About Me

I've been a Tolkien fan since I was a teenager and have been recently been whiling away some sleepless nights reading Tolkien fan fiction on this and other sites, chiefly about Maedhros. However, my copy of the Silmarillion and the rest of my Tolkien collection are sitting in various crates in another country, so apologies for any canon errors... (P.S. I've meanwhile regained access to the Silmarillion, but my apologies remain!)

General Disclaimer: 'All mine, all mine!', shrills the magpie. 'Anything that glitters in this nest I stole my very own self!' (Clarifying footnote to that: Silmarils and other glittering material in the nest have been stolen from a) Tolkien, b) Dawn Felagund, c) ford_of_bruinen, d) Oshun, e) people whose work I admire but whose names I can't remember. I've tried to mention those items for which I can reconstruct a provenance in the endnotes of the individual stories.)

ETA (2013): This bio sort of needs revising as I originally wrote it when I just had started writing Silm fic...

Anyway, here is a link to a Silm fic rec/review post  of mine at the silwritersguild community on LiveJournal, posted in January 2013:

Please consult this instead of my Favorites section on the SWG site, which I am not really maintaining.

ETA (updated 2023):

Some of my non-Silmarillion pieces are currently only archived at AO3. I also used to cross-post to a number of smaller archives that have since been taken down. I have a small SquidgeWorld account, which only contains non-Tolkien fic.

If you are looking for a "Blanket Statement": see the following entry on LiveJournal, which applies to stories posted elsewhere as well: http://hhimring.livejournal.com/24129.html

ETA 2015:

For recs now also see the SWG re-read on LiveJournal: I've added recs to the fanworks posts there for the majority of the chapters of Silmarillion. (ETA 2018: the SWG re-read has since been mirrored to Dreamwidth).

ETA (at the time of the 5th SWG celebration):

Heartfelt thanks to Alasse, Angelica, Lyra, Oshun and Spiced Wine for the Tokens.

Fanworks by Himring

This is a Writing fanworkLooking at the Stars and Counting the Hours by Himring

Falling in love helps Fingon cope with the death of his father, but on a visit to Himring a year later he finds love can't cure everything. Except I couldn't quite leave it at that...

Variation(s) on familiar theme(s). Not only do I not own the characters, I own very little else...

Fingon/Maedhros. Not rated this for incest, as cousins don't usually rate for incest on this site.

Character death only as per canon and also off-stage. Some angst and flashbacks.

This story has been nominated for the MEFAs 2010 by Angelica. Thank you very much!
