Winter's Drums by pandemonium_213, Huinare
Fanwork Notes
Author's Notes: Written in response to the following Back to Middle-earth Month (B2MeM) prompts: Winter Weather (B2MeM 2014) and Thundersnow (B2MeM 2012 – yes, a tad belated).
I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with Huinárë, who has provided two illustrations for this story. Her style is distinctive (reminds me of Brian Froud's work), and the grey tones are eminently suitable for the bleak theme of the story. Many thanks to her for the excellent artwork!
Thanks to Binky, Drummerwench, Elfscribe, Ignoble Bard, KyMahalei, Oshun, Randy O, Russandol, and Scarlet for their input.
Artist's Notes: B2MeM Prompt - Winter Weather. It was a pleasure to be able to read Pandemonium's story before it went live and to natter about it with her during the process of creating these illustrations.

Note: Descriptions of torture and a deteriorating corpse may be too intense for some readers (roughly equivalent to MPAA R-rating or TV Ratings Mature Audience); some expletive language. Pandë!versecentric.
