About Me
NOTE: Thanks to the fact that my Dark Muse has me well and truly chained to a demanding but rewarding career (see the following paragraph), I am on hiatus from recreational writing. That does not mean I have abandoned the notion of writing fan fic and continuing the WIPs. They're just resting. I hope to return to my stalled WIPs once I retire, which is imminent.
"pandemonium_213" is yet another of my numerous aliases. I'm a biochemist (Ph.D. and post-doc with the scars to prove it) and now a glorified orc-scribe, a.k.a. regulatory medical writer, who supports the machinations of the Dark Lords of Pharma-dûr. I currently reside in that city on the hill: Tirion-on-Túnafish a.k.a. Boston, Massachusetts.
I am a longtime Tolkien fan, having first read JRRT’s works in the Years of the Lamps, i.e., from 1966 and onward. My non-fiction JRRT related essay may be found on the reference section of the SWG.
The majority of my fannish fictional hackery wallows self-indulgently here on the SWG where Trinity is the foundation of the Pandë!verse. The rest goes downhill from there.
I also fritter away precious time as lucifers-cuvette on tumblr, but I do not post fic there.
A Chronology of the Pandë!verse
Many thanks to Russandol for assembling the chronology. Broken links are now removed.
Some stories that take place outside the chronological framework of The Silmarillion (or only touch upon the legends therein) are archived on Many Paths to Tread. I am in the slow process of archiving stories on An Archive of Our Own. A number of the stories listed in the chronology may also be found on my auxiliary LiveJournal site: Ost-in-Edhil. The LJ fics are in various states of access from public to friends-only to filtered, the latter only because these stories are truly in a state of development. Please feel free to friend Ost-in-Edhil, and I'll hand out keys to the Vaults of the Mírdain. My sincere apologies for any delays.

Risk Assessment by pandemonium_213
Noldorin journeymen and masters of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain discuss the secrets of lembas with a Sindarin apprentice to the Yavannildi/Ivonwin.
This was written as a lark in response to the Lembas SWG challenge, but I suppose it could also address the Secret Knowledge challenge. It was meant primarily for SWG site owner’s entertainment, but since I have already embarrassed myself thoroughly via The Apprentice and other self-indulgent hackery, what the heck…I may as well toss this up here on the SWG.
