July 2019:
Ansereg lives! I'm posting an occasional Tolkien fic over at Archive of Our Own. But I'm keeping this site live - it's fandom history, and some readers still prefer it. Also, Tolkien fandom is about to get a New Zealand refresh with the Amazon TV series. What will happen next? Maybe I'll get to be an on-screen hobbit at last...
