Book Blurbs – Noldor

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Prompt and Path: minimalist (blue path: artwork)
Format: digital art, with written copy (book reviews under the cut)
Genre: AU, humor
Rating: Gen
Warnings: no warnings apply
Characters: Maglor, Finarfin, Indis, and Finwë
Pairings: none so far
Creator’s Notes (optional): Chapter 4 – Noldor - Tea & Books Tirion’s largest bookseller is unable to meet demand for sensational new novel. Some call it slander, some call it art, and still others claim that under the sensationalism lies a blatantly political bias.
Summary:
These blurbs are written by a reader who is on the mailing lists of far too many publishing companies. Why not use some of the dozens of prompts of yet another annual B2MeM to design covers or ads, write ad copy, review, or draft summaries of books I would not be likely to write?

Warnings: (see below)
Characters: (see below)
Pairings: (see below)
Creator’s Notes (optional): All of these fics had either zero or one top-level comment and fewer than 10 kudos on AO3 before I left mine; I think they’re all good and worth reading. I decided to also choose Silmarillion fics featuring female characters, whether canon or OFCs. Other than that, it’s a pretty random selection.
Summary: A rec list with four underappreciated Silmarillion fics featuring female characters. In alphabetical order by author.
