About Me
Middle-aged, German, Tolkien lover since I first read the Hobbit at age 10 and LotR soon afterwards, and many times again since then. I've started delving deeper into Tolkien's other works when I came into the online fandom in 2012, with the Silmarillion quickly taking over as my favourite.
I'm mainly writing transformative and fanfic, did some translations from English into German and vice versa in my previous fandom, and also create the occasional podfic and artwort.
Tolkien's elves throughout the ages fascinated me right from the start, but my heart lies in Second and early Third Age, with a soft spot for Elrond and the people close to him.
A note about the images I'm using or have provided for others to use:
I take great care to not violate any copyrigths with my fandom participation, be it with my writing, podficcing, artwork, or activities in communities.
The icons I'm using are either made from own images, images in the public domain, or clearly state the owner and permisson I got.
The banners I made for the use of others or which I'm using myself are all made from my own images and photos, or imagesin the public domain. In the case of photographed people, I have either permission to photograph them, or the person is not recognisable.

The Dragonverse by Ysilme
Spanning the First to Fourth Age, the life of Thranduil Oropherion, King of the Woodelves and Slayer of a Dragon.
My tales mostly follow book canon with smatterings of the Peter Jackson movies, most notably in Thranduil having fought a Dragon in his youth and having the scars to prove it.
The series consists, at the moment, of the two main stories about Thranduil, The Wrath of Dragon Fire and The King of the Forest. The third story, Midwinter in Eryn Galen , centers around a young Aragorn visting Thranduil\'s Halls for the first time, and Legolas.
For obvious reasons, only The Wrath of Dragon Fire has been posted at the SWG; you can find he other stories on the Archive of Our Own.
Reading order:
1. The Wrath of Dragon Fire
2. The Best Night of my Life
3. The King of the Forest
4. Midwinter in Eryn Galen
Publishing order:
1. The Wrath of Dragon fire : late First and early Second Age, Thranduil/Gildor, written for MSV 2014. A tale about Thranduil\'s youth in Beleriand and first love.
2. Midwinter in Eryn Galen : late Third Age, Aragorn/Legolas, written for LotR SeSa 2014. A young Aragorn comes to the Greenwood for the first time to see the home of his friend Legolas, also hoping for another first to happen.
3. The King of the Forest : late Third Age, about two decades earler than Midwinter in Eryn Galen , Thranduil/Celeborn, written for MSV 2015. After the Battle of the Five Armies, Thranduil nearly breaks in dealing with the aftermath of their losses at the battle.
4. The Best Night of my Life: a little ficlet taking place after The Wrath of Dragon Fire, written for the International Day of Slash Tarot Challenge at the Library of Moria.
