A shout out to all the writers out there who don’t make the rec lists or have all the buzz or get all the traffic and attention or kudos. Your work is still valuable and appreciated and loved, and without you and your fics, fandom would be so much poorer.

Keep on writing and creating and sharing your works. You have an audience who loves you.

I just have all these feelings about how the love of the elves for the world is their love for the Ainur, the Ainur are the world – the winds, the trees, the flowers and waters and mountains, and that is why the elves are most at peace where the influence of the Ainur is strongest, where the world is most beautiful and perfect and undying.  And the Ainur love the elves for being something not-them, something new and wonderful and precious, for giving meaning and purpose to their work in building the world. And it’s this beautiful symbiotic relationship, where together they are more whole and fulfilled than either could be apart.
