I haven't done my yearly Tolkien re-read, so we can decide on our own background, as far as I'm concerned. I know some solid details of Aragorn's life pre-Fellowship, but that's all there is textually and it's stuck in the appendices. So I'm delighted to just make stuff up (obviously).
So yes, let's set up a custom to discuss, definitely. And no worries on being sick. I'm chronically ill/disabled and starting an MFA shortly, so believe me, I understand how real life gets in the way of things.
