The Silmarillion Writers' Guild is more than just an archive--we are a community! If you enjoy a fanwork or enjoy a creator's work, please consider letting them know in a comment.


I love the idea of the library of Cîr Imladris and this is an especially fascinating document and commentary! I appreciate both the uncertainty about the provenance and the archivist's precise observations (until right before the end, that is, when he gets deliberately vague).

[I do hope you don't mind my mentioning it, but you have somehow ended up with one instance of "here" for "hear"]

I love this whole concept so much. The details of the works are so well thought out, and the archival processes (and hiccups) so detailed. The personalities come through so clearly. And there's pathos, and humor, and curiosity. Delightful, every time. 

It's an interesting and cool idea, to write something for a fragmentary idea in the form of fragmentary manuscript pages! I like your explanations for the various confusions. And I'd be fascinated to read the "Beren Strongbow and the Princess of Night" version(s)!

See the eldritch sheen
Seeping
Neath the carven crown

Wow!!  The poem itself but that art and presentation is next level!  And I love the commentary on it, guessing the age based on little clues and questioning translations... <3
