Silmarillion Writers' Guild

First of all I have a website again! It is hosted by Enis and can be found at http://ford-of-bruinen.fluffydragon.co.uk if you are interested :)


It is also completely up to date save for the This Was My Choice chapters that are still under reediting, the unedited chapters can however be found in my LJ memories for now.



Title: The Bird Princes
Author: Uli/ford_of_bruinen (ford_of_bruinen@yahoo.co.uk )
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: No characters in this belong to me, nor am I making any profit from the writing of this story.
Beta: None as of now.
Archive: LJ, SWG, http://ford-of-bruinen.fluffydragon.co.uk only for now all others please ask.
Feedback: I am open to all feedback both good and bad, if you find linguistic, grammatical or plot errors that you want to point out then please do so, I will be eternally grateful for all feedback given.
Summary: A fairy tale retelling of the story about the Doriath twins.
Author's Note: This story was written as a belated birthday present for Enis. It is one of the hardest stories I have written as I, at least attempted to, break my normal style of writing and do something completely different. The idea was inspired by a qoute from "The War Of The Jewels" in which the birds succoured Elured and Elurin and led them to safety.

( Once upon a time... )

Notes: I am submitting this story for workshop-ing simply to get that part of the group up and running. I am offering one of my own stories because I can take whatever criticism you throw my way and I want everyone to know that and feel comfortable in whatever critique they are offering, I will not take anything as an attack. Look at this piece of workshop-ing as an experimental or learning workshop, somewhere we can all try to see what way we wish to develop this feature and what works for us, silwriters as a group.

I am interested in any and all comments that you are offering on this piece.
I am interested to hear what you think of story flow and word choice.
I am interested in hearing what part of this piece you feel shows a weakness in my writing.

Now for the story itself: I am posting the prologue of a longer, so far unfinished, story however the prologue can be read as a separate stand alone story for those that so wish. Although the main story may contain themes that not all readers are comfortable with this chapter does not hold any such material and is suited for most ages to read. There are also no references to any romatic relationships of any kind.

It is an AU story in some aspects and I would be interested to see which AU aspects you clearly catch in reading it and how you feel about them but the whole concept of the story is built on canon and I draw heavily on canon knowledge for the entire story.

This story has not been beta read as it was first written as a birthday present for my beta, I therefore ask you to keep that in mind while you are reading (but please do not soften anything because of it). It will be beta-ed with the next chapter for those of you that chose to continue reading.

Now, dig in with teeth and claws and have fun ;-)
