LOTR from an extra's POV

[krait]

I found these fun photos taken by an extra on the LOTR movie set while looking for something totally unrelated!

hilarious

also you have a maedhros icon!

I occasionally have to stop and boggle at how old the LOTR movies are now.

Yes, Maedhros icon for the win! or for the lose, canonically speaking... For some reason I don't have an LOTR-specific icon, so Maedhros has to stand in for the whole greater Tolkien canon. ♥ Are you a Silm fan, too?

They are! And they aren't holding up too badly all things considered. Probably thanks to WETA workshop.

Mh, a friend finally wore down my defenses around the time of the Hobbit movies. It only took her a decade. I do have roundabout 8 unposted WIPs as well...

They really have held up well.

Ha! I know that feeling; I have about 4-5 WIPs of my own... :D

My problem is half of them are done, they just need final edit after beta and then they'd be ready to post. But I can't seem to get myself there for some reason.

That's always my problem, too. Somehow or another I just run out of steam!

I swear there was a comment thread somewhere which I cannot for the LIFE of me find right now where we were talking about Silm fic and in particular one fic I really wanted to recommend but couldn't because it wasn't posted publicly at the time - it now is!: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29336892

Wow, that's great! Thank you!

I do recall that conversation, bit I don't see it anywhere in my journal (I checked through all my Silm-tagged posts) so it might have been in yours, or in a comm somewhere.

I'm going to check it out right now. ♥
