helpjapan auction - LOTR elvish script calligraphy
I have a few things I've been meaning to post here, but RL being what it is, I haven't gotten around to it. I've been sick quite a bit since November and pretty stressed, but I might have found a way to get some legal help with the disability process, so hopefully things will get better soon.
At any rate, I did want to put a link here to my thread at the![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif)
help_japan auction.
I am offering: hard copy calligraphy and transcriptions in the elvish tengwar script, from Lord of the Rings. I've been using it for over 15 years, and I promise it is 100% accurate, although the mode I use for English is slightly modified from standard, and I've made one up for Japanese as there is no existing one afaik. (Info on the script is available at Amanyë Tenceli for the curious.) Mainly, it looks pretty, and I can write any text that you would like whether it be lyrics of one of your favourite songs (which is usually what I use it for), poetry, a phrase or proverb that you find meaningful or inspiring, a tattoo design, or anything else that will fit on one page.
( details and examples )
Everyone who bids will get at least one piece, and the higher you bid the more pieces you can request. Highest or winning bidder will also receive a fic of their choice (up to 5000ish words, this is negotiable up to 10k depending on the fic), transcribed on lined paper in either this style or one of these.
Note that these are not translations, merely transcriptions - if anyone is interested in actual translations into one of Tolkien's elvish languages, let me know, and I will put up a separate offer for it - or, if you bid high enough and your text is fairly short, I may throw it in here. ;D
