[moetushie]

Title: A Madness Most Discreet
Fandom: The Silmarillion
Wordcount: 4175
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros, a cameo appearance by the straight-talking Angrod
Pairing(s): Fingon/Maedhros, but not really.
Warning(s): Wildly uncanonical. Warning for balls, bitching and snobbery.
Disclaimer: Not mine. It's J.R.R. Tolkien's mostly, though there are unattributed
quotes from both William Shakespeare and Jane Austen in there.
Notes: Thank you to the wonderful grey_gazania for the smashing beta job!
Summary: In fair Tirion upon Túna we set our scene, wherein young Fingon learns that if you want something, you must first ask for it.


But wanting, alas, isn't getting.

September Newsletter Posted!

This month's newsletter is a bit delayed with my apologies--between hurricanes and starting back to school, Real Life^tm stood between me and my time to put the pieces together! As always, sincerest thank yous go to Oshun, Angelica, and Rhapsody, who write the content!

The new newsletter is here:

http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/news/september2011.php

In site news, we have some updates on the Season of Writing Dangerously. We continue to seek banner-makers willing to help us create rewards for participants, winners, and cheerleaders for this event. Finally, we left off two of Keiliss's stories from last month's Akallabeth in August list--apologies to Kei! Please go check out her always-incredible work.

Oshun has written this month's biography on Ecthelion, whose popularity with fans belies the few mentions he receives in the text. As one of Tolkien's oldest characters--he appears in the earliest version of The Silmarillion--Oshun dug deep to find all of the information she could on him and create another fine biography for our References section.

As always, we have a list of August's new stories, current challenges, and news from beyond the SWG--including a new Tolkien podcast and a call for betas and artists for a Big Bang challenge, as well as announcements from challenges and contests.
