Thank you, NPF, I'm honored 💗!



"Candlelight flickered across his features and she wondered at all the faces it revealed as the shadows changed. The sharp humor and untamed joy of the elf she had first courted, the jealous lover, the wrathful warrior, the sneering arrogance of Celegorm the King, the mournful, cloying gentleness of a lover that came and went like the flipping of a coin. You used to be one person, she thought."



Could you give tribute to @MEOW for her well-written post in AOA, please? I enjoyed reading her character's thoughts!

As someone who does think I am funny at all, thank you Nessa! That one sure was fun. But I've said it before - @Winddancer deserves much credit and some definite icon buffing for her hilarious piece of this story, too! :smooch:

A very dramatic scene in Spanish where we find out that Fuin is secretly a grandmother but didn't know about it because insert random Spanish soap opera reasons. :tongue: :rofl: But seriously thank you Fuin and NPF! :smooch:

Putting in some final requests for points before my sabbatical, since some people went out of their way to help me finish several things up before I'm off for a while, and also because there's just some awesome people around in general!

First off - can @Gwai get some tribute for running the most recent Cav RPG? She's done a fantastic job, and willingly altered some things about it when I told her I needed to set up an out for Taeth in the Cavalry. Even if Gwai is stepping away from the Plaza too, she deserves some recognition for her hard work. :smooch:

Next up, I'd like to nominate @Lailthoron for some tribute for this particularly moving post of hers - https://lotrfanaticsplaza.com/forum/vie ... 229#p39229?

I also feel that @Fuin Elda deserves some tribute for the absolutely glorious bit of artwork she created for the Plaza Writers group here: https://lotrfanaticsplaza.com/forum/vie ... 261#p39261

And possibly some tribute for @Shivased for setting up the Mettarë Diegolwine?

And also @Nessa Saelind. I spent the last couple weeks RPing with her in the Riddermarket and the depth of characters and worldbuilding is beautiful to read. In particular, I especially enjoyed these posts: https://lotrfanaticsplaza.com/forum/vie ... 342#p40342 and https://lotrfanaticsplaza.com/forum/vie ... 406#p40406

And last but not least, @Androthelm definitely deserves some tribute for his ancient, delightfully awkward elf in the Masquerade. I found these posts of his to be particularly moving: https://lotrfanaticsplaza.com/forum/vie ... 667#p39667, https://lotrfanaticsplaza.com/forum/vie ... 781#p39781, and https://lotrfanaticsplaza.com/forum/vie ... 949#p39949

NPF: All sparklified!

I have yet again come to annoy respectfully ask the NPF for some shiny sprinkles for @Dunulf for this post because the line "I believed Gondor to be sunny" made me laugh (and resonated with me, because as a person who is living in the Mediterranean and struggles not to laugh when people are surprised that it isn't always sunny here :lol: ). Many thanks :smooch:

“Things change, my dears, places that we love are lost, and we must grow in new directions. It can be a boon for flowers to find new places to thrive."

May a gracious admin award the talented @Ercassie :winkkiss: shinies for her wonderfully brilliant Mother Nariel post in Círdan's Court here https://lotrfanaticsplaza.com/forum/vie ... 196#p42196, please? It was a joy for me to read her main Plaza character this way for the first time. It's something that I'll reread often and I hope others are entertained by it as well.

I am a fervent poetry lover indeed, @A Good Wife :nod: ! I'm glad you noticed the Tennyson reference to the Crimson Petal from The Princess in relation to Nariel, symbolized as a red flower :smooch: . Ercassie :winkkiss: appreciated the Tennyson verses as well; we were discussing how lovely the post is days ago.

I want to thank you so much for editing the post for me. Your devotion as an attentive listener matters to me, friend 😘. Thank you for taking the time many a night and through my predawn hours, bearing my incessant 'How does this sound?' messages over and over. Proofreading what I wrote and giving me suggestions of how to make it better until it was finally flawless. It was like refining gold, Nessa. You have a keen eye for stellar writing and you encourage me to strive for more 🤗.

I love the romance of Nariel and Tharmáras 💞. I can't articulate how passionately I care about these characters and how important they are to me. I wanted that post to be beautiful and dreamy not just for myself and the Elven couple but for Cassie, too. She is my closest friend and a wondrous writing collaborator. I am awed by her brilliant creative talent and I cherish the immersive joy of building epic stories with her. Cassie inspires me with her lavish poetic writing and her attention to detail. I wrote a Poem of a post. I revere and admire her dedication; she puts her heart and soul into posts; i wanted to do the same for her. It's the best I've written in a very long time. The hardest I've worked on in recent memory. I couldn't have accomplished this without you. I am grateful 💝.

"Without Arasoron, who was she? It felt as though her fëa had been ripped apart, but unlike Fëanor she had not been granted the peace of a fiery death, only the continuous emptiness and terror of his absence; her twin, her one constant, the other half of her whole. All of the sorrow wouldn’t fit in her chest, it just burned like a heavy cold fire in the pit of her chest, and the constant refrain of how long, how long, how long? droned in the back of her mind, and the answer: forever, eternity, immortality. No rescue. No relief. No revelation, only the yawning void of deathless days of solitude and grinding pain."

No, she can't have a point but @Moriel can have a delectable bowl of chocolate raspberry truffles and some hearty praise :smooch: ! Not only because it's Valentine season, the time of candy-giving and telling your favorite people how much you care about them, but since she wrote a gorgeous heartbreakingly good post here https://lotrfanaticsplaza.com/forum/vie ... 501#p42501 :flail: :clap: :headbang: .

We have a tremendously wonderful history of collaboration and friendship stretching back over a decade. I relish plotting with her and excitedly watching over the years how our epic storytelling takes all these thrilling paths we've never expected to forge.

You are an incredible writer with cinematic vision, Moriel, and I am honored to be your partner in tales. We make dramatic legends together :winkkiss: . I anticipate devising emotionally charged responses to tragical Oblivion. I will be putting my heart into them because I know viscerally you did the same 💝😘.
