roselightfairyHELP ME I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN
The OCs were meant to be one-off bit-part characters whose only purpose was to fill in the gaps in the characters' lives! Then they were just supposed to be a background cast who showed us that hey, other elves and dwarves exist and occasionally enriched the canon characters' experience!
They were NEVER meant to shove my computer into my hands and yell, "WRITE MY WHOLE LIFE STORY. NOW."
And now I have a two-page outline of these two dorks' entire life story (WHICH SPANS THOUSANDS OF YEARS HELP ME) and two more pages (and counting) of a moment within said story, and no audience for it because who reads Tolkien fanfiction for the OCs??? So this is all for me, in a fun private torment.
SOMEONE SEND HELP.
EDIT: Oh, and sidenote, this is made extra worse because I now find myself needing to know the entire timeline of Greenwood/Mirkwood/Eryn Lasgalen and the two generations of its rulers - AND I NEVER WANTED TO DIVE INTO THE LORE THIS DEEPLY NOOOOOOOO
