[mistress-tanwe.livejournal.com]

Timepieces and other Intricate Mechanical Devices. We accept Commissions.  (This is the stall for prompts set in Gondolin, Nargothrond, and other realms of the Noldor in the First Age.)

Comments are now closed but you can continue using the prompts; no claiming is necessary.

How to Post your Prompts:

Leave a comment with the subject line identifying the main characters, gen/het/slash/femslash/poly (if it’s not obvious), a brief description of the prompt, and possible warnings if needed (MPTTor SWG’s). The comment itself should be the prompt.

If for some reason you cannot make a subject line appear, please write and bold the relevant information as the first line of your prompt.

The subject lines and/or bold text will allow participants to easily scan for prompts they're interested in.

For example:

Subject line-- Frodo and Aragorn, gen, hurt/comfort at the Field of Cormallen
Comment-- While Frodo is unconscious after being rescued from Mount Doom, Aragorn cares for him.

OR

Comment-- Fëanor/Nerdanel, wedding night, sexual content

On their wedding night, Fëanor and Nerdanel end up not sleeping at all, as they are too busy enjoying each other.

Remember, no fanworks are to be posted in the prompts posts.

Maedhros and Defensive Architecture

[engarian.livejournal.com]

The elves have left Valinor and arrived in Beleriand, a land of opportunity surrounded by enemies. How did elves who grew up in a land without need for major fortifications know/learn enough to build fortresses strong enough to withstand the forces of Morgoth as well as link to other fortifications, creating a line of defense across the landscape? Did they consult with Sindarin warriors? Did they have an intrinsic understanding of thick walls, arrow slots, draw bridges, portcullis entrances, etc? Was one style duplicated in all of the buildings by each "king" (brother) or was each construction totally distinct. Let your imagination go wild. At least one of the Sons of Feanor should be featured, but it doesn't have to be Maedhros.

*wants*

Maybe I should go try to write something first before purchasing, though.

I hope I've placed a bug in your ear. Defensive architecture through our own history took hundreds of years to evolve and it was very much a give and take between the weapons of the enemy and the need to change the architecture to defend against each new invention. I don't think the sons of Feanor had that kind of time to learn through experimentation and to build and then change and then build again. They had to have had some outside assistance. But from who? I'd love to hear your thoughts through a story - long or short :-)

Take a chance. I think it could be a really good story.

This prompt is a bit problematic for me because trying to fill it risks contradicting what I've already said about the building of Himring in the rest of my Maedhros saga. But I may come up with something, even if isn't quite on the lines of what you were apparently thinking of. Not sure whether I can manage it before the end of March, though!

Buying the prompt anyway now!

Huzzah! I'm sure you'll do a wonderful story, even if it diverges quite a bit from the original prompt. My prompt is only a guideline (and an aspect of curiosity to me).

*hands over farthing*

I think I'm going to need this for my 'Union of Fingon & Maedhros' AU - I've already made a tiny reference to the issues raised here in 'Set Himring Ringing' and it needs further exploration.

Oh yeah! It's only fair that you give back the farthing I gave to you earlier in the month :-)
