BATTEL CREY
WE LOVE PRETTY LITTLE HOBBITSESSSS, YES MY PRECIOUS, WE EATS THEM WHOLE
"filislioness - "Savagery and violence are welcomed" YES! GOOD! I didn't know how well received it would be to have lovely, noble Thorin and company gutting and sacking peaceful little towns for iron and gold, murdering little hobbity type people for the hell of it. Now, Elves... what am I to do with the elves ? And Beorn? Any ideas?"

As long as it won’t be a blatant bastardization - I’m all for it) I mean, let him burn villages, sack churches, lay siege to cities or whatever barbarian-thing you can think of but still be noble and worthy of respect where it counts.
As for Elves, weeeeell, how about some European kingdom that was raided by vikings? Britain? France? I vote for France)
And Beorn could be a famous warrior surrounded by legends of his inhuman strength and bestial ferocity but he’s actually a nice fella if you know him close enough)
It’s not really necessary to include every canon character or to follow the plotline, I think, just whatever you feel like writing)
"filislioness - I'm not sure if you got it but I've sent a previous ask about pairings? Personally I was thinking of slow building problematic Bagginshield and perhaps secret and taboo (Fili/Kili). And I was thinking that the Bagginshield would have to deal with repressed sexuality Christian Bilbo. Or I can work in any other pairing you like. However I'm completely fine with completely canon/platonic non slash if thats what you'd want :)"

Nope, tumblr probably ate it, AGAIN.
Well, I don’t ship FiliKili or anyone else except Thilbo, so as long as Thilbo is the main pairing I don’t really care about others, feel free to include any side-pairings if you want to.
As for this - Bagginshield would have to deal with repressed sexuality Christian Bilbo – YES. ABSOLUTELY. DO IT. In this kind of AU they just bound to have a complicated, stressful and conflicted relationship, I mean, different cultures, different religions, possible war conflict between their nations, you know, a lot more sharp edges than in Hobbit-canon. And I’d imagine that Thorin would have a lot less nobility about his actions, being a rough barbarian conqueror. Conqueror, not a liberator.
Well, the darker you can make this story, the better) Savagery and violence are welcomed
"filislioness - Also I've been debating on whether I should make the deities and beliefs true to Vikings (Thor and the rest of them, vs Christianity) or should I keep them more in tune with Tolkien and have it Mahal vs Eru. I've finished college now and I just want to get all these fine details sorted so I can really get started. I've got the first three chapters already lined up and waiting :D"

Congrats on finishing college, dear)
Well, although that context with Mahal vs Eru possible religious conflict is very interesting in itself, I think viking-AU should bend more towards historicity and Norse deities. Just imagine all those awesome pagan rites *_____* And Christian monk Bilbo is something I would really like to read about.
AAAAAWEEEEEEEEE CAN’T WAIT :DDDDD
