  1. And more thanks to you, Joyeuse! Ahh… you are having exactly the feelings for Erestor as we intended. This phase won’t last forever. The twins will own up soon.. then what will he be like? He can’t allow their deception to go unpunished…. I’m glad you are still reading this one too. It’s my personal favourite of the two. I love the twins so much, and I will continue the evil plans we had for them in full. Elrohir will not be pleased about that, I can tell you.. *smirks*
  2. Thank you very much, Joyeuse! I am glad you are still enjoying the story despite the long leave of absence. Legolas’ education is about to begin in earnest. I hope you’ll have fun reading the rest!
  3. I’ve been trying to write Elrond/Celebrian all day, despite frequent interruptions, and I have to say, while she is a dreadful tease, he can really tie her in knots with words when he puts his mind to it… Surprised me when I started noticing it, but then I suppose it makes sense, him being such a diplomat and all.

    Yes, this means I am writing heterosexual romance… hold the press.

    It also means I have broken into your box and eaten your chocolates, CL… I was writing het, I was desperate. I will get you some more ;)

     

  4. Now that I’ve gotten over my childishness earlier, on this Thanksgiving day, I am toying with the idea of writing a comedy/horror story where the ranks of the ghosts of the working class, past and present, conspire to terrorise their enemies. Wherein the first idiot to say: “Yeah, but they’ve got a widescreen tv to watch Jeremy Kyle on!” will be decapitated by a horrifically angry child in rags. Where London’s biggest Waitrose branch becomes a food bank. And every beautiful old building we’ve got that’s been converted into a luxury anything is immediately reclaimed as a public library/art gallery/place to hang out.   

    Those hiding in the Ritz and Harrods will find themselves in a converted factory, on an production line where they have to sort stones from pebbles as piecework. Forever. The first of them to say: “I’ve worked hard for what I’ve got.” will lose a limb, teaching them a valuable lesson about what they’ve actually got, and how little it relates to imaginary work that they’ve never had to do. Until now.

      :hug: I adore you, do you know that?

  5. Anyone ever have those days where you think:

    “What is the actual point?”

    And then have to go back to bed before you start hitting the delete button all over the place?

    *sighs*

    I can never work when I feel like this. Although if I could only harness it… the sensation of being almost completely invisible while screaming into the endless void would surely come in useful for writing Maglor.

    *tries to tempt brain into creativity*

    Nope… :(

    *goes back to bed*

      Yes, the daft one is working today as well. And tomorrow. And Saturday. Universities don’t close campuses. On the other hand, he’s going to make a ridiculous amount of overtime, which is always good.

      Good thing about working holidays is holiday pay!

      Ah… overtime. I remember it well. Back when we had good factory jobs and a decent industrial strategy. And a nice strong union. I was happy to work sixteen hour days then. Eight on production, eight on cleaning. My wages were immense. *sighs*

      Mr xxxxx used to walk the factory floor, and everyone used to like him. Then big business bought the company so it was no longer family run. It was crap after that. For all two thousand of us. :(

  6. Thank you for all of these words you’ve left for me this evening! You’re amazing! Both of the twins have greatly underestimated Erestor… they’ll soon find out just how much Their deception is shortly to come to an end. They’re realising they cannot keep it up. Then the fun can really start (as Erestor sees it). He, erm, has several rather wicked things in mind, as you might be able to imagine. He’s been a mere teacher in Prince in Training, but here he will be let loose. If this is one of your favourites, then I shall make certain it gets regular updates. You’re so wonderful, Bronx
  7. Thank you so much, Bronx! <3 Aww… poor Erestor, yes, but don’t forget he has two beautiful, submissive sons of Elrond awaiting him back in Imladris. The Gods only know what they’re putting poor Glorfindel through. We actuallly commissioned some lovely artwork for this, which will make an appearance soon. I talked to TAFKAB a while ago, and she said if I felt inspired, I should write on these stories. At this point, I am not sure she will be back to finish them, and if that proves to be the case, I will finish them myself. I wanted to write something that was entirely Thranduil and Legolas. If I finish these, I intend to continue in this universe with a Legolas/Elladan/Elrohir story.
  8. Somehow I missed this one – so sorry about that, but thank you so much! I’m glad you are enjoying it, niremi!
  9. Thank you, Bronx! Thank you so much for these compliements. While contemplating writing this, I was thinking that Iason’s body wasn’t built to feel pleasure, or experience orgasm. Rather, the genials Iason has been provided with by Jupiter are described in canon as those of “the most advanced sex android.” I’d imagine he has the ability to simulate orgasm, and enough sensors to adjust his performance. But then I realised that all the magic really happens in the brain, and it occurred to me that the brain is powerful enough to make use of what it is given, even if that is a simulated android body with sophisticated input sensors. To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum’s character in Jurassic Park: “The brain will find a way.” You are right about Iason’s cruelty too. He’s spent all of his life in this world where each fulfils his own role. Riki is the first and only exception to that, and it has him intrigued. Something has changed in Iason, but I’m not all that positive it’s for the better either. For what it’s worth, as I’m writing him now, he still feels highly analytical. I am not at all certain that is good news. I could really ramble about this all day. The only way I’ll find out for sure is to write it, lol.
  10. Thank you so much, Bronx! The more I play with these two, the more I find that observing them is a love/hate thing. They’re currently being incredibly cruel to Luthien in libre office. And I agree completely, Glorfindel is in a completely different class to them… a better one. I’m glad you’re still enjoying the story. I can just imagine these two becoming quite obsessed with each other, while continuing to play tricks on each other all along, which will make them more ready to excuse their deeds. They’ve done some really terrible things, and the trick in this is to show all of that, as dark as it is, while still having them as adversaries of Morgoth. You’re awesome!
  11. Chapter Twenty-four
  12. I appear to be the only one posting lately in the ‘Promote A Story’ thread… weird… *sets to work on The Teacher*

  13. Frankie Boyle. Please don’t ever stop. :lol:

    Trump alienated the Republican base. There are Republican politicians who didn't vote for him. Those are some of the worst people in the world. How can you lose them? There are people who didn't vote for Trump who would have voted for Magneto.

    He said a lot of mad, racist and sexist stuff – stuff that would have got you fired from any other job. Just imagine, you get called in by your HR and they go:

    “We're sorry, Larry. You've said a lot of mad, racist and sexist stuff. You can't stack timber anymore. The only job you're now qualified for is President of the United States of America.”

     

     

  14. Thank you, ILoveDexter! I’m glad you had fun with those two chapters.
  15. Chapter Four and Chapter Five – hope you enjoy. Please take note of the additional warning at the top of chapter five.
  16. And before the end of the day… Robert Vaughn. RIP :( *sighs*

      Come on 2017, you can only be an improvement.. surely.

  17. Thank you so much, Bronx! Riki is indeed in over his head, and Iason is cruel. It’s strange though, because when I write him, he doesn’t feel cruel. He’s not so much ignorant as unable to appreciate Riki’s humanity. Also, he knows the reactions Riki is inspiring in him ought to be impossible, and yet there they are. Daryl… he’s just a tender, lost soul. He sees Riki’s rebellion as a spark that isn’t just set against Iason, but against the whole set up. Although I’m quite sure he doesn’t think in those terms. Not yet, anyway. There is far to go. Writing Iason is so fascinating! I’m going to enjoy the next scene. How would an android approach it? I have a few speculative answers, and it’s quite unlike anything I’ve written before. I’m not sure what Riki will make of it, but he’s feeling kind of sarcastic and scathing. I’m sure that will just ensure his fate, poor sod.
  18. Thank you, ILoveDexter! I shall certainly try, although the muses are playing with the dressing up box lately, and I have to write what they tell me. But some of the next chapter is already written, so it shouldn’t be too long.
  19. Goodbye, Leonard Cohen; thank you, and peace to you.

    2016 continues to march... On remembrance day, too. It seems as appropriate as any of the other insane things that have happened lately.

    “They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old,

    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,

    At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,

    We will remember them.”

    At the two minutes silence today, it’s obligatory to look back, but recent events might cause a few of us to look forward.

  20. Chapter Three – Oh, Riki! Please heed the warning at the beginning folks!
  21. And here as well… you are too good to me, you know… Thank you…
