I am CrackinAndProudOfIt
Child of God through faith
Who needs time to reply to her emails, a daily dose of the Inklings, and agreeable muses

Who loves words and languages, the house of Fëanor, and Sherlock


Who sees every crumb on the floor, the forest and the trees, and no point in hurting someone's feelings
Who hates butchered elvish plurals, garden statues, and that horrible sound a vacuum cleaner makes
Who fears unreviewed stories, riding a bike, and being bored
Who dreams of Tolkien characters, water, and living elsewhere
Who has found poems of Arda
Resident of Eä

Say, what would you do
if some Tolkienverse Plushies

My philosophy


My thoughts on AUJ in twenty words:

I loved it. I really did, with the exception of escapades with certain should-be-dead goblins. Bilbo and Thorin: :D


Amazing Tolkien characters include Curufin, Maeglin, Gollum, Thorin, Frodo, Eöl, and Denethor.

Now that the first Hobbit movie is out, I'm somewhat reeling in awe of it-- and already looking forward to The Desolation of Smaug!

Don't hesitate a minute to PM me "just 'cause" or to ask me to check out your story!

Tolkien is my all-time most beloved author/fandom, but...
Other favs are C.S. Lewis, Edgar Allan Poe, the Avengers, Sherlock Holmes (both Conan Doyle's stories and the BBC TV series) and Pirates of the Caribbean

Co-written fics of mine are labeled as such in my "Favourites" list.
Languages I am working to master: Spanish, Arabic
Over-the-top descriptive language is all too common in my writing.
Seriously, I'd love to pray for you! If there's anything on your heart, shoot me a PM or an email.

Third Age, LotR-centric drabbles and vignettes from B2MeM12, feature many genres and characters, from Aragorn toward Caradhras, to Frodo post-Quest, to the tragic past of Denethor, to everything before, behind, and in-between! Very bookverse.

14. Felis reviews
This is really quite the demented little thing, based on Tolkien's account, as found in Unfinished Tales, of Beruthiel, childless queen of Gondor, and Arda's one and only crazy cat lady. Warning: Disturbing themes not wholly the character's fault. Very belatedly-posted B2MeM12 fic!

An uncreative title for my response to AzureSkye23's challenge based on Duilin's fic 'Forty Two.' Disclaimer: Crackers is not a poet. ;P

21. The Yarn Collection » reviews
My responses to Virodeil's "100 Prompts." These drabbles consist of a wide variety of genres and characters, though I've been told they're primarily angsty. ; Finally COMPLETE! Thank you, my encouragers!

22. Thriller » reviews
This is yet another themed vignette series by me. There are nine of these because each one is based off of a line or so that is in italics at the beginning from a song off of Michael Jackson's album Thriller. I own nothing !

24. The Powers That Be » reviews
This is a set of sixteen drabbles one for each Vala plus Morgoth and Eru about the involvement of the Valar in LotR. Their reflections, opinions, and overlooked deeds hopefully put a different spin on the events of the Great Years.

25. Crazy Is reviews
One of the anomalous and "out of character" elves of Rivendell in The Hobbit reflects on her past and her current state. This short little fic is the first story I ever wrote that I consciously knew was fanfic. Review!
Hobbit - Rated: K - English - Drama - Chapters: 1 - Words: 400 - Reviews: 10 - Published: 4-22-11 - Complete
26. Even Grey Birds Sing reviews
This is the first story I've ever posted and it's a bit strange. A very strange pairing... possibly AU, but that depends on the reader's view.
