Many times a day I realize how much my own life is built on the labors of my fellowmen, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.

This series will serve as a home for the stories that I have written for friends and peers between American Thanksgiving and the end of the year 2007.

Every year, I like to write something for the friends and people who have helped me as an author that year. I love writing these stories. As a writer, I look forward to December more than any other time of the year. It is otherwise impossible for me to put into words the joy and gratitude that these people bring into my life every day. The only way I have found is to wile away an afternoon with no thought but crafting a story where they will love each and every word ...

And this series is the fruits of that.

That said, I\'ve asked for requests on LJ, and am always happy to take more. Check out this entry here for more information. Also, all of my stories--including non-Silmarillion pieces--can be read here.

Many, many thanks for another fantastic year.

The main theme of the Non-Canon stories here will be Humor/Parody, bordering on the "Heretic".  Please do not read if you are easily offended by these contents.

All stories will contain much adult language, innuendo, nudity, suggestive/compromising positions, and many embarassing situations for the characters, especially the Fëanorions and Mary Sue.  

A Trilogy about the Silmarils.

Various Silmarillion based drabbles.

Are you crazy enough to write a drabble a day? Join us in our attempt to practice our writing every day (come hell, high water, or writer\'s block made of Fëanorian steel), add your drabbles to this series. Note: Until the series bug can be fixed, please email or PM Dawn Felagund to have your stories added to this series.

Stories written within the same universe and story arc. The featured characters are Fingon and Maedhros but also includes at various points most of the Finweans and their descendants. (Many, but far from all, of these stories include mature themes. Please see individual stories for ratings.)

This series encompasses my stories about the House of Fëanor from their early days in Aman until their demise. All of the stories are set in the same \"verse,\" use the same original characters and conventions, and are intended to be read together. They are kept in the order in which they are best read, so starting at the top and working down will keep you pretty much in sequence. Story content and ratings vary, so please check each story before reading. Other authors who have played with the same ideas as used in my stories are welcome to add to the series. Please email or PM me if you\'d like me to add your story.

Stories of Gondolin. This series began as a response to the Fanfic100 challenge on Livejournal, but 100 stories remains quite an ambitious number! These are very short stories-- ficlets, if you will-- about Gondolin and its denizens. Content runs the gamut from All Ages-rated genfic to explicit slash. Content warnings will be provided for each story.

Time travel stories set in Silmarillion.

insta-drabbles written in response to prompts on SWG Discord!

Self-explanatory. And exploration of characters through telling the story through their eyes.

The Simarillion: Flight of the Noldor is a dramatic retalling in script form of the events detailed in the Silmarillion and the Unfinished Tales. (Part One of Six) These scripts were written ten years ago after i read the earliest works of JRR Tolkien and became enamoured with them. Like most of you out there, I believe them to be the most powerful stories with the most memorable characters in all of Tolkien\'s world.

At the same time, I had seen the flawed but compelling films by Peter Jackson. Having been a fan of his since the Bad Taste days, I was excited but also concerned when he was announced as the director for the films, knowing of his penchant for slapstick comedy in his horror films. As I feared, there was as much to hate as there was to love about the movies. What I did love is the way they were put together, the music, the attention to detail, the action and the cinematogrophy. Lovingly crafted.

These scripts were meant to reflect the atmosphere and presentation of those fims but with greater respect for the source material, which is much more dark and tragic. I really wrote these to help learn my craft. They have sat in cyberspace for a decade. I welcome comments but I am not working on these other than to polish them for this site. I am working on my own original material so I do not have the time for anything other than correcting major mistakes in continuity if any are discovered.

Thanks to all, and I hope you enjoy!

Regards,

a collection of writings on mairon, and how he becomes what he will become.

(a fancy way of saying how i explore headcanon for the gazillion years of mairon\'s life until the end of the world)

I have alluded to the deep friendship between Dísa, a noble Dwarf-woman of the House of Narvi, and Mélamírë, the Second Age elven-smith of Ost-in-Edhil, in previous stories of the Pandë!verse, e.g., Chapter 28 of The Elendilmir and Chapter 4 of The Writhen Pool.  I figured I\'d gather their stories in one place as a series.

So.  OFCs.  Pandë!verse.  Those should be ample warnings.
