H. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
"You slept with a barmaid?" Gildor inquired, barely able to keep the surprise out of his voice.
"Don't laugh. I will hurt you."
"No laughing, I promise. Just, of all the people to wind up doing that…it's really rather more the twins' style. Or mine. Maybe even Glorfindel."
"Don't be silly, he wouldn't, Gildor. And I wasn't expecting it either. But I was lonely." Erestor sat up, frustrated. "That happens sometimes, you know. Quaint thought and all. You wander the world, but I'm always here these days and you see the state Imladris is in. And she was different. She is part of this world, the new one. Time's moving on nowhere near like it used to. Much faster, like mortals now. This is their Age."
Erestor took a breath then continued more softly. "I was lonely, a touch drunk, and when I woke up the next morning I was happier than I had been in a long while. It wasn't meant to be more than one night. We were both fine with what it was."
Gildor watched Erestor, eyes tracing the line of his back and shoulders. Up was now down, nothing was quite as he imagined it. He sighed and sat up, his back against the headboard. "But Aedan came along."
"I received a letter from her some months after. She was sure he was mine." Erestor said simply. "I brought her here. She didn't have much family, the thought of paying her didn't feel right, and…I wanted to see my child."
"He's gorgeous, truly. He'll probably take after you in all the wrong ways," Gildor offered with a small smile.
Like this because it tells a whole story in a little space, and speaks of a friendship and closeness that goes back a long way. Still one of my favorite stories.
M. If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose?
If my modern times medical soap opera was finished, I'd say that, because it would really work for TV. But, since it's not finished, I'd say Autumn Leaves. It'd probably be in more of a Lifetime movie vein, because Hal's the responsible guy who has family issues and goes off and finds love with Dan in an exotic realm.
(Runner up would actually be The Call, because Hal and Erestor, after the War of the Rings, dealing with loss and change and love would make a nice, bittersweet story.)
