[inzilbeth]

Today, while baby-sitting Pae,  [he's beginning to be a bit of a naughty boy with his stitches and is a complete nightmare with the plastic collar that is supposed to stop him doing that]  I caught up with a few things on the computer including  posting a story at fanfiction.net. Not exactly earth shattering news, you might well think, but I can't believe I've actually managed it. The site has always been a complete mystery to me, so much so that I  usually give up on even finding the simple things like 'home' and the few stories I've read there have mostly been recs where I needed do no more than simply follow a link. So it's quite an achievement for me, though whether I would ever manage to figure out how to post a multi-chapter story like  'A of A' , is another matter again.  Also, since I know there are all types of stories on there, the good and the bad as well as the down right eye-popping,  it does feel a bit like venturing deep into the Edhel Duath and wondering what I'm going to run into when I get there! 

 But at least, as of today,  the site is on my favourites list and I no longer have to google to find it.

*applauds you* I always find it quite nerve-racking to try out new websites. *g* Fanfiction.net has been my home since I started writing fanfiction, though, so I tend to feel more comfortable there than anywhere else. If you ever have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them! ;-) Which story did you post?

Oh thanks, Almet, that's really kind of you. I posted the one shot I wrote for Teitho as it was relatively easy and I don't know if I'll bother putting up 'A of A' yet. I guess we all like what we know. SoA was the first fan fic site I found so I still think of that as home.

It is quite easy once you get used to it. :)

SoA always involves bad memories for me - I applied there very early in my fanfic writing 'career' (lol), when I had no real idea what people considered to be canon and what not, and was rejected (twice). I very much felt like giving up writing fanfiction altogether because of it. By now, I think I know pretty well what kind of stories would be suited for the site, but I'm not sure if I'll ever be able pluck up the courage to apply again. ;-) For the moment, I'm very content to just use the site to read other people's stories. *g*

I'm sorry you have that experience and I can understand how off-putting it would be. I hope you have another go as your stories seem perfectly suited to me. *hugs*

Aww, thank you! *hugs back* That really means much to me! :) I hope I'll dare applying again some time in the not-too-far future. ;-)

Btw, I completely forgot to ask how your username is on ff.net. I hope there wasn't another Inzilbeth and you didn't need to add any numbers. ;-)

You're most welcome and I sincerely mean that.

I'm 'Inzilbeth of the Dunedain' over there as there was another Inzilbeth who appears to be primarily a Harry Potter fan. This way we shouldn't get confused!

[silivren-tinu.livejournal.com]

Thanks again! *hugs*

'Inzilbeth of the Dunedain' is perfect for you. :) LOL, it is kind of strange to imagine an Inzilbeth writting Happy Potter stories! *g*

I thought it was an odd choice of name too!
