! But every once in a while I'll get an LJ PM or an email from someone who has read a bunch of my stuff and that's such a treat.

I owe you a letter! Hope that things are going well for you. (((hugs)))

Writing dwarves is always such fun. I tend to imagine them as being a bit on the curt side, but also very blunt with a wry, understated sense of future. Almost... British, in a certain way, but not the upper-class (think more Snape than Malfoy).

Glad to hear how the writing is going!

Yes, getting their 'voice' can be a bit tricky because I suspect they are more effusive with each other than with other races, and Gimli especially, and Gimli *most* especially post-WR. It's great fun! I now have to go and review what they did with Thorin Oakenshield after he died so I can keep going in my story. :)
