My initial thought when I skimmed the comment was that it was you, but when I went to reply, I noticed that it said Aragorn, which somewhat surprised me-- I really don't write a lot of him, although I have done so on occasion. Obviously it's someone else who's read my stuff, but whether it's someone I've spoken to about it or not, i don't know.
I didn't read Silmfic for a long time, but one day I was bored, and well, I blame tehta. I still don't read much of the stuff, but I am moderately obsessed with a handful of characters in it-- and not the usual ones, either. I've found, however, that subsets of Silm-fandom are inhabited by an odd concentration of extremely interesting people, and I don't know why that differs from the more mainstream stuff, but it does. (You find a lot of really interesting Eomer fans, and a lot of boring Maedhros/Fingon fans, so don't get me wrong, but there are a whole bunch of people I've grown to like a lot who could probably, say, draw you a map of Gondolin on a bar napkin. Which is a roundabout way of saying I like the fandom but not in the usual way.)
I do have a good bit of Eomer/Lothiriel in the works, I do. The Silm stuff may come first. (Actually, technically, it's not Silm, it's History of Middle-earth; The Fall of Gondolin is in Lost Tales 2 or so... which is even dorkier, I understand.) But E/L's How We Met story is actually underway in my head, and promises to be more interesting than what I had been working on before.
I am not so bent on comments being signed as I was, as that person has drifted away, but it does make me feel a good deal less foolish. People occasionally ask me why I allow anonymous comments, but if you look at the comments I get, I have like half a dozen regular readers without Livejournal accounts, and they're people like my boyfriend and my college roommate, who I really would rather get comments from... And then, a lot of perfectly interesting people stop by and leave comments randomly, so I'm certainly not about to make ID mandatory. I just like to keep track of people, is all. It's hard to have a conversation when it's randomly one-sided.
Bavaria like Munich! Wow. That is pretty cool. I don't think I've been to Bavaria, although I have been to Frankfurt and Berlin, briefly. I did have a roommate from Bavaria, though, once, but she was a bit crazy and probably not representative, so I suppose we'll leave it at that.
