I'm still wide-eyed and glowing over the art Levade commissioned from Ramie. That is it! That is the scene that was in my head.
But I'm doubly pleased that you hopped over this way and started reading the story. It has been years since I tried my hand at Tolkien and the story is finished in pieces. I'm picking through the scenes now and filling out the plot (or the plot is doing its own work while I sit here and type). Coming back to Tolkien is like coming home.
Trying to shove the story out of the Gondolin vacuum has been painful and educational for me, but that was my actual purpose, so I'm pleased and purring that you noticed and think it works. I'm excited to see what you think about the following chapters.
Another subject entirely, I clicked over to see your info and saw Wraeththu. I must exist in a vacuum because I only read the books last week, but I am irrevocably smitten. Good god, that was a fun journey. I'm waiting for Histories to arrive in the mail so I can lock myself in a room for another weekend.
