About Me

Mae govannen! I’m Indy.

I first read LotR shortly before the movies came out and liked them well enough, though it took me nearly a year to pick up RotK after I finished TT because I had convinced myself Frodo was going to die. I reread LotR after RotK the movie was released and, from there, moved straight into The Silmarillion, which I fell in love with immediately.

I first became involved in Tolkien fandom– primarily LotR– on fanfiction.net in the 2004 to 2006 timeframe. I slid out of the fandom and didn’t return until the fall of 2008– this time, to the Silmarillion subsection. SWG is my main Tolkien fandom archive and I generally only participate in this fandom on Dreamwidth or in SWG spaces.

I primarily write about Maglor, Elrond, and some of the people related to them. I tend toward genfic and sometimes fics on the darker side of things.

Works based on mine: Fanart, fanmixes, and ficbinding are always welcome. Please ask if you want to translate anything or write fic. Everything else-- including podfic-- is a no.

I am primarily in Star Wars fandom (Prequels and Rebels) at the moment and my non-Tolkien fic can be found on AO3.

This is a Series fanworkTyrant Spells by Independence1776

After an ambush by Morgoth’s army destroys the Fëanorian camp, the survivors seek refuge in the Havens. This is the aftermath, both immediate and later.

This is a dark AU (but not hopeless or grimdark), so the entire series functions under the "Choose Not to Warn" banner because I suspect I'd miss a warning if I attempted to list them all. The first story contains a ton of off-screen character death, on-screen suicide-by-battle, and no good answers. The rest of the series may have references to and graphic descriptions of torture.

This series is complete.
