Hello, all.

I am relatively new to Silm writing (I have done LotR for a while). I recently wrote a one chapter, Maglor-centric story that, while it is not completely horrid, is in need of a decent beta. I edited it myself as best I could, but am afraid to continue and risk doing the story harm.

The story is untitled. It was written for Christmas, is set in the Modern era and necessarily AU. I have it posted in my LJ if anyone cares to peek, and if someone, preferably with beta experience, would help me, I'd be much obliged.

Thank you very much!

lovely story

I have come across this message almost by accident and I remembered reading your story soon after it was posted at ff.net. Let me tell you it's anything but horrid. It was so realistic and so painful, so Christmas and yet so Silmarillion. I hope I'm making some sense. I loved it, up to the very end when Maglor finds the strength and the generosity to leave his father's precious heirloom behind. And I think I was most impressed by the way you made his brothers speak in his mind.

I admire the fact that you have taken on the difficult task of writing something concerning Maglor's fate. I can hardly bring myself to think of it and I'm sad every time I try.

Please, write more. I will certainly be reading.

Wow, thank you. I am very glad you enjoyed the story so much! It is good to know that people like it. Thank you very much for your comment. I hope to keep writing Silm stuff, and I do hope you keep reading. Merry (belated) *insert holiday*!
