Have you ever wondered what would happen if the characters in The Silmarillion were smoooooth like they were sippin' a Sex on the Beach on a party barge in the harbor at Alqualondë? The "Yacht Rock Silmarillion" retells The Silmarillion as though the characters all had perms…
"Move farther north," Caranthir says to her a month after the attack, gaze steady on her even as his hands continue briskly gutting fish. "There is plenty of land closer to my fortress, and my people can help protect yours if there is another attack."
Fëanor shrugged, studying the contents of his wine glass. “Something must be done about that house. It will fall down eventually.” “It does not follow that it must be you that tears it down single-handedly. Are you sure you do not want help?” “It’s not as though I…

By definition, fanworks fandom does not draw a lot of boundaries, but community archives and events have taken a strong stance against AI-generated fanworks due to ethical considerations and member input.

I like this one a lot and will add it to my favorites. A good view of what Celegorm must have been busy with back in Valinor! Such a shame sometimes that Feanor had to create the silmarils! ;-D Plus, I personally believe the Feanorians are not all bad... I wonder though if what Celegorm said about "claiming what is his in the end" is prophetic...
PS. Any piece about Tyelkormo brings out the "fancrone-itis" in me. Looking forward to more stuff about my favorite Feanorians (?).
Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback :) Celegorm isn't exactly the best loved character but I find him fascinating, as I do all the Feanorians.
I don't think they are all bad. I think it is a very complex thing that happened to them. It would be wrong to say they had no saving graces. Where would the Silmarillion be without the sons of Feanor?
This is wonderful! You definitely hit the mark in crafting a folkloric tone, tapping into the ancient legends from Northern Europe and the symbol of the king stag. The dialogue between hunter and prey is a fascinating, and the stag's thoughts of regret at the loss of his worthy foe speak to a very old archetype. Very nice!
I love this! The mythic feel to it, the larger-than-life deeds of the heroes: it begs to be told around a fire on a cool night in those very woods. And Lintarin's hope for Celegorm's return at the end was lovely.
P.S.--I think you'll find a lot of fellow Feanatics on this group. ;)
Thanks so much for the reviews! My main goal was to stay true to the character. I always wonder what the sons were like before their journey to ME. Tyelkormo is my favorite of the seven so it such a treat to see people enjoying this :)
Very nicely done. It reminds me of Greek mythology, and Heracles in particular, and it reads like a fairy tale we all loved when we were kids. Great job!
