Bad news

[tehta]

1. I have been crazy-busy recently, both with work and with personal stuff, and so have not had much time to write.
2. I am about to go on a nine-day Easter vacation (to the Philippines!) so who knows what the writing/posting situation will be in my near future. (I do hope I will be able to put together something else for b2mem, since my original goal was to do four small things, and I have done three. But all I will have is a small tablet and I don't like typing on it.)
3. I am no longer sure whether second-age Glorfindel is worth writing about. He's just too damn perfect. (Power close to that of a Maya? Really?) I need to figure out his "motivation" -- things he would desire and/or fear enough to drive a story -- and I don't think it can be anything very personal. Thing is, my reborn G seems to view Elven death as an inconvenience, so that's not a real threat. I suppose his smug insouciance could cause conflict with others, in itself, and he could learn to really care about Middle-earth... (Second-age Ecthelion might be better, because my E could create internal drama during a beach vacation. But still -- too damn shiny and perfect.)

True enough. (And if you want to be really mean, his late-night visit to Erestor's quarters in that short story of yours can cause additional rumours that he must be some sort of dissolute libertine on top of being untrustworthy, because the cleaners have long since discovered Erestor's "secret" stash of ancient documents, fake Vanyarin scroll included, so everyone knows what must have been going on behind closed doors that night, and that without any sort of permanent relationship developing. Shocking!).
