Hey Fellowship of the Fics! Please welcome @vtforpedro !! 👏🥳 Lisa decided to share her thoughts and impressions on her fic: on a rainy afternoon.
Question 1: What about this story stands out from other stories with the same trope(s)?
There are tropes within tropes here, but I do find that the overall atmosphere of a rainy spring day, a less angry Thorin who even invites Bilbo to read to him, with only pipe smoke and the scents of Beorn's garden surrounding them, to be particularly peaceful.
Question 2: What was the most emotionally-charged scene to write?
Thorin lets some of his emotions show here, defeat and sadness for how the quest has gone, peril he never wanted anyone to endure, and Bilbo's desire to keep his mind away from those thoughts.
Question 3: Do you have dreams for a sequel/spin-off from this story? If so, what would it be about?
I don't, really! But I do love to imagine that Bilbo keeps reading dwarvish tales to Thorin under the mountain... :)
Question 4: I feel like every writer has an "original intention" for how a story's going to progress. Has this story stuck pretty well to that original intention, and if not how has it veered away?
This was given as a prompt and I immediately had the story in my mind's eye. It stuck pretty close to what I first imagined, which is funny because I either follow prompts perfectly or I go wildly 'off script.' Very fun either way!
Question 5: If there was a Dedication section for this fic, who would you dedicate it to?
angelsallfire and my mom :D
