Mining Gold

Last post about my reading of this year’s FanstRAvaganza. Many times I’m tempted to turn serious on this blog. The few times I have are unsatisfying because I lack skills, but I press on, and one of the things that inspires me to do so is the rich application of Servetus’ skills to her pieces. [...]

Almost Done

My continuation of reading FanstRAvaganza posts. Fanny (aka Iz4blue or Sinjoor) has a wonderful series of conversations with various fan fiction authors. If you like fan fic, are thinking about reading fan fic, have read fan fic and want to read some more or you’re thinking about writing your own fan fic, check out this [...]

Can I Take It All In?

Moving onto the FanstRAvaganza posts for what is known as the anchor or core — bloggers who posted each day of the event. Just to be clear, my intent is not to highlight every post I’ve read. That would defeat the purpose of this exercise, which is to share what struck me enough to make [...]

A Celebration Along the Way!

More perusal of this year’s FanstRAvaganza posts. And now for Phylly, who celebrated her 2nd blogiversary! A 1st anniversary of blogging is special since blogging is not as easy as it looks, and obviously a second one is even more special. Congrats to Phylly on this accomplishment, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer person. [...]

Continuing the Stroll through FanstRAvaganza

More strolling through FanstRAvaganza. E.B. Darcy speculates about Thorin’s role. Interesting speculation on where the movie will end, and I second the advice to “Read the book before you see the movie!” Then E.B tries to get us ready for the marketing of Thorin. I’m especially interested in an audiobook (more on that later). Of [...]

Captured by a Sense of Wonder

Continuing with my foray into the FanstRAvaganza posts for this year. Several fans have talked about Richard Armitage paper dolls. An attempt to recapture our childhoods? I know that’s what it is for me, but Agzy has taken it a step further and created some, which I doubt most kids would possess. LOL! And she’s [...]

Stopping to Admire the Variety

Another post in the ongoing perusal of FanstRAvaganza goodies which I could not get to last week. Now this is a motley group! And all hip in some way. The Queen explores different media for commemorating Tolkien Love, and I’m stunned at what people can do with seemingly mundane items. The only question is could [...]

Continuing to Smell the Flowers

This is a post in the ongoing attempt to savor FanstRAvaganza. I’m reading through posts this week and next and highlighting some of what I find. Cat Winchester has been writing fan fiction for a while now, and she shares the benefit of the experience in “Top Tips for Writing Fan Fiction.” She also has [...]

A Leisurely Stroll Through FanstRA

I didn’t have time last week to read much, so I’m making up for it this week and maybe some next week when I’ll be sharing what I find. Christine at ‘A is for Armitage’ has a hilarious action figure of RA, but it was the history of beards that I found myself reading several [...]

What’s Coming?

This is my last post for FanstRAvaganza 3, and as always, I remind you that I’m part of a larger conversation which is found here. What a week?! Yes, this seems to be a drumbeat in the RA blogsophere. But phew, it’s a great way to express what’s happened, and for those who didn’t make [...]
