Reading Week Rec Post by Lyra

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Okay, here's the thing:
Even though there aren't nearly as insanely many fics posted for this year's B2MeM as there were during the Bingo madness, it's still all too likely that I (like everyone else) missed out on some good stuff – either because we lacked time at some point, or because we stuck predominantly to our comfort zone, or for whatever other reasons.
As it's a lot of bother going back through the (150!) entries that have been posted, or even just to click one's way through the title summaries, I figured that a good way of helping others to find things they might have missed are rec posts. That way, it's easier to find the best stuff! Yes, of course such a list is always going to be biased by personal tastes – but hey, at least it can help people to go "Oh yes, I know that XYZ and I have similar tastes, so if s/he liked that, I should check it out." Right? Right!
So I hope this is going only to be the first rec post, and that the rest of you are going to share your favourites in like manner. After all, my list is hardly going to be comprehensive. :D

So here go...
Lyra's Favourites
in vaguely chronological order of content (where possible)

( Based on the Silmarillion )

( Based on The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings )

( Other (Art, Poetry, Nonfiction) )

A big thank you to all of you who wrote such great stories and made this another very special March for me! *hugs*

First time I'm doing one of them Rec posts, so if I've left out any vital information, please bear with me.
[Mods: I hope it's ok that I created a new tag for this year's recommendations; we had one last year so I assumed it was all right.]

Right! Next, please! :D
