I'm Kaylee Arafinwiel, or just Kaylee (or Kaylee Tonks-Lupin, in HP fandom, hence the LJ name, though I've mostly let my HP-ness go).
My passion, in the main, is Elves of all Ages and realms - particularly Doriath and Greenwood, and my favourites are Thranduil, Galadriel, Oropher, Celeborn and Legolas in that order. I am also fond of Gondor and Arnor, Rohan, Dwarven realms and the Shire, though I find Shire-fic and Dwarf-fic especially difficult to write. (By extension, Questfic is incredibly hard.)
It seems, however, that the central character for my B2MEM will be Rushirithir. For those of you who do not know me or my previous fics well, Rushirithir ("Fire-Light" in Valarin, as Fiondil translated) is my name for the Balrog of Moria. The fic where I originally explored his character was first posted on the lotr_community "Outside the Box" challenge for 2010, where it was called "The Life and Times of Rushirithir". I have reposted and slightly edited it on The Lizard Council, where it is simply "Rushirithir". http://lizardcouncil.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=arafinwielsanthology&action=display&thread=2360
Rushirithir, or "Rushy" for short (as my gwathel Sparx nicknamed him), has become one of my favourite characters to write. The first B2MEM 2013 bit about Rushy, "Three Maiar Walk Into A Bar..." is in the comments here: http://b2mem.livejournal.com/200004.html#comments and the second one is posted properly on the group, here. http://b2mem.livejournal.com/201754.html You might have seen them both already.
"Three Maiar Walk Into A Bar..." also vaguely refers back to "Not All Who Wander Are Lost..." my 2010 MEFA third place winner (and very first fic I ever won any kind of award for), here: http://www.lotrgfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=714 though you don't really have to have read it to enjoy it, I think.
Anyway, I love Fiondil's characterisation of the Maiar and Valar, and I have written them into other fics over the few years I've been involved in fandom. So I'm quite happy to play with Rushy for as long as he wants me to. ^_^
...was I just supposed to leave one link? hopefully a number of related links isn't overkill.
Oh yes - before I stop rambling a little tiny bit more about me. I'm nearly 28, American by birth and Anglophile by choice, though I have plenty of the 'old country' blood running through me :P (my grandfather was born in Cheshire in 1910 :) ) someday I want to live in the UK. The Hobbit part 1 is one of my favourite films ever and I have seen it twice. LOTR is my next favourite collectively and I think the Silmarillion/UT should form the basis of a TV series. I'm the only person in my immediate family who is into Tolkien fandom and many of my RL friends have the same sad issue :( I feel very alone until I switch on the computer, so...love you all =)
