 Can't bear thinking about that! But did they really? Maybe they were all smuggling a Mars bar in their scabbard...

They didn't need chocolate...they had elves  |

What a coincidence, Sindohte and I were just discussing whether or not they had chocolate in ME. (fanfic related, of course.) We concluded that 1) cacao plants grow in warm climates, 2) that would be someplace like Harad, and 3) since Gondor was more or less constantly at war with Harad during the series, that would mean no chocolate.  However, there may have been chocolate available during the Fourth Age.  It would probably have been quite expensive, though.
I'll go take my meds now.

Here's a nice bit of romantic Glorfindel-ness. It's called Unbound, by twopoint.

I'll second this one. Great stuff on a lot of levels. A well-drawn OFC, and romance that is tingly warm but nonetheless very Elvish in character. |

| As I recall, that story is currently awaiting all review decisions from the HA review pool. I was one of the reviewers who voted to accept it, because I just can't get enough good Glorfindel canon het fic. |

Has anyone ever been to the barrowdowns? They have some pretty good fanfiction. I recommend one in particular. It's called "Daughter of Rohan". I can't remember who the author was.
I'll get the address as soon as I can.

A little-known author by the name of Rose Sared has written what I thought was a truly delightful story of the 4th Age, mainly featuring Legolas and Gimli, but Aragorn is there as are Hobbits. Some might consider it AU, but it's well worth a read.
And the poor lass is getting a bit discouraged from lack of response, something most can relate to, eh?

Unbinding the Box
Not slash
Not romance
Has a plot, has good characterization
Original and imaginative with good writing

Truth, but chocolate wasn't nearly as free for the take as chocolate is- it may fatten if you abuse of it, but you may alwasy run a little or something else.
and elves, not content on being exceedingly difficult to get, were also very seldom found.
No chocolate and hardly seen and even more rarely won elves- Not fair at all. |

There's a new story posted here: The Eleventh Hour. Don't read the summary; don't think, "oh, but it's about Numenoreans and I only read elf fic." Just go read it.
Wow |

I've updated my Tolkien recommendations; 20 new recommendations in Lord of the Rings & Silmarillion to be found at: http://www.viragene.com/rec_jrrt.htm
Orlando Bloom fans might like to note that there are also 19 new recommendations in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Enjoy! |

I'm not a chocoholic. I think its just ok.
By the way, you can't crave what you don't even know exists.

I'm thrilled to be among those recommended, but a bit surprised that the recommendation was for "A Silence Covered in Stone," as I don't see it as one of my better pieces. |

I want to draw your attention to Leaward's recently posted "Gathering of the Grey Company" http://www.openscrolls.net/fanfic/story.php?no=1438.
I thought it was really an excellent story and quite an audacious for a debut for a new OSA author.
Check it out!

I recommend "Before I go to Sleep" by Cuthalion.
http://www.openscrolls.net/fanfic/story.php?no=1418
It is a romance between Frodo and an OFC, BUT ... and I emphasize the BUT ... it is not a Mary-Sue-happy-go-lucky piece. The Prologue sets the stage for a Greek tragedy. Think Antigone. The ending is so sad, but so perfect. |
