Author has written 23 stories for Lord of the Rings. Mae govannen! I welcome you to the eaves of Mirkwood, the tall trees of Lórien, the homely Imladris, and the many other lands we will not live to see.. Here, we watch enviously as the Ranger and Elves "listening to the rhythmic cackle of the flames, watching them leap and dance entrancingly, feeling the warmth radiate to fill the room, just as their hearts found solace in one another’s presence." Here, we feel the tug on our heartstrings, when we hear the young boy say with a hitherto unknown resolution, “I must eat more so I can grow and be strong and take care of nana and myself.” Here, we hear the soft lullaby in the night: "Sleep now, my child, fear not the dark; Here, we understand how "race does not shape anything beyond the physical. Even Legolas, a prince of the wood-elves, does not let this distinction come between them." And here, we catch a glimpse of the promise of true friendship - the elusive love that few are able to find: "It is a token of what they both share and will share, and one day, the test shall come and they shall prove to be the best of friends.” Fanfiction is a wondrous platform for writers to indulge themselves and learn within a safe world, and to me, the intricate and meticulous history, the diversity of cultures, and simply everything about Middle-Earth make it a most fertile land for Imagination to flourish.. May some aspiring author read and be inspired! Resting in Him, ~Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.~ | |||||
