Sillyfic Meme

[dawn_felagund]

Jenni has asked me to share the sillyfic I wrote spur-of-the-moment in answer to nienna_weeper's request that the next time I tell a spider story, it involve spiders being slain by hott Elves. Okay, I said. Can do.

I had hoped that the story would moulder away unseen in the comments section of that post, but Jenni found it and poked me and here I am.

So--to

Awesome idea to come up with this meme!

Psst! You should have saved it for a SWG challenge!

But nrrrgghh! Now you've inspired me, and I was already writing something else! Gah!

Revenge...sweet revenge.

Ahem. I mean, I'm sorry to have...erm...distracted you. Truly, truly. :^P

It seemed rather small for a challenge. Maybe a workshop once we get that going? :^D

*snicker, snicker*

Aww, this was so cute and funny! I laughed myself silly at every mention of Erestor with his 'sword' in hand. They way you've written him is so... Erestor. And his anger with Glorfindel is so... well... cute. It makes me wanna smooch Erestor really bad.

And the ending... Ha! In comes Fin to save the day and squash the spider. I wonder if Erestor though better of him after that. And, since he would actually join him in the bathroom, did Erestor let clean Glorfindel 'spar' with him?

The idea is great and I'll think about an amusing RL situation to embarrass Feany in. *rubs hands*

He, he... then, perhaps, I should also add Erestor. And that, my dear, has just turned into a plot bunny.

Ooooh... *looks forward to it!*

Which makes me remember that you posted a story that I haven't read yet. And Jenni posted a new chapter too. Well, I have 21 minutes and not enough time to want to embark on the next part of the *ahem* Erestor/Feany story.

(Okay. I will really stop now. :^P)

I think that they probably "sparred." After all, Glorfi rushed home to see him. I think that probably made up for things.

But I don't know Erestor that well yet, so maybe...what do you think? :^D

Isn't that how many people write, anyway? I know I incorporate many everyday stupidities into my stories.

I might try this meme later, though. I enjoyed reading the badfic writing style you used here.

PS. Speaking of spiders... I heartily recommend Maggie's Tolkienian spider-slash "Spiders in the Mist." You'll never look at them the same way again.

[dawn_felagund]

I incorporate more emotional or very general experiences into my stories than actual events. So, for example, I know the feeling of being uncontrollably afraid of something, and I might use that in a story...but I probably wouldn't use the exact example of encountering a large spider in the loo while in an emotionally fragile state.

So this was new for me.

But I suppose that everyone writes differently. :)

The badfic style is really a guilty pleasure for me. I started a satire all done in badfic called "The Election Farce of Nargothrond" with such atrocious metaphors as comparing Finrod's hair to sunbeams, etc. *cringes* But it's such fun all the same! Now that has me thinking that I must try to unearth that and work on it more....

I've had "Spiders in the Mist" recommended to me on several occasions now by different people. I shall have to check it out.

*stuffs fingers in ears and starts singing la-la-la! very loudly*

Not doing this meme, NOT.

I did love yours though. Hee.

[dawn_felagund]

Thank you! :^D

Now working with customers is perfect fodder, I'd think, for a meme like this....

*runs and hides*

[dawn_felagund]

*hugs back*

Yep! As soon as I wrote the comment to you about it, I went and changed it in the story. It's there to stay now. ;)

I gakked a meme and from and wrote a sillyfic because of you today, so you are my inspiration for the day! Thank you! :)
