I have at last reached the part of the story where it begins to diverge significantly from 'The Silmarillion' !

Today I'm attempting to use the ratings system, and to give proper warnings for this fic. Most of them apply to all the other chapters too.

Title: Blood and Darkness, Part IV

This is the third part of 'Blood and Darkness', my response to

tarion_anarore's challenge. This fic has a rating of 'T' at fanfiction.net, and I think 'General' rather than 'Adult', although Celegorm and Curufin might disagree.

( Blood and Darkness Part III )

This is the second part of 'Blood and Darkness', my response to

tarion_anarore's AU challenge: what if Maedhros was killed by Morgoth instead of Finwë.

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.

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

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?

Uli (

ford_of_bruinen) has given us our first challenge!

"Chose one question you want to ask a character from The Silmarillion.

Post the name of the character in the subject line and the question as the content of the email and submit it to the group.

All writers are challenged to write a response, taking on the character in question and answering it from their point-of-view.

The challenge is to write a character that you may not always chose by your own accord and to bring them to life through the answer they are giving."

As a bit of background, this started (as far as I know) as an LJ meme that

juno_magic posted in her journal. It was adopted from there by numerous other Tolkien writers, including me.

For an idea of the craziness that can ensue, I invite you to check out The "Ask My Characters" Meme posted in my journal.

Non-list members (or list members who wish to do so) may also post their questions in this journal.

Have fun, everyone!
