Amazing healing power of fanfic

[sophinisba]

Yesterday afternoon I was feeling a little sad, and somehow even all the gorgeous pics of a certain young man in a bright yellow t-shirt weren't doing much to cheer me up. I considered writing a whiny, cryptic post to elicit virtual hugs from my f-list, but I confined myself to whining a little at claudia603 and then went home and read shirebound's Sing Me Home, and had a good, satisfying cry. I've been feeling much, much better since then.

Yea, Janet! The Lord of the Rings now has a heartbreakingly beautiful happy ending in my mind, and she didn't even have to go AU! How does she do this?! The woman's talent is staggering!

*celebrates*

ETA: The complete story (with fantastic epilogue, Frodo and Sam and Frodo's strong arms) is here.

You sweetie! Sometimes I'm still not sure I really wrote "Sing Me Home" -- it's as if it started to weave its own Music all by itself, and I just frantically typed and tried to keep up. I'm so so so happy it was a healing, happy read for you. I just *had* to give our hobbits a happy ending!

*hugs you very, very much*

Wow, and you're so fast too! Truly I think it takes a special talent to write about joy and bring joy to your readers. Thank you so much!

*hugs*
