December Challenge (again)

After my abominable slander of Orodreth yesterday I thought I should write something rather more respectful about him today.

Silly Fic

This ficlet is a cautionary tale of what happens when I try to write a Valinor fic in which the Years of the Trees are actually each 9.582 sun years long. You have been warned.

Elves and Elvishness

One of my original stories contains two races of semi-immortal people, and I really don't want them to be too similar to Tolkien's elves, so I thought a bit about exactly what 'elvish behaviour' means.

Descendents of Finwë Part 17: Aegnor

There is so little in the Silm about Aegnor that I decided to post his piece today as well, for a sons of Finarfin double-bill.

Descendents of Finwë Part 15: Orodreth

As I contemplated writing something about Orodreth, I felt the will to live rapidly draining from me (the same thing happened when I tried to write about Turgon), so with apologies to Orodreth fans, I won't write an introduction for him.

(no subject)

In my post about Fingolfin I wondered why he gave Dor-lómin to Hador, and [livejournal.com profile] ithilwen pointed out that it looked like a plot bunny, so I'm writing some drabbles about it. Here's the first.

Descendents of Finwë Part 10: Fingon

Fingolfin's youngest son, Arakáno, is described as being the most impulsive of the brothers in 'Peoples of Middle-earth', but Fingon sure set him a good example to follow.

Descendents of Finwë Part 9: Fingolfin

Today we leave the House of Fëanor and start on the House of Fingolfin, and I'll begin with Fingolfin himself - such a wise and sensible fellow...

I am a little curious about one thing, though: why did Fingolfin take the lordship of Dor-lómin away from Fingon and give it to a mortal instead? What was so special about Hador?

Descendents of Finwë parts 7 and 8: Amrod and Amras and the Sons of Fëanor

The Silm has so little to say about Amrod and Amras that I'm including the generic 'Sons of Fëanor' section in today's post, which contains all the quotes for the Sons of Fëanor being referred to as a collective and when all their names are mentioned in the same paragraph.

There were a couple of interesting points that the 'Sons of Fëanor' section reminded me of, and I wondered if anyone had any ideas about them:
1) Was Formenos to the east or the west of the Pelóri mountains in Valinor?
2) Why did Turgon vow 'to march never at the side of any son of Fëanor' only after the second Kinslaying?

Descendents of Finwë Part 6: Curufin

Like Celegorm, Curufin is often dismissed as simply evil by Silm fans, and it's a reputation he did try quite hard to earn...

Descendents of Finwë Part 5: Caranthir

In which Caranthir objects to the appearance of Dwarves, gets rich, and acquires some untrustworthy mortals
