Author has written 33 stories for Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion, Harry Potter, Fairy Tales, Batman, and Family Guy. Pen Name: WendWriter Registered Since: 6 Feb 2007 Based: England My Forums: I have two forums, Can We Talk? and The X Box. Can We Talk? is the Conservative playground, where content is suitable for young teens. My regulars range in age from teens to adults in their forties, so there's something for everyone there. We have threads for chat, games, help and advice, discussions, advertising, and praising good stories. We're a friendly bunch, so feel free to jump in and join us. The X Box is the Liberal playground, at which talk of darkfics, slash and contentious issues is welcome. We love a good debate, and respect the needs of the other contributors to express themselves as they see fit. We have threads here for chat, help and advice, praising stories rated T+ and higher, rants and sporking. My Websites: To accompany my story, Family Guy Does LOTR, I've made a Wix flash site. Click here for links to the TV shows, movies and music videos I've referred to therein. I have started a website to archive the best fanfiction on the internet. It's called Archives of Excellence and has stories listed and linked to their usual hosts, although I'm happy to host work for writers whose work is not hosted elsewhere. Some of the writers have also produced artwork using various media, including drawing, painting, photography and video. These have been selected and added to galleries where some of the work is hosted as well as being linked back to DeviantArt or wherever it is being hosted on other sites. My new project, the Golden Quills, has just been set up to honour the best fanfiction writers of any fandom. We are currently taking nominations, which will close on the second Saturday of November. A poll will be set up for each category, and voting will close on the second Saturday of December, when the winners will be announced. Click here for details. If you like to play online games, I have a website called Games Cache, where a variety of games of every kind is listed and linked. Sites that host these games are also linked, to give you the widest possible choice. Click here for details. Have fun! My preferences: I like LOTR/Silmarillion and Harry Potter fics, though I do look at other fandoms from time to time. My particular favourites are canon-based, but my horizons have been broadened by various writers who have produced excellent work. These good people have encouraged me to look beyond my own ideas and see what else is out there. I'm glad I did. There are so many good stories - and when I have tried out the kind of stuff I would usually avoid, I have been pleasantly surprised. The best stories I have found, some of which are from other fandoms, have been added to my C2, "My Favourite Tales," and to my favourite author and stories lists. I must confess I'm not a fan of slash, but then I'm not so keen on liquorice or root beer either. Reviews and reviewing: Constructive criticism for my own work is gratefully accepted. There are several forums on this site that offer beta services, including mine, this one, and this one. I am tolerant of flaming because I can understand why some people do it. I hope that, by providing links to helpful people, I can help to reduce the number of flames that writers sometimes experience because their spelling and grammar need improvement. It's important to note that criticism of all kinds, even flames, can be useful, even if the only thing you're being told is, "Your story sucks." The value of a comment like that is that it tells you that you need to improve. Some people say they have a right to write as they please. Fair dues, but if you're going to adopt such an attitude, please post your stories on your MySpace or other blog website. On this site, there's a review button at the bottom of each page on which your stories are posted. To tell us that we may only express our opinions on your stories if they are favourable is insulting. Few of us will tolerate that, and we will certainly write as we please - in a review! From time to time I will review, and be as fair as possible. I'm often very liberal with genuine, heartfelt praise, but that is for well-written stories that deserve it. They often end up on my C2 or on my favourites list. However, sometimes being fair does not mean being sweet and fluffy. Oh no, sometimes it means being tough and uncompromising. I used to flame, but I don't do it any more. I don't even review very often these days because I am too busy. If you want reviews, there are threads where you can ask for them on both of my forums, but please make sure that stories with content not suitable for reading out in church go in the one in The X Box. It's true I often spork and make fun of other people's stories, but I mean no harm by it. People who over-react to any kind of criticism ought to understand that there are worse things out there than having someone tell you either "You can do better," or "You can't get any worse." If comments like that upset you, go away at once and make friends with someone - quick! Staking your emotional security on receiving comments like "Upd8 s00n!!11eleven!" is most unwise, to say the least. I should point out, however, that people who are genuinely trying to improve and are willing to accept correction will receive all the help I can possibly give them. Let's just say I don't suffer fools gladly. Unfortunately, we are not short of fools. My stories: I usually write in the LOTR/Silmarillion fandoms. I have two recurring Original Characters, Angwë and Artíre. The stories featuring them are in this order: Angwëverse: there are three stories in this series: The Building of Celebdil - Angwë sets out to build a mountain of his own, and Artíre tells both Melkor and the Valar about it. This looks bad because there is a war on... The Turning of Angwë - Angwë, who is in Middle Earth after the War of the Powers that occurred in Artíre's Choice, is told by his brother Sauron that Dwarves are mining in his mountain, Celebdil. He's not happy about it, to say the least... Plague - After the theft of the Silmaril from his iron crown, Morgoth is paranoid and seeking revenge. With Sauron indisposed, he turns to Angwë to make a plague to unleash on Middle-earth. Morgoth is his own worst enemy - and everyone else's. Written for the Archives of Excellence September 2009 Writing Challenge: Worst Enemies. Artíreverse: there are six stories in this series: The Building of Celebdil - Angwë sets out to build a mountain of his own, and Artíre tells both Melkor and the Valar about it. This looks bad because there is a war on... Artíre's Choice - Artíre is induced by Sauron to choose between serving the forces of light and the forces of darkness, when he would rather be neutral. Artíre's Return - Artíre comes out of hiding and finds the world altered beyond all recognition. He is angry with Sauron and seeking revenge. If he could just persuade Melkor that Sauron is not to be trusted... Artíre's Revenge - Artíre makes Sauron pay for forcing him to take sides. Lords and Lordship - Artíre is sent to Rhûn to bring back a rebel for judgment. Sauron's aide Rautanor goes with the Watcher, but will he help or hinder Artíre? The Turning of Angwë - Artíre joins Angwë in chapter 8. My other stories are amplified versions of what happened in the books and films. I use elements of both, and tend to be more lenient with regards to diversions from canon than other Tolkien-lovers, but I can't abide Mary Sues. See the "I'll SUE you" thread in my forum, Can We Talk? for details of my definition of a Sue. Life is a learning curve - I just wish mine was not so steep!! I also have a LiveJournal account, and am a member of deleterius. I spork, therefore I am! My new website, Archives of Excellence, lists and links the best fanfiction writers's stories and artwork.
