Fanwork Notes

Fanwork Information

Summary:

Newest Chapter: 8 - "Promises and Negotiations." This is the story of the events of the Feast of Reuniting. A continuation of my interpretation of the tales of the Noldor in the First Age, focusing principally, but not solely upon Fingon and Maedhros. (See Maitimo and Findekáno and A New Day, which precede this one in the story cycle.) I'd like to thank the writers of the Lizard Council, including IgnobleBard, Elfscribe, Erulisse, Russandol, Hallbera, Lilithlessfair, Surgical Steel, and particularly Pandemonium. Also, want to thank Spiced Wine for her ongoing support of this story.

Thanks to IgnobleBard, Moreth, Pandemonium, Claudio and all the gang at Lizard Council for help and corrections. (The credit for the chapter title goes to IgnobleBard.)

Down by The Water

Many thanks to IgnobleBard for the Beta and, on the Lizard Council, to Moreth for reading and Pandemonium for extremely useful picks.

The Morning After

This is a short chapter. The next one, which is much more political and less personal and romantic, should follow much sooner, since I divided a longer one into two to make this one.

It seems crazy that I posted my first review for this story almost five years ago.

The deer dance is definitely one of my favorite elements of this story, and I love the artwork you have to go with it.

I have to ask, though, is this story over? You have not listed it as complete, so I have wondered, but you have not written for it in a while. It makes me sad. =-(

 

My apologies! It is not finished and I have a couple of thousand words of the next chapter done. And I know exactly when and how it will end. I allowed myself to be distracted by too many other things--my monthly bios here, fic swaps and challenges, and just the particularly aggressive occasional plot bunny. I do intend to get back to it and finish it. (I suppose the resolution to this problem would be to never start anything else until a novel or novella is completely finished or at least to never share until it is finished. But I am very bad at that. Writing is such a lonely business without any feedback at all.)

Thank you so much for posting a comment and letting me know that it does matter whether I finish it or not! Hopefully I can get back into that harness soon!

 

The Pools of Ivrin: I love this beautiful place.  It's one of the best locations for a romantic story, IMO.  And I love the romance in your first chapter, illustrated in the loveliest way by your description of the Deer Dancer and Maglor and Daeron's reaction to it.  Who couldn't fall in love in a place such as this?  I am so much looking forward to continuing reading this story.
