I have a sketch of both Dream and Beren in Nargothrond (I need a shorter nickname for this piece), both are possible to do. I am looking forward to more V1-inspired pieces - Feanorians and Melian were more V2-based, and I miss V1 a little.
Meanwhile, here is
Aria music. Will sing it at some point. Had a couple goes at it, but didn't like the results, so will keep trying until something good comes out.
And this means that when Aria and Minions get their final form, we will be half way through the musical!

Serious answer: it's because before doing the Zong I really struggled with translating anything beyond basic vocab, but now I don't see language as a barrier to sharing my newest obsessions with anyone and everyone. ^.^ Besides, doing this gave an outlet for the obsession other than rewatching the video a dozen times over. Watch it if you're interested and don't if you aren't, this was really more for me to spill out the squeee.
Temle: a rock opera in one act (which stubbornly starts in the middle of the video, all the links I get from youtube take it to the middle, even when I ask for the link at current time at 00:01. Sorry.)
The text: includes helpful links, comments, and a couple attempts at verse translation. The prose translation is not updated with some last-minute changes I did while putting in the subtitles, but the gist is the same.
Why to watch:
- If you enjoyed V1, this is more of the same good acting and earnest talent.
- Cute evil!Beren and secretary!Luthien, and more excellent idealism from Finrod.
Why not to watch:
- Early 2000's homemade production. Video/audio quality is comparable to V1.
- Lots of references, the play requires context. Do not watch before you read either the preamble in the doc or "Synopsis and Background' by the authors (linked in the doc).
