Seven in '07: Sunday 01/07/07

[tarion-anarore.livejournal.com]

For the month of July, the Silmarillion Writers' Guild has decided to honor the House of Fëanor, especially the inspiration these characters provide to the Tolkien fan community. A few weeks ago, we asked authors and artists to share with us their favorite creative works about the Fëanorians, and they answered our challenge. We received over one hundred submissions from more than two dozen writers and artists, everything from poetry to tapestries, drabbles to digital paintings. We have since been compiling these to provide a fan-illustrated history of each character from the House of Fëanor.

For each day during the first week of July, we will unveil a new character. Alongside a brief biography and discussion of that character, we present the words and images fans have created to illustrate the character's history and impact on the world of Middle-earth.

Today's character is Maedhros. The eldest son of Fëanor, few Silmarillion characters command the hearts of fans the way that Maedhros does. One of the chief architects of unity and peace among the Noldor, he was nonetheless haunted by an oath that constantly turned his greatest deeds to grievous ends: great beauty marred by evil, allegiance thwarted by treachery, and a hero turned kinslayer in the pursuit of the impossible.

We hope that you enjoy the works presented as part of Seven in '07. Other events centered on the House of Fëanor will follow throughout the month of July, so stay tuned! And of course, if you feel so inspired, please feel free to share your creativity on SWG!

May the muses smile upon you,
SWG Moderators

Maedhros Rising

It's all Tarion's fault, really, since she threw the plotrabbit at me. As well as the muse. Because of that, I gave it back for her to beta. It's only fair, after all. ;-) That said, this little bit of story is all smut. And since my muse is very romantic-minded, there is also a happy ending. I don't think it would be a proper Isil-story if it didn't have a happy ending. ;-) Anyhow... Enjoy!

Tarion Anarore also provided the summary (cuz I suck at summaries).
I also thank Rhapsody and Juno for reading and enjoying the smut. Well, Tarion loved it too, if we're going to be specific.
Some of you might notice that Maedhros has both his hands. Being as this was set way before Dad and the Magnificent Seven haul off after the shineys, Maedhros was still quite intact.

And his lady would certainly agree with the 'intact' part of that assessment.

Title: Maedhros Rising
Author: Isil Elensar
Beta: Tarion Anarore
Characters: Maedhros, unnamed OFC
Genre: PWP/Romance
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: explicit sex
Disclaimer: Maedhros and all locations are the property of Tolkien and the Tolkien Estate. I just borrowed them for this wee bit of smutty goodness.

Summary: There's more than one way to interpret 'tall', and Maedhros wasn't called the Tall for nothing...

(I gave in to the smut-muse tonight...)
