About Me

Russandol has lived under the spell of Middle-earth for many rounds of the sun, from the first time she read The Lord of the Rings. Then, much more recently, she stumbled upon the world of Tolkien fan fiction and realised Arda is even bigger than she thought! As a result, her affliction flared up and became an incurable obsession. In 2009 she finally took her first steps as a Silmfic writer and posted her stories here, at the SWG.

I love knowing what you think of my writing. I'd be thrilled if you would tell me you enjoyed reading them. Thank you!

This is a Writing fanworkChasing Mirages by Russandol

The story of Eönwë, Maia of Manwë, and Mairon Aulendil after the War of Wrath. A tale of darkness, light, love and betrayal over the Ages of Eä.

Tolkien simply told us that [Sauron] fell back into evil, for the bonds that Morgoth had laid upon him were very strong. But this line is unsatisfactory on so many levels that it became a challenge to create a plausible background story for Sauron's fall, from the time Eönwë returns to Aman to face the Valar over his decision to free one of Morgoth's most dreaded minions to Sauron's final fate, long after the destruction of the Ring.
