*currently mildly screaming because the timing of the Quenya ban in Beleriand is impacting what character names I'm using in my fic*
#ugh the woes of characters having multiple names#I wanted to use (and had started using) Sindarin names for the Fëanorians in Beleriand pre-Maedhros getting captured#but I looked it up and the Quenya ban didn't happen until quite some time after that#so there wouldn't have been a reason for them to use Sindarin names amongst themselves beforehand#which I didn't realize#uuguhhhhh BUT I ALREADY STARTED WRITING THEM THAT WAY#maybe I'll decide to just keep it#it would be easier for me and more ppl would understand/know who the Fëanorians are. plus no one says I HAVE to be canon-accurate#then again it would add angst (for Reasons) if I changed their names to Quenya and kept that canon-accurate#ugh this is so annoying#I'll prolly keep the Sindarin names#and just mention it in the author's notes#fanfic: but for the light in his eyes#writing#tag thoughts#this has been a post#Tolkien fanfiction
