I'm back!

So I've been through the whole "what on earth do I have an LJ for" thing followed by the "Real Life doesn't leave me time for this" syndrome, and have apparently come out alive with my LJ intact. *g*. So if anyone is still reading, let me say sorry for the prolonged absence (including totally neglecting friends’ journals – sorry again), which will hopefully not be repeated since I now have a Purpose. Two Purposes, as it happens... *g*

I think the main purpose of this LJ will be to indulge my slash fetish (recently discovered and flourishing happily). I'm still, sadly, in the slash closet in Real Life, and not likely to come out, so this will be one place where I can rec and talk about fics that I like, and maybe even post my own stuff. I'm currently the proud author of one complete ficlet, as well as various bits of another (longer) story (some on computer, some scribbled on whatever piece of paper was handy when my muse decided to oblige). Not much of an output, considering that I started the ficlet while my mum was still in hospital - so probably sometime in April. It started life as a couple of sentences scribbled on a used envelope while stuck in a traffic jam while driving to hospital, and eventually evolved into Reprieve. glinda_north and judymoe have read a version of it, and were kind enough to say they liked it. And glinda_north seems to have got stuck with the role of beta to my fic, - luckily, I seem to write very slowly, even when I find the time to write at all. *g*

The other Purpose of my LJ is going to be keeping a record of my progress on the road from the Shire to Minas Tirith – or maybe Rivendell to Minas Tirith. Thanks to fajrdrako for the idea! Having worked out the distances on Entmoot, and having bought myself a pedometer this afternoon, I’m all set to start walking. Just have to look up the distances, which I’ve forgotten. Progress will be slow but the scenery is spectacular, and my chosen timeframe is the reign of King Elessar of the House of Telcontar, so I shouldn’t have too much trouble with marauding orcs or wargs! Watch this space…

And now, to lower the tone to match previous entries, we have a quiz: *g*

To which race of Middle Earth do you belong?

Not totally unexpected, since I chose Faramir as my leader, and my preferred landscape with vistas and waterfalls sounds a lot like Henneth Annun. *pleased grin*
