Table of Contents
I meant to be much further along with the story at this point - but somehow things that appear as brief keywords on my plot outline turn into full chapters in the execution. O.ó I am beginning to suspect that this will end up much, much longer than planned.
Plot is finally on track again. Yay.
My goodness! It's an update! And once again the story refuses to behave as planned. Oh well.
Another update! And we are still not moving from the spot. Instead, we're having dinner. Oh well, what can you do?
Holy crap, I can't believe I haven't worked on this story in almost two years! That's disgraceful. Have a new chapter.
Nerdanel is clueless, and I seem to be on a roll. I hope it lasts!
Wow, two years again? And all I have to show is this ridiculously short chapter. Oh well. Let's hope the words will come more easily for the next chapters...
Nerdanel finally finishes her work for Finwë's family. What a relief.
Aaand it's time for Nerdanel's exam to start... not yet.
Nerdanel finally gets to take her exam.
This chapter just kept on getting longer and longer, so I decided to split it.
I really have no excuse for this. It's like the "Twilight" chapter. I'm so sorry. The Elves made me do it.
In which Elves spit out watermelon seeds. They're clearly only human.
