Idril and Huor, on top of the highest tower in Gondolin, defy a weather metaphor.

Maglor, mountains, and ruling in Valinor during the First Age.

Lake Mithrim, in five acts. Maglor-centric.

The Havens of Sirion are a home for the refugees of two great slaughters, and the broken find a home by the sea. The queens-in-exile of Gondolin and Doriath meet there, and find something new from what they have lost. (MSV 2014 for Calima.)

Death is only another beginning for Fingon.

Maglor learns something new about his musical instruments from a rather unusual creature.

With all the geological upheavel caused by the War of Wrath, the Blue Mountains are not, perhaps, the safest place to be.

This paper, presented at the Mythmoot III conference in Baltimore, Maryland, on 10 January 2015, considers the history of Tolkien fan fiction, the development of online Tolkien fan fiction communities, and how writers of Tolkien fan fiction use their stories to learn more about the texts and develop analytical and critical approaches toward those texts.

Do not let the title of this story mislead you. This is just as much a Silmarillion story as anything else, or I wouldn't post it here.
An alternate, and not so happy, ending to The Last Battle. This is in my Avenger of Blood universe.

A short poem and among the very first things I've ever written Tolkien-related. It isn't much, but I hope you enjoy it.
Based on the original speculations and in-universe prophecies regarding the Dagor Dagorath, the Battle of All Battles.

And who are these tall, beautiful people who never seem to age? They're not quite wizards, but they sure know lots about magic.

I'm a bit embarrassed by this story now, but I thought I'd share it with you all anyway. I only got three chapters into it, but I don't think I'm likely to update it. It crosses over with Narnia, and follows Omega. You really have to read Omega before starting this one.
NEW: Major revisions being made. This story is meing re-written to make it consistent with Avenger of Blood.

Just a little Elves-in-modern-day story. Elwe, Olwe, and Elmo struggle to survive in a strange, undriendly world. Fortunately, they are not without friends and allies. This is AU, and it is NOT consistent with Omega and Alpha.

This is just a little oneshot that I posted on FFn last Christmas. It follows Omega directly.
