This is a place to post fan fiction that you've written, and get reviews from people on the board. Smile

Reviewers, please, use constructive criticism.

I'll start - Varna and I just finished on chapter 9 of 'All Fair Things' - a love story with Fingolfin and Anairë. It can be read here:

And if you want two to choose from, I've got one of my own here as well:

My first real attempt at writing a fighting scene - so I go straight to the Kinslaying. Shocked

Here's some stuff that I wrote a long time ago. I write in R. P. G. type things all the time, but I can't seem to get myself back into the groove of writing about my own characters. I've got all kinds of ideas. It's merely that transferring them from my brain for everyone to read is the most boring part. Rolling Eyes

Here's a bunch of profiles, made over many years. I haven't checked in on them in a while, so some should probably be updated a bit. Nevertheless, inform me if you see any horrible mistakes in here. ---> http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?t=17410

Here is a big thread with a bit of my main character's story. After that is a bunch of little stories from the point of views of pieces of armour, merely written for fun. After that is probably my favorite so far, The Warg And His Orc. And after that, you should probably stop reading. Rolling Eyes

That second part of my main character's story isn't as fun. But oh well. They were all written a while ago, so I keep them around to see how much I've learned. ---> http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?t=17571

I shall now start reading your stuff.

Whoops, if double-posting is seen as especially evil around here. I'm sure that my two posts can be merged if it is a large deal. I am merely making this a new post because I have something entirely different to write: reviews.

All Fair Things: First off, when is the next chapter coming out? Is the pace of production fairly consistent? Id est, should I forget about the story for a while to wait for the whole thing? Rolling Eyes

Second off, is this the only format that you have of the story? I clicked the link, read the first chapter, then clicked a link to get to the next chapter. Is there a table of contents someplace? No large deal. Merely wondering. Third off, the love story is not my genre, but I thank you for making this one not too nauseating. Rolling Eyes

It makes me wonder how old these characters are supposed to be, at the time. They seem a bit too self-conscious. But then, I've never been in love. Ick. Also, I would have thought this sort of drama would be played out a bit differently with elves and their creepy powerses. Of course, I have never attempted such a story, so who knows how I'd write it?

Blood And Fire: Woah. I just looked at the date of its being posted here, so I guess that I shouldn't complain about not having much to read. When will we get to the Fire part of the title? It is not so bad, so far. The elves haven't been too obnoxious yet, as elves tend to be. Rolling Eyes

I'm having fun and interested in the personalities involved. Also, I am not a large fan of actiony scenes, myself (almost fell asleep while watching the Battle Of Helm's Deep, was rapt with any scene involving Gollum Rolling Eyes

). I tend to blur over the specifics or cut scenes short via something humorous or unexpected. Not because I find them gross or anything. Just because I am bored by them. Yay for dialogue with interesting characters and great chemistry! Very Happy

The thought occurs to me that you people write more about Valinor than anyone else has ever done!
