Perception, by Ysilme

[ysilme]

B2MeM Prompt and Path:“It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright.” (Stephen King) (green path)
Format: Ficlet
Genre: Gen, Gapfiller
Rating: PG
Warnings: N/A
Characters: OC (Annuil)
Pairings: N/A
Creator’s Notes: Some readers of my story The Meaning of Snow asked what had happened to the OC Annuil afterwards. This is a short sequel answering that question. It isn’t necessary to have read the story to understand this, all you need to know is Annuil is a warrior from the Greenwood who had been caught in a rockslide while travelling over the Misty Mountains to Rivendell. Many thanks to Lordhellebore for the beta. All remaining mistakes are my own.
Disclaimer: This is a work of transformative fiction based on JRR Tolkien’s creation, done purely for enjoyment. No infringement is intended and no money is being made.
Summary:
Perception changes through past experience

7 Fanfic Recs About Fingon by amyfortuna

[starbrow.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Prompt and Path: A Favourite Character, Yellow Path
Format: Recs List
Genre: All slash.
Rating: All Explicit.
Warnings: Listed under each individual story.
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros, others
Pairings: Listed under each individual story, but mainly Fingon/Maedhros
Summary: A list of my favourite E-rated stories featuring Fingon. My great love in fanfic is stories about or involving sex that highlight characterisation. In every one of the stories on this list, Fingon is the valiant, loving, bold, brave, and adventurous warrior that canon gives us tantalising hints of. These authors use erotica to draw his character out and show it off, and every single one of these stories is also smoking hot!

Concerning the Shire, Part Two: Education by Dreamflower

[dreamflower]

Continuing my Wild card--

Warnings: n/a
Characters: Hobbits
Pairings: n/a
Creator’s Notes (optional): This essay is basically backstory I have constructed for my version of the Shire, concentrating on a few aspects of Shire society, and some explanation for how I came up with that backstory.
These speculations and conclusions in Part Two are pretty much based on two quotations cited in LotR, and quoted in the body of this section of the essay, so this part is not as well documented as the previous part.
Summary: Tolkien gives us a lot of information about the society of the Shire, but only some of the particulars. Coming up with details is up to the author of the fanfic; here are a few of mine.
