Hey all!
I'm looking to write a chaptered fic about Erestor, because, as many have pointed out, we know so little about him. And what we do see of Erestor consists of him being in a submissive/dominant relationship with Elrond or Glorfindel. 
Yes, this will turn out to be a romance fic (I hope the majority of it will not be that) but I am striving to make it as realistic an Elvish romance as possible after reading Scribe's essay on the matter in The Library. I would like for my beta to be knowledgeable of Eregion/Celebrimbor/Annatar/Rings of Power/etc. in the Second Age. Will possibly need a canonically strong person on the War of the Last Alliance. Also need someone who will tell me outright, not by skirting around the issue and trying to make me figure it out myself, if my Elf lords or Elf characteristics of other characters are taking a turn for Sue-ism.
Standard grammar/spelling/word usage beta would also be greatly appreciated.
I have not started writing the story yet, and the chapters will be moderately paced when I get started, but I do not expect to be writing a chapter every day and expect the beta to return it just as promptly. That would be suicide with finishing my thesis and wrangling my child. 
If you are willing to help, reply here, by PM or by my e-mail (mddjacobs@yahoo.com).
Thanks!

Ohhh Phantom, this sounds like a job for Andreth, Goddess of Sil and keeper of all things Annatar. Unfortunately, she hasn't been feeling well but hopefully she'll be back soon, good as new. Give you an idea of how good she is, I have a HUGE crush on Annatar now.
Andreth hugs

Unfortunately my time restraints are preventing me from taking on any more beta work, I'm afraid, else I'd snap up the chance to look at a fic like this. If it would be of use though, I've done a fair bit of research on the Last Alliance for 'Alliance', which I still have notes on, and also at the moment I have tracked down some stuff on the forging of the rings and the War of the Elves and Sauron for my Witch King story, so if you have any research questions or something that I might be able to help with, I'm happy to do that. Just PM me if you wish 
Sorry I can't be more help than that

Hi! I am willing to help if you need it. I am reasonably knoweldgable about the forging of the Rings and have access to the Sil, LOTR, Morgoth's Ring (HOME X) and Unfinished Tales. Know nothing about Elvish so can't help you with writing any Elvish.
Er, exactly what do you need to know? Feel free to contact me if you wish via my email if you are interested.
