Snowflake Challenge Day 10
In your own space, write a love letter to Fandom in general, to a particular fandom, to a trope, a relationship, a character, creator, episode, or it could be your fandom friends. Share your love and squee as loud as you want to.
I choose to write my fandom letter to the Tolkiens - JRR Tolkien and Christopher
Dear Christopher and JRR,
You have provided me with a lifetime of enjoyment, of joy and wonder. I never cease to find something new in the world of Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion (and the Hobbit) and it will never cease to interest me. There are not many things that I find I love this much but your works continually bring me joy.
JRR thanks for creating these works and the languages that go with them. It is brilliant and involved and amazing. Every time I read your books, I find something new there. They are so rich and detailed and lovely. Simply beautiful, delightfully complex. Elaborate and meaningful. I have been able to make them my own and use them to fuel my own creativity. I am sure that is not what you intend but it has helped me.
Christopher, thank you for inhabiting your father's world and bring more of it to light. Your life was dedicated to his work and that gave me more of this universe than I would have had otherwise. I appreciate all your have done and your devotion to his ideas. All the books!
I love these works and feel like I inhabit them when I read them and write with your characters. It is such a gift you have given and I don't think I will ever tire of it. The road goes ever on and on...
Yours truly, Me
