 Author has written 5 stories for Lord of the Rings, Avengers, Suits, Harry Potter, and James Bond. Hello! I promise I'll finish Between Freedom and Loyalty. Between Freedom and Loyalty was an idea I had for a very long time. There are so many stories out there with a mortal woman from our world winding up with the Fellowship, or perfect elven women loved by all. I wanted a wild heroine with a chip on her shoulder and a difficult time getting along with others. Lainien means "free woman," and I wanted to give her a sense of danger and a reckless freedom, while also grounded by her commitments and loyalties. My story will force her to choose many times between her prized, most cherished freedom, and that of her pride and unrelenting loyalty that she expects from herself. Please send me your comments, suggestions, and critiques, as I know I grow as a writer because of it. Thanks in advance for reading, and I hope to deliver to you all! UPDATE: I have created a second tumblr specifically for my fanfiction followers. I'll post updates and pictures for everyone, along with tidbits from stories that I've cut out. Here's the link -- thingsthatmake--me dot tumblr dot You can find my profile on Archive of our Own under the same username. I have begun the process of transferring this story to AO3, just in case this hellsite ever goes down in flames. |
