About Me

I am a long-time fan of Tolkien, and especially of the First Age. Of late, however, I have been mostly involved with the Second Age for writing purposes. Fortunately, Christopher Tolkien edited the texts of both ages in a neat little book called "The Silmarillion".

I'm a lecturer in Greek Philology working at a university. I´ve been into online Tolkien fanfiction since 2002, I´m *not* a native English speaker (which will show especially in my earlier fics) and I´m not the most organised of people (which will show especially in this bio). I started writing a story spanning about 300 years of history of the Second Age in 2007, and I am still on it.
