thanks so much for the ask! gosh, i haven't written for rayllum since before s4 came out so i hope i still have a handle on them lol

ship asks

❥: who is more likely to plan something big for valentine’s day?

callum, all the way. actually, for any holiday honestly. when it comes to rayla and showing her how much he loves her, it's go big or go home!

💟: who spends time reading their zodiac compatibilities?

actually both of them do this. however, callum will look it up and then tell rayla all about it, like "did you know our star signs are really compatible?? just another way we're meant for each other 🥰" rayla will look it up in secret because she wants to seem aloof but will be overjoyed when she reads that their signs are compatible

💛: who believes in soulmates?

again, i think both of them! they had a chance meeting, and then after everything they still kept coming back to each other. i think that's soulmate material, honestly. and so do they <3

TOLKIEN GEN WEEK 2022

DAY ONE: Family ● Mentorships ● Community From the Fëanorians to the Line of Durin to the Tooks, Tolkien’s works are full of families both loving and contentious. Knowledge and skill are passed down both within families and in more formal contexts like mentorships and apprenticeships. Through it all, these relationships exist within the context of a broader community that can support or complicate any family or learning. This is a day to honor how family, mentorships, and community intersect, or how they operate individually.

These prompts are optional, and we are open to any gen content whether or not you stick to our suggestions!

Please tag your posts with #tolkiengenweek AND @ mention this blog @tolkiengenweek so they can be easily found. If your submission turns into a long post, please put what you can beneath a “Keep reading” divider. If you are posting your submission to AO3, you can add it to the event collection here.

Fanfic Ask Game

4. What are some words or phrases you feel like you overuse?

Ohhhhhh my god I just recognized this one recently and it's driving me crazy. In so many of my fics I describe someone's lips "curling" into a smile or a frown or some other expression. Now that I've seen it I can't unsee it, and the phrase now feels like the cringiest thing I've ever written

23 -> Already answered!

AHHHHHHH that’s so cool 🥹 seriously that makes me so happy that my fic was a bit of inspiration for your wonderful art 🫶

Happy new year!

thank you for the ask, and happy new year to you as well <3

🥕 What's one area of your writing that you think needs the most amount of improvement?

i think something i can really work on improving is learning how to actually edit stuff. at the moment my editing just consists of reading for typos and not much else, maybe every now and then restructuring a sentence or two. i'd like to work on more in-depth editing!

💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

i'm excited about all of my WIPs to be honest, but i think at the moment something i'm excited to eventually write is a scene for a yangvik fic i'm working on. the premise of the fic is that it's set about 10 years post-legacy, and yangchen and kavik end up accidentally running into chaisee and kalyaan out and about. what happens next i don't want to spoil, but i am soooooo excited to write about the initial meeting!! i have it all planned out and hopefully it ends up as cool on the page as it is in my head!!
