This past month was our New Year's Resolution challenge: a chance to complete any of 2017's challenges that you didn't get to, didn't get to finished, or just wanted to try again. Nine fanworks were posted on the archive for this challenge. Check them out and, if you enjoy what you read, please let the author know by leaving them a comment!
Even the Greatest Art Cannot Survive Forever by LadyBrooke. In Doriath, Galadriel and Nimloth discuss the art of the Noldor and the art of the Sindar, and whether Lúthien is the equivalent of Nerdanel. (Challenge: A Woman's Sceptre)
Forgotten Stories Remembered in Other Lands by LadyBrooke. Elmar knows the stories of her people, and that her captor's people will not be free of Númenor forever. (Challenge: Song of Exile)
Fourth Father by eris_of_imladris. One year after arriving in Gil-galad's camp, Elrond learns of the fates of Maedhros and Maglor. (Challenge: New Directions)
Home Is a Second Chance by eris_of_imladris. A young Gondorian guardswoman encounters an elf on a cliff and discovers a way they can both find home again. No romance here, just friendship. Will be writing more soon! (Challenge: Song of Exile)
Into the Woods by Grundy. Angrod, Aegnor, and Artanis have been sent to make contact with their great uncle Elwë. None of them really know what to expect. (Challenge: Strength and Beauty)
Marilliën and the Fall of Doriath by Kaylee Arafinwiel. Marilliën has always been devoted to the Sindar, ever since her beloved kinswoman ensnared their King. But with Melyanna gone, she at least had tried to serve as a protection to Doriath, and to Melyanna's family. The tale of one 'young' Maia OC as she gets caught up in the Second Kinslaying. (Challenge: Behind the Scenes)
Outside of Gondolin Mutual Defence League by Himring. In Gondolin, a fat elf attempts to befriend a sad elf.
At first, things don't look very promising.
But maybe the friendship will turn out deeper and more real for it, in the long run. (Challenge: 30-Day Character Study)
Up in Smoke by eris_of_imladris. Fëanor is the architect of his doom by making the Silmarils for all the wrong reasons. (Challenge: Hero's Journey)
Walking in the Gardens by Raiyana. A Hero's Journey Matryoshka challenge story, featuring the head gardener of Indis' home in Vanyamar. (Challenge: Hero's Journey)
