I've always been a middling Tolkien fan - it's one of those obvious things when you're a sf/fantasy fan. You see Star Wars, you read P.K. Dick, you read Tolkien. At first Tolkien-based fanfiction gave me a knee-jerk "how dare they??" reaction, rare as it was. Then came the movies, and some of the writers were actually rather good. Then I discovered Silmarillion fanfiction.

And then I developed the elves in my head. I rather long for the days where my muses were quiet and unobtrusive...

Measure of Feeling

Environment: Silmarillion
Fëanor sinking deeper into his madness. Part of my Finwion series, which has merited a LiveJournal of its very own. It's run by Sparky himself, so that's why all the comments are so snooty. Bloody elf...

Environment: Silmarillion/LOTR (Akallabeth to be exact)
A short vignette: someone dared me to write Sauron/Pharazon/Zimraphel. This is what I came up with. Rated PG-13 to R.
