The twins really don't get enough screen time. Even I don't have much in my head concerning them or their personalities.
This was my first time working with the twins as real characters rather than two identical-looking dudes chillin' in the background or comic figures. It was fun to give them actual personalities.
Too often, when Tolkien's twins appear in fanfic (and this applies to more than just Ambarussa), they are the Weasley twins with pointy ears. I've never gotten a "prankish" impression off of any of the sets of twins (or possible twins, since no one's really positive about Elrond and Elros, it seems); Ambarussa seems rather sheltered to me.
Hehe, if it's my hair, I pick it out and discreetly drop in on the floor or something. Luckily, my hair is not as long as yours. ;)
Hee! With me, it's more like pulling and pulling until my arm's fully stretched, and the hair's still coming.... :^P
For this reason, I put my hair in a bun, cover it with a scarf, and inspect my clothes before beginning any work with candy!
(I just tried to type "Feannoy" about six times...ain't that the truth? :P)
LMAO!! Appropriate, methinks!
Have you a story idea for good ol' Maeglin in mind there? >;)
Nah, not yet. I Just Don't Go There. I find the guy fascinating and could probably get as involved with his story as I have with the Feanorians, but I have enough muses to suit me, thank you very much! ;)
On a totally unrelated note, I was going to take a super hot bath and see if I couldn't write something on real paper. But apparently the stopper thing is broken so the water drains out of the tub no matter what. I am more upset by this than I normal person should be.
Oh, sounds nice! My only problem with hand-writing stories is that I tend to be too lazy to type them up later. I wrote a story in Ocean City last summer about how Finarfin met Earwen...and it's still moldering in last year's writing notebook. :^/
But good luck, both with getting the stopper to work and the muses to come to you in the bathtub! >;^))
And I love unexpected subplots! Especially when they're part of someone else's story, not crazying up my own. ;)
Oh, I love them in my own! I love when a story takes off in a direction I never expected or resolves itself more cleverly than I could ever have done consciously. "Paper" was that way, and I think that might be one of my more cleverly plotted stories...and it was all on the fly. o.O
