This is a Writing fanwork A New Day by oshun

Wonderful, wonderful story!

A New Day is on my personal Top Three. For a story about Kinslayers to enter that list, the writing must be outstanding and the story absolutely riveting. And it is!

Great characterizations and such rich descriptions; it feels as if you're right there with the Noldor. A true delight to read.

 

Fanwork Information

(New: see illustration by Robinka, added as Chapter 12.) This is a sequel to my first tale, (Maitimo and Findekáno), in my cycle of stories recounting the life-long relationship between Fingon and Maedhros. It occurs after the definitive fracture between the Houses of Feanor and Fingolfin and the flight of the Noldor to Middle-earth. Beginning immediately after Fingon’s rescue of Maedhros from the cliffs of Thangorodrim, it tells of how Fingon and Maedhros reunite and together resolve to heal the divisions among the Noldor. (Slash.)

This is a Writing fanwork Awakening by Dawn Felagund

The Awakening: such a strange period, so much to dig into.

This story is fascinating and I really hope it will be continued. The looks into the culture and mindset of the first 144 Elves are just so brilliantly done; these people live!

 

Fanwork Information

This is a Writing fanwork By Stars' Light by Erfan Starled

Beautiful, beautiful writing.

The end made me cry - Finrod, most faithful friend! - but the whole story was a great read. Your exploration of Finrod and the impact that all the horrors and losses had on his psyche is wonderfully done.

Love it!

This is a Writing fanwork Even Quicker Than Doubt by Keiliss

This is one of my favourite stories! What's more, every time I read it, I notice new details.

Perhaps the best part is how Elrond matures from caring for his hapless new friend; an act of kindness he will not regret.

Wonderful characterizations all round, as always.

 

Fanwork Information

Set in the weeks before Elros departs for Númenor, Doubt explores the reason the twins chose different paths, Elrond’s emotional coming of age, the evolving relationship between Gil-galad and Glorfindel, and the reborn Elf’s adjustment to his new life in Second Age Lindon.

This is a Writing fanwork No Traveler Returns by IgnobleBard

Fascinating take on Elven death; also, the characterization of no-nonsense Námo - who somehow manages to comfort the dead elf and give him hope - was very well done!

And I loved the Wood-elf! He was just right.

This is a Writing fanwork Swan Song by Ithilwen

A beautiful, sad story!

Maglor's suffering;  his slow acceptance of the limitations he would have to live with for the rest of his time and accept with grace for the sake of his family; his poor, broken mind; and, almost worst than all of the above, the loss of his music: such a horrible punishment.

The story is wonderfully done and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Fanwork Information

A terribly wounded Maglor finally makes his way back to Valinor, where he finds things have changed greatly during his long absence.  Will he be able to come to terms with his injuries and find new meaning in his life?   Warnings for psychiatric violence and medical squick, dubiously consensual (and somewhat graphic) sex, plus general weirdness.

This is a Writing fanwork Will Overruled By Fate by oshun

Yay! Finally able to comment here. :-)

And let's begin with Will Overruled by Fate, one of my all-time favourites. Haldir and Beleg - who could ask for more?

Well, we also get some wonderful, irreverent descriptions of several high-born Elves as well as of the Blessed Realm; an insightful characterization of a reborn Elf; and a sweet love story ...

 

Fanwork Information

Haldir meets Beleg in Valinor and each comes to terms with his past. Slash. (Warning: Could conceivably be called a LotR/Silmarillion crossover, although it is primarily based upon The Silmarillion.) Written in response to a request by Kenaz for the Ardor in August 2008 fic swap: “ . . . an encounter between an Elf recently released from the Halls of Mandos and an Elf who has recently come to Valinor from Middle-earth. . . . struggling to acclimate themselves to a new place and time, and trying to relate to each other . . . . love to see Haldir meet Beleg.” Betas: Pandemonium, IgnobleBard and Lissa

Feta

Exquisite, original writing. I can't really explain how deep an impression the terrifying Just One Victory left on me, but I know I have to read more from this outstanding writer's hand.

 


Himring

Beautiful writing. Exquisite characterizations.


Keiliss

I am in awe of Keiliss's talent; her ability to bring SIL characters to life are amazing.

Wonderful writer!


Kenaz

Wonderful author!

The first of Kenaz's stories I ever read were the Marchwarden-stories. Absolutely brilliant! And they were her first attempt at writing, I think, though it's hard to believe.

But I don't think Kenaz has ever written a single story that wasn't a delight to read.

That several of those stories feature Wood-elves only adds to my enjoyment of them.


oshun

A wonderful writer and a lovely person.
