HAPPY TUESDAY, FOLKS! TODAY WE BRING YOU A LOVELY TRSB WRITER, AUSSIE_LASS.

Hi, I’m Aussie_Lass but I also go by Aussie. I wrote a little fanfiction a long time ago. I’ve had a lot of time to be online because of covid and binge watched the trilogy and all of the hobbit and I thought I’d try writing again.

I’m writing for TRSB2020. Lucky for me by the time I decided I would try to claim a piece one of the ones I really liked was still available! I can’t art so I loved getting to see all of the great art everyone made!

A TALE OF TWO LORDS - AUSSIE_LASS

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was a hidden city, it was known but unseen, it was a time on the edge of a knife, and everyone fell. Glorfindel was not always so beloved, nor Erestor so wise. A slice of life story about the House of the Golden Flower in Gondolin, with the aftermath in Imladris.”

This is an NC17 story about Glorfindel and Erestor in Gondolin. The story has slavery in it and character death and slash. I wrote it for Elvensong for the 2006 Slashy Santa. I guess I was inspired by all of the great Glorfindel and Erestor stories I was reading at the time. I’m pretty proud of it because it was nominated for an award and it’s the longest fanfiction I’ve written.

Top creative tips/words of wisdom for fellow participants: Um, maybe I should get some of those myself? I guess relax and have fun? I was nervous at first, but my artist is really nice, and it’s nice to write again.
