But short of stopping AMC for six months, I have to go ahead and share it, right? ;)
*gasp* Stopping AMC for six moths? *shakes head vigorously*
Like he's OOC for part of this chapter? Because I do want to show his gradual acceptance that things might not go his way, that another might be chosen over him, but I don't want this to be sudden.
No, I do not think that Maitimo is out of character at all. He simply reaches another level of understanding, and, perhaps, another stage in his life. He would love to have a wife and a home of his own, but, at the same time, he realizes that he is so closely bound to Feanaro and all of his family that he will always feel the need to return to his initial home. He is simply growing up and starting to accept that his life may not turn out as he wishes or as he plans it.
Well, we have very different styles. I can't see that sort of line in one of your stories either, no offense to your stories. Nor would I want to. Overdone melodramatic epics are not embarked upon lightly!
We have different styles, indeed, but it's important (and nice) that we both understand and enjoy each other's work. I'm not offended at all and I think I know why my stories are mostly light hearted and smutty. It's this childish urge to make at least one of my characters think like me ans react like me. My fics focus on the fun more than on the emotional, because I could not properly describe love and the angst that goes with it, not having lived it in real life. *is not sorry, though*
Lol, and overdone melodramatic is not the expression to characterize your writing. Nope, it sure is not.
Original fic spawned from fanfic!
And why not? Why, I've got a melodramatic OFC in my hair now, created by Jenni. (the melodramatic part is all mine, though)
Maybe if we're snowed in tomorrow, he will have no choice but to talk to me.
Is it snowing that bad over there? The weather here is not so bad, not terribly cold anymore and snowing every now and then.
(no subject)
