From the Years of the Trees to the Third Age - man, you really are far from home :D That's where the research shines, of course, giving everything that extra texture.

I have about 20k written so far but not posted yet. It's a weird collection - snippets from my 'verses, an AU wip, strange little things that popped their heads up and said 'write me' (I mean - Turgon??) This seems to be what happens when I write for weeks without actually showing anyone *g*. They'll be surfacing on my lj and website when this is over if you'd like to take a look.
