Hi, all, Our newsletter--including new challenges--is now posted in our LiveJournal community! http://community.livejournal.com/silwritersguild/79781.html Best...
Hi, Dawn, I've been meaning to write to you since the end of last year but it's been quite a rough time - nothing bad really but, as a friend said, too many...
History of Middle-earth, Volume I: The Book of Lost Tales I "The Cottage of Lost Play" Summary ... "The Cottage of Lost Play" was probably written around...
Hi, all, Just a quick note to let you know that HoMe1, "The Music of the Ainur" is next up in the HoMe reading, and a copy is now available on our Yahoo!...
To celebrate the "Back to Middle-earth Month 2007" the writers' workshop "There and Back Again" ( http://community.livejournal.com/there_n_back/ ) presents: ...
Based on the stories you have read/written, what would you say is the most frequent injury sustained by elves in fan fiction and why? Poisoning? Broken bones?...
Ai Ellie, for some, unknown reason Maedhros gets to have cut hand often, I have no idea why. What a pervy authors ;) Sorry for silliness - interesting...
Fascinating--when I received this email, I was at that exact moment dealing with injuries received by Maedhros. I had actually spent a great deal of time...
Hey all, ... I've noticed this too!! It's as though one sick person thought of it, and it just sort of...caught on. Everyone's doing it! I confess to have the...
Hi Ellie, To start, I will definitely agree with you and Sirielle that Maglor does seem to get a heavy dose of heartache. So does Maedhros, though less in the...
I think Tarion is right about the First Age--no need to dream up gratuitous gore and violence. Plenty of it for everyone. Take Fingon, for example: "At last...
It also seems to me that First Age fics - along with having violent encounters readily available - have much more emotion attached to their life situations and...
I think that's true too. A lot of Third Age torture fics seem emotionally detached - some elf/elves, maybe even your favorite elf, is/are being beaten,...
Fascinating question, Ellie! :) Most of my stories are set before the Darkening, yet I still manage to injure my Elves on occasion. In "Another Man's Cage,"...
... Glad to oblige! :) I did a search of The Silmarillion, LotR, The Hobbit, Tolkien's Letters, and the HoMe for the word "scar." (Oh, how digital books make...
Well Dawn, there is an illustration for all these gruesome deaths... http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/tarion_anarore/14081.jpg *grin* All too true... ...
... Ah, I knew it! Actually, I did find it interesting that of the examples, only one of them actually referred specifically to elves! But I agree, if a Vala...
Urgh! Photobucket hates me. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/tarion_anarore/wheelofmisfortune.jpg Sorry guys! My personal favorite is "subject for genetic...
Thanks, Tarion. That's delightful. However, I find "subject for genetic experiment" to be almost more than I can bear--"balrog fodder" is plenty bad enough for...
Hehe, well, I'm a science nerd and find genetics very interesting...*eyes elves* Only kidding! I'm not *that* mean to my elves. ;D ~Tárion ... Food fight?...
For everyone trying to view the link and is having trouble with it: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/tarion_anarore/wheelofmisfortune.jpg For some reason,...
So actually there's no textual reference to Maglor's scarred hand after the Silmaril incident? It is so recurrent in stories that I somehow expected to find it...
I consider myself a Legolas fan (though Finrod has already long stolen the position of "favorite elf")...and as far as I can see, the elf usually suffers...
From: "angelica.ramses" <angelica.ramses@...> ... I remember being surprised at this too, though I think my realization came when summarizing the "Of...
From: Calenlass Greenleaf <eldariel_perdhel@...> ... I'm with you on Finrod. *nods at pen name* ;) And I'm also a sucker for long-suffering Elves: My...
I like seeing my favorite elves in pain...poor Finrod. My weakness is angst, torture, and hut/comfort scenes. I currently am torturing a poor Legolas...I mean,...
... So it doesn't even say what kind of pain. We assume it burned, but it might have been a different pain...It could be that Morgoth was burned because...
