Fic rec/FYI: Making of Samwise, soon to go offline
Just a note for a subgroup of the LOTR fandom...
Those of you who were following Bill the Pony's epic hobbitslash fic "The Making of Samwise," or for anyone who has been interested in following it, be aware that a) it is finished! Yay!, and b) it might not be available much longer. Go to Bill's MoS page and download it soon, for, in her words, "This site will be removed from the web on or shortly after October 9, 2005. Save what you want to keep before that date. Thank you for reading."
It really is a remarkable and lovely piece of work (and long! Some 200,000 words in total), and if you're only going to read one really in-depth pre-quest Frodo/Sam fic, it might as well be this one.
I just wanted to spread the word, since I would have been sad if I found the site had gone offline before I could get the final "ending" (which is basically the beginning of LOTR), and I wouldn't want that to happen to any other readers.
If you're reading this, Cara, good show! I bow to your perseverance and talent. You have a permanent place in hobbitslash legend...an achievement I'm sure you'll put on your business cards. :)
