I joined the com earlier today, and I'm glad to find a place where Silm fics are written and discussed. This is the first fic I wrote for the 50lyricsfanfic challenge. I claimed "The Silmarillion - Of Turin Turambar", thus signing myself up to write fifty fics about Turin and other characters in his story. I've written twenty-one so for, and I'll probably post all of them here eventually. All of them can be found at The Lyrics Table.

Title: Conflagration
Chapter: n/a (oneshot)
Author: elvenpiratelady
Characters: Nienor, Glaurung
Prompt: 018. you took me in and you drove me out, yeah, you had me hypnotised; lost and found and turned around, by the fire in your eyes
Rating: General
Summary: She had thought the void empty, but the darkness is alight. [Nienor, Glaurung]
Author's Notes: My first try at this sort of thing. Dedicated to b2wm.

I know that not all of you who were lovely enough to make me icons before Christmas asked for something in return. But, I decided to write you all a drabble each anyway. I can’t do pretty icons but I can do drabbles, I think :) They do however get angstier as they go along.

Patricia, I know you gave me an icon before I asked but I thought it only fair that you received a drabble as well. It is Maedhros’ point of view and called Hope

Hope:

( They are sleeping... )

Nienna, your drabble is non-elfy, it is a bit odd and takes place sometime after the end of the War of Wrath.

Snow

( The northern lights... )

Tarion, your drabble is about Elladan’s choice but more melancholy than angsty I hope.

Mortality

( I watch the... )

Agie, this is the best I could do…. Not too angst just…weird… I think (enis claimed it was cute if that counts). It is about cats… sort of…

Cats

( Curled in front... )

Riina, yours is, as requested Thranduil. Starting with his father’s death.

The dead marshes

( It happened fast... )

Jane, for you I wrote the death of Aegnor in a sort of abstract way…

The sharp flame

( The sudden flame... )

Jai, yours is a very dark Maglor drabble which Enis claims is creepy…

A harp

( I was... )

Generally, I do a daily drabble based on the word of the day, leading me to have quite the collection of drabbles and versions thereof. And so here's a new one and some of my old favorites.

There are lots more where those came from, but I'll save them for another time. (Although, if you're masochistic enough, I have all of my daily drabbles tagged here.)

Hello all!

I present you with a double drabble written for dawn_felagund 's birthday! Cross posted with house_of_feanor and my journal, so apologies for redundancy...Wait, I take it back! I'm not sorry! ;)

Title: Our Little Secret

Author: tarion_anarore

Rating: G

Disclaimer: I own nothing, yet, but I've set up a bank account that shall hopefully accumulate enough in interest so that I can buy Feanor from Mandos...surely he doesn't want him anymore after all this time, right? ;) Until then, Tolkien owns the characters...

( Our Little Secret )

Enjoy!

Fëanorians again, surprise, surprise!

Thu, 18 Aug 2005 10:33:00 GMT

Posted by: mirien.livejournal.com

Ouch. These are two drabbles (which I admit I have mixed feelings about, at least when I'm writing them myself!) because they are all I had time for today, (yesterday, now!) I was too lazy to write any of my longer stuff and I needed to write. It got all a bit weird on me though, Maglor appears to be going through a bitter stage! The first is Maedhros after Thangorodrim, the second one sort of answers the 'What would Maglor have done?' challenge at the Silmarillion Writers Guild, or rather, it's Maglor speaking just after Maedhros dies, and so maybe it doesn't.

It's grim and it made me want to kick the pair of them. Hard. What is it with Fëanorians anyway, or is it just mine? Either way, it's so damned angsty it made my teeth ache *mutters*

Warning for a very oblique reference to a M/M relationship.

SEX DRABBLE

Tue, 16 Aug 2005 09:25:00 GMT

Posted by: digdigil.livejournal.com

Yesterday, Marta Layton came up with an idea for a drabble with a sexual theme. Okay, I know everybody out there is working on theirs, and that's why it's so quiet this morning! Anyway, I have NEVER written a drabble before, but I jumped on this one like Feanor on Nerdanel before Maitimo was born, and okay, I know it's lame, but, hey! It's my very first one!!

So here it is. I'm cross-posting it to SWG so you can delete it if you want from there. It's called:

Semi-drabble

Posted by: tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com

Uli asked me to post this here - so I am! One Maedhros drabble, by request!

Conflict

The flames dance in the corner of my eyes, unavoidable, no matter how I try. They dance and taunt me - I should have tried harder to sway my father from this course of action. I failed and now all I can do is stand aside.

Yet who am I to sway my father from anything? Never has he listened to council, going so far as to drive my mother away. I am but the first of seven sons, an heir by virtue of good timing. Or bad, perhaps, for what am I heir to now, but blood and grief?

I understand my father’s quest, his love of that which he created. I understand it and I will aid him as I have sworn. Yet here, now, as I feel the heat on my body and the smell of the White Ships burning I think only ‘we should not have done this’.

The "Ask a Character a Question" Challenge

Mon, 08 Aug 2005 11:32:00 GMT

Posted by: dawn_felagund

In answer to jilba's question for the "Ask a Character a Question" challenge, I wrote three drabbles. The drabbles are from Macalaurë's perspective and answer the following question, proposed by Jillian:

Why didn't you rescue Maedhros; why did the poor chap have to wait for cousin Fingon to go get him?

For those who do not know, drabbles are short pieces of fiction that are *exactly* one hundred words in length. They are my new hobby in an attempt to curb my ~~loquacity~~ ~~rambling~~ lengthiness in writing. Not that I am going to stop writing long stories--I don't think I can--but it is good to be able to change hats every now and again.

Title: Oaths Sworn
Author: dawn_felagund
Rating: General
Warnings: none

( Oaths Sworn )

This is cross-posted to my personal journal as well. Apologies for any redundancy.

Comments are always appreciated. Also, nelyo's post brought up another good question: If Maglor had been placed in Fingon's position as Maedhros' rescuer, what would have he have done?

Drabble: True Silver

Fri, 05 Aug 2005 22:31:00 GMT

Posted by: martal0712.livejournal.com

Title: True Silver

Chapter: not applicable (single drabble)

Author: Marta (melayton@gmail.com)

Rating: G

Warnings: heterosexual relationship (Celeborn/Galadriel) but not sexual

Genre: Romance

Summary: Celeborn's first impressions of Galadriel in Doriath

Author's Introduction: Hey guys. I do not usually write fic set exclusively in the times of the Silmarillion, though that backhistory often plays a part in my stories. So setting a whole story, even a drabble, in the First Age is new territory to me. I'm mainly interested in canonical stories. Is there anything here that contradicts what Tolkien wrote? Also, I'm interested in technical things. How would you improve this piece? (Keep in mind that it's exactly 100 words for a reason.)
