![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) sharpest_rose found, while restoring certain websites, " Reimagining Rose: portrayals of Tolkien's Rosie Cotton in twenty-first century fan fiction.(J.R.R. Tolkien" by Amy H. Sturgis. This article, an analysis of the various ways Rosie is depicted in fanfiction (including but thankfully not limited to Rosie-hate), refers to stories by many authors. A partial list includes: Baranduin, Billthepony, Bluesox, Danachan, Hope, Jodancintree, Mary, Nadja Lee, and Telcontar, and the article also discusses the Vampire Hobbits list.

Many moons ago, I swore I would write no more fan fiction and I meant it! I had my finger stuck out and everything. But I'd forgotten I owed lame_pegasus a ficlet. Oops. So here it is!
She loves Pretty Good Year stories featuring Sammie and his mother, the Mistress Rose, so here is a tiny bit of cuteness.
Title - Turning
Rating - G
Warnings - Not betaed. Otherwise, none.
Notes - PGY is sharpest_rose's invention and Sammie belongs to her. And thanks, BC, for all the cheer you bring to all of us.
( For every thing there is a season... )

| I've a hobbit question re. titles. |
[26 Dec 2004|08:04am] |
Is it customary for younger hobbits to be called "master", and for hobbits who are of age to be called "mister"? Ie. Sam would call Frodo "Mister Frodo", but would call toddler Pippin "Master Pippin".
Yes? No? Anyone?

The Site is updated. Feel free to smack me around the head for how long it took. I'm sorry, guys. This has been a rather wacky year for me, offline-wise. That's not an excuse, but the delay wasn't entirely due to the fact I'm slack. Just mostly.
Also, because everyone reading this has probably (quite rightly) either defriended me or taken to scrolling past my entries automatically, I thought I should point out The Stories We Tell, which is a fic I wrote last week. Yes, it's got characters from comics in it, but there's a hobbit as well, and (as I point out in the end notes), DC canon actually set the precedent for such crossovers. So, again, the wacky isn't all my fault.
And I don't say it anywhere near enough, but thanks. Thanks for liking hobbits as much as I do, and for having generous creative minds, and for many hours of fun and games. We've wound down into comfortable quiet for the most part these days, but it's been one heck of a ride. Like a rollercoaster. Except that hobbits would be too short to ride a rollercoaster. So not really like a rollercoaster. Like a metaphor which is like a rollercoaster.

Okay, so I was just looking at the site and I haven't updated since February, which is just downright horrific of me, and I'm so far beyond sorry as to go right around and end up at 'sorry' for a second time.
I'm obviously a complete and total flake, and if I tried to round up all the things I'm supposed to archive I'd be sure to forget something, and did I mention I'm sorry? So here's what's going to happen: anyone who has created something pgy-ish in the last (ohmygodiSUCK) ten months or so, drop a comment on this post. I will then collect, collate, upload, and update. And say sorry a few more times.
I'm sorry. Truly.

I happened to wonder into Cafepress after a long absence, and noticed there were new products available, which led me to update all the stores I have there, and make a couple of new ones. Since most are PGY products, I don't feel too bad about advertising them here.

Hullo all. I've been a Pretty Good Year fan for about 1½ years now, but for some reason never joined this community. But because I'm a big attention whore, I want to share with you this Foursome pic I drew a couple of days ago:
( Merry/Pippin/Dinny/Estella, nudity )
I might be posting PGY-inspired art here every now and then. Byes.

Here's one little ficlet thing... Melly, I REALLY hope you don't mind me posting this, I wanted to do something with it. If you do, I'll just ask them to take it off.

Yay for Melly's birthday story.

Um, guys, I've been so very, very slack in the last few months with site updates. So could everybody drop links in the comments of this post - links to any fiction, icons, or other stuff that needs to be archived? And also I believe that there have been non-pgy rsf things done by a couple of you, which I'd love for 'How Easy' if you could point me in their direction.
Thanks, and apologies for my crapitude.

Oh, I am so joining this community. I'm a religious Pretty Good Year believer (a big Tori fan too, so that works). I've got dolls for Sam's daughters, Meli Took, and Aster also. Yes, it's that bad. I'm fanatically obsessed with LotR in that way where you start speaking random Elvish at people who piss you off. Yes.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. Oh yeah, my name's Shae, and I'm 14. I'll be regularly posting.

I'm supposed to be writing an article, so of course I have instead been making a list of characters that have appeared in PGY stories. You can see it here. It's still under construction; feel free to point out characters I've missed; in fact, please do!
In this folder here you can also find rtf files with all the pgy stories them, which I just made to be able to use the find function to find certain passages or character mentions. I put them up since some of you might find them useful for the same reason.
The PGY family tree is, as always, still under construction. I think the one I have up right now is a rather old one, as it doesn't even mention Frodo-lad's bride Firiel. My recent computer crash probably destroyed the fuller version. I'll fix that one of these days...

Hi all! Our lovely, talented and all around wonderful Miss Mary has brought to my attention the fact that pgy is now two years old. So firstly, congratulations to her, and to us, and to everyone who has read and enjoyed the rustic hobbit threesome! *blows noisy-maker while wearing a silly hat*
Secondly, Miss Mary also suggested that this would be an excellent time to celebrate with a ficlet smackdown. So join in! Write a pgy ficlet, or a pgy-crossover-crack-ficlet (bonus points for you if Singe threatens your/your muse's life) or whatever. Have fun! Celebrate! Make Mary wonder why she ever tells me anything when it all results in more work for her!
I'm of the opinion that the ficlets don't have to be about birthdays, but don't be shy of writing birthday ficlets. Oh, yes, and everyone gets cake and party hats. *runs through the community putting hats on people's heads* Enjoy!

Beware: Unbetaed strangeness lies ahead. Both stories rated PG/PG-13. The first being Frodo-centric and the second being Lily-centric. I have no excused for these two, except that they popped into my head about an hour ago and demanded that they be placed down on paper.
