All Shall Love Me and Despair

If you have me friended on Facebook, you may have seen this already and can happily scroll on by. :)

Two requests:

1) Does anyone happen to have a copy of Mews1945's "Of a Hobbit and a King"? Her LJ is deleted, the archive site where it was also saved (West of the Moon) is gone, and the Internet Archive backup of the latter only has the title page for the fic, not the chapters themselves. 😢

2) There's a fic where Dom and Elijah get transported from the LotR film set to actual Middle Earth due to disturbing a Maori artifact. Dom ends up transformed into an Orc or Uruk-hai, I believe, and both (separately) end up at Edoras. Ring any bells? I can't for the life of me remember what it is called or who wrote it, and I don't seem to have it in my bookmarks or LJ Memories.

Thank you!

Well now here's your chance - particularly (but not exclusively) for the Pervy Hobbit Fanciers among us. :)

Nothing makes a group of friends feel more helpless than one of their own being ill. In turn, nothing can pull together a group of friends more than a desire to give that dear friend as much caring and loving as possible. This book is the result of our desire to support our dear friend, lorie945 (a.k.a. Laura Mason), who is gallantly battling ovarian cancer.

Thanks to baranduin for providing the text for this announcement, and to the Three Hobbit Stooges for organizing everything! *hugs them*

It's an impressive list of authors and for a good cause, so go ahead, you know you want one! :D

I think my writing muse is showing a life sign just to make it even more annoying that she still isn't cooperating on anything I've been trying to write for years... *sigh* This will eventually go up on my website too, but I'm too lazy to work on that right now.

He Is Lucky to Have Her

Author: ourdramaqueen
Beta: ismenin, ladysunrope
Pairing: Open to interpretation since no names are named, but it was written as Elijah/Pam and Elijah/Dom (implied), Elijah's POV
Rating: PG
Notes: Brought on by a strange mood and self-inflicted lack of sleep.
Summary: He is lucky to have her. Yet sometimes...



( He is lucky to have her. )

and any others who like Karl/Elijah... I think you'll LOVE

Fallen from Innocence by Ashlyn K. Toliver
The header on top of the page is very much NOT WORKSAFE, so click carefully!

Summary: The Elijah the rest of the cast never knew seduces a rather worldly Kiwi…or is it the other way around?

Can I just say... ahdlfjhaösjdklfhalksdjfgaöoidfnashdf! Elijah so sure of himself and what he wants, and Karl more than willing and able to give it to him... oh yeah baby! *fans self*

1. The sun is back, yay! There's still a weak, somewhat unpleasantly cool wind, but it's suppposed to warm up now. Hopefully for good!

2. Still in love with my tattoo - every so often when it catches my eye, I just have to stroke and admire the lines of filigree text. Am very very glad that I decided to get it! ♥

3. I'm really not so sure if I should thank dutch_eowyn_rec for reccing this particular story, considering the, uh, phase I'm currently in anyway... ;) "Blush" by abundantlyqueer, EW/OB/DM, NC-17, and utterly, scorchingly hot - despite the fact that I'm not into Orlando! *fansselfwhimpermoansquirmfansself*

And did I mention already that my hammock seat is very comfy? For those who've never seen one - this is mine. :)

Sorry for lack of comments/replies to comments - I've been away for a day, and way too knackered to tackle that. Same for my flist - I've scanned it, hope I haven't missed anything important! (Yes I did see the Dom outtakes which patsie posted... *drools*) And in less good news... WTF UNIVERSAL???!!! I'm VERY happy that they finally release AG on DVD, but bloody hell would it have been too much work for Universal to put the episodes into the correct order???!!!


Talking about reading - I know a couple of days ago, when I didn't have time to read, I saw an update of willow_wode's Rites of Passage, and of another series I think, but I can't for the life of me remember which it was! *headdesk* Happy hunting to me... ETA: Found it! It was _dilse! *bookmarks both for reading tomorrow*
