Hello! I am starving for fandom communication right now, so forgive me if the number of posts I've made in this group make me appear desperate. I just am. So I thought I would do an introduction of my own!
So, to follow Katajainen's mold:
Roselightfairy (she/her), recent college graduate and nerd disaster, lives in the Pacific Northwest (USA) but studied in Canada. (Ferocious critic of the current US government, I promise.) Grew up in a movie-steeped culture, but 100% a book loyalist (and also harshly critical of the personality-ectomy inflicted on nearly every character in the movies). I read the trilogy in a weekend, two of three books off a computer screen, and came away with one pressing thought: wow, all of these characters are in love. After awhile I narrowed it down to this ship above all, at least as far as my fic preferences go, and have read most of the fics in the tag on Ao3. When I ran out of material to read, I started writing my own.
Main fic tendencies: lots of hurt/comfort, angst, and fluff; a relationship that stays truer to the sappy starry-eyes of the book ("you comfort me. where you go I will go") than the antagonistic banter of the movies. My personal characterization of Legolas is unusual and not everyone's cup of tea, but very dear to my heart, and I've built a world around it that (through a combination of narcissism, inspiration, and desperation for attention) I can't seem to stop adding to. I'm at Ao3 and Tumblr under the same name, should you be at all interested in checking it out.
Anyway, thanks for listening, and please talk to me!
