Possibly revolutionary take:
I don’t think that not looking through the source material is something people should be bragging about when they write fanfiction about said material.
Sure, I totally get it if you can’t get access to the source for any number of reasons. But bragging about it? Dude, you’re just admitting your entire fanfic is based on fanon and fanon is a pale imitation of the original.
If it’s anything like the original at all…
Plato’s cave all over, everyone. Congrats.
You can read the opening of my shortlisted novel Hunt the Hare here! If anyone is thinking of going for Discoveries 2023 when entries open later this month, just do it!
So shocked and unbelievably delighted to be shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction's Discoveries 2022 Award!!!
The thing about lotr is that it spends so much time on describing trees because it’s actually about trees. And it’s also about languages and stories and songs and that’s why the songs are in there
It doesn’t make sense to say that Tolkien should have cut back on describing these things because all of them are part of the fundamental core of what lotr is and what it’s trying to do. It’s—fundamentally—just a poem about trees
