I just now see that I messed up this post, I will come back and fix shortly, have to finish cooking Easter dinner for guests. (I already spent 20 minutes on the formatting below. Sorry! I don't follow directions well.)

Reccing myself again this week:

No warnings (except references to violence off-screen), G-rated to teen at most, genre: drama.

First on the oath of Feanor and its aftermath. Excerpt from "A New Day," on the Oath of Fëanor and the Flight of the Noldor (http://heartofoshun.livejournal.com/660476.html).

then, Ulmo’s Palace, the second chapter of which is about Celebrimbor at Alqualonde and the escape on the stolen Telerin ships. (http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=942).
