Length (if applicable): 1001 words
Rating: General
Warnings: None
Summary: A series for those of you who have always wondered how a people known to argue about things like TH vs. S pronounciation came to be known for gems like “Go not to the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no".
Basically, this is a saga about officious Noldorin lords, their meddling in human affairs and its unexpected results...

SSP, sorry, but it fits so well...

I'd actually recced your story already--but you couldn't see because that comment still needs to be unspammed.

I can delete this...

If you really want to, although I don't think it's at all necessary. But I wouldn't delete, at any rate, before my comment gets unspammed!

Title: Finrod and the kindred of Beor, by Edarlein
Type of Fanwork: Drawing
Rating: General
Warnings: none
Summary: "Now men awoke and listened to Felagund as he harped and sang, and each thought that he was in some fair dream, until he saw that his fellows were awake also beside him; but they did not speak or stir while Felagund still played, because of the beauty of the music and the wonder of the song. [etc.]"

Title: An Intense Dislike of Elves by Himring (SSP)
Type of Fanwork: Story
Length (if applicable): 6385
Rating: Teens
Warnings: Violence--Moderate
Summary: Amlach seems to be the only one of the early Edain who is explicitly said to have entered the service of Maedhros, so he may have been the first of Men to do so and he may have gone to Himring alone. This story imagines the feelings of an Adan who originally opposed the Eldar and now finds himself spending his life among them, all on his own. It also tries to answer the question why he picked Maedhros specifically as his prospective leader and whether Maedhros fulfilled his expectations.
Why I enjoyed it (optional): Quoted by myself in the discussion post for this chapter.

Title: For we heard that there was light, by Calima
Type of Fanwork: Story

Title: Haleth, by steamey
Type of Fanwork: Digital art, painting
Warnings: none
Summary: Caranthir offered to Men his lands to live in protected, but Haleth refused, for now she was chosen a Chieftain, being of great heart and no less in valour than her kinsmen. Next year she led her people to Estolad; and after a time again urged them to move further westward.
