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.

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. :)
