if you have suggestions, please leave them in the replies! i actually have a Lot more of the visuals done (all the elves, most of the dwarves, and photos saved to make edits for the hobbits and ainur) but the writing is the part that really takes time/effort. i do enjoy the writing but the effort is what made me stop working on this series.

basically, i'm considering reviving it, but possibly with much shorter captions...though again i do really like the finished product i've got so far, so idk. i welcome your thoughts!

A take on Melian: I think she’d look sort of unsettling.

I enjoy the Two Cakes Philosophy and I believe it deserves its place enshrined in fandom culture.

Forgive me for the extended metaphor but I also want to simultaneously celebrate what I’m calling Bakery Display Case Philosophy. You know when you walk into a bakery and the display case is full of beautiful treats? And there’s a variety of different colors, textures, and flavors to discover? And that’s so deeply exciting?

You might say to yourself, “No one is going to want to read this pairing. No one is going to want to want a character study of that character. No one wants genfic in this fandom, only shipfic.”

And you might use that to discourage yourself from writing a certain fic.

Fandoms, like bakeries, need cakes and cookies and éclairs and cream puffs and shortbread and brownies and pies and tarts and petit fours and turnovers and cinnamon rolls and madeleines and meringues—and so many other things—to survive.

Write your dark chocolate pistachio croissant fic. Your fandom needs it actually.
