FFA friending meme

[cloudsinvenice]

Hi gentlefailers,

By mildly popular request, here's a  fail_fandomanon   friending meme! I'm cross-posting it to DW and LJ, and there's also an official Tumblr post here: http://failfandomanon.tumblr.com/post/50880814316/fail-fandomanon-friending-meme-you-asked-for-it

Answer only the ones you want to, and add anything else you think should be there. I just ran with the enthusiasm and didn't want to spend forever making up questions and miss the moment, so feel free to add anything else you think should be there/questions nobody's ever asked that you'd love to answer.

Friend away!

That's fine! :D

Oh god, I so agree about the pigeon. I physically flinched away from the screen when I first saw it. Unexpected pigeons are not okay!

I love LoTR a lot, but I can't seem to read fic for it (although I love Legolas/Gimli too) -- I guess the Silm has a lot more holes in it that fic gets at? Not with boarding AUs, maybe, but in other ways.

Oh, yessss, Silmarillion is more elliptic! For me, the difference is also that Silm is less, hmm, intertwined with the style of writing? Like, it's written in varying tones and there's always a storyteller's distance over it. So it's easier to write fic for it in any style - whereas, with LotR, the prose is very immediate and grand, and I have the need to imitate it but don't have the skill.

Yeah, there's a distinct advantage for telling the story from thirty-thousand feet! I've not read many Silmfics that imitate the actual style of the book, for which I am deeply grateful.
