Dwalin: "The plan's not going to work. These furnaces are stone cold."

Balin: "He's right - we've no fire hot enough to set them ablaze."

Thorin (a dwarf who has for two films has impressively pissed off just about every being they've encountered) thinks to himself the Dwarvish equivalent of "Hold my beer. My time has come".

I work hard on my writing. I pour so much of myself, my time, and my love into it. It infuriates me that I’m running out of places to share it, unless I want to monetise on platforms like Patreon and such (which I don’t, really).

Fanfiction has been the only creative outlet I have left if I want to share anything, and even that is becoming difficult to reconcile myself with when I know there are people downloading and feeding that work into these programs too, so they can belt out “their own” fics with minimal effort.

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

As promised, here is the prompt poll for the 2024 event! But first, a word on the basic schedule.

At first, I was planning to have the entire schedule ready to post, but as it is, a tie breaker is needed for the final date of the event week, since two options got the same amount of votes. Because of that, in the third section of the poll there will be a tie breaker question on the matter.

As for the basic schedule, it goes as follows:

Poll voting: December 10th - January 20th

Poll voting - extension period: January 20th - January 30th

Prompts and date release: February 1st

Let me just say this once. I don't believe AI art is fanart. The way things are, it's theft. It doesn't count. The effort that fan artists put into their works cannot be equated in value with whatever an AI generates. The works with hours of applied skill and originality and love put into them are the works I want to praise on this blog.
