FanFiction.Net - unleash your imagination| Pippinfan1988 |
Author has written 38 stories for Lord of the Rings. I have been a LOTR fan since 1988. Pippin has always been my favorite character, and right behind him is Merry. I will be the first to say that I am not a professional writer; I can barely call myself an amateur, however, I love writing about hobbits and it has become quite an addiction. I try to stay within canon, and have made up a few hobbit characters along the way--yet I attribute even them to JRRT because all hobbits belong to his wonderful imagination. I am always looking to improve my skills and appreciate constructively written guidances with the suggestions for improvement. I realize not many people care for the way I've written the "early" Saradoc, but it isn't always this way. I had to take out the other stuff I had written here, realizing I was giving away my stories... :-P If anyone has questions regarding (my?) Saradoc and Merry, please feel free to email me at pippinfan@att.net. I've seen where other authors have indexed their stories in S.R. time-line. One of these days I will do the same so a reader doesn't have to jump around from the early years, forward, and then back again. Should anyone be interested, some of these stories I have cleaned up and have posted on Stories Of Arda. I also have one particular story, The Storyteller, posted at Stories Of Arda, but really can't post it here, as there is not category for the hobbits-at-large. In other words, the story focuses on Paladin, but Paladin is not listed as a main character here. So here's the link if you want to read The Storyteller: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=1675 In my universe, Pippin’s birthday is in April, Merry’s is in July, and Pervinca’s (the sometimes mischief maker) is in November. The more stories I wrote, the more my universe grew, and so there may be some inconsistencies in the earlier stories. I post here and at Stories of Arda; if a story appears at only one of the sites, I have annotated it next to the title. If no site annotation is listed next to a story, then it appears at both sites, though they have been tweaked for grammar or continuity at SOA, as is the case of a couple.
