About Me
Mae govannen! I’m Indy.
I first read LotR shortly before the movies came out and liked them well enough, though it took me nearly a year to pick up RotK after I finished TT because I had convinced myself Frodo was going to die. I reread LotR after RotK the movie was released and, from there, moved straight into The Silmarillion, which I fell in love with immediately.
I first became involved in Tolkien fandom– primarily LotR– on fanfiction.net in the 2004 to 2006 timeframe. I slid out of the fandom and didn’t return until the fall of 2008– this time, to the Silmarillion subsection. SWG is my main Tolkien fandom archive and I generally only participate in this fandom on Dreamwidth or in SWG spaces.
I primarily write about Maglor, Elrond, and some of the people related to them. I tend toward genfic and sometimes fics on the darker side of things.
Works based on mine: Fanart, fanmixes, and ficbinding are always welcome. Please ask if you want to translate anything or write fic. Everything else-- including podfic-- is a no.
I am primarily in Star Wars fandom (Prequels and Rebels) at the moment and my non-Tolkien fic can be found on AO3.
