Hey everyone!

Head bang FINALLY...after months of blood, sweat and tears, I'm at the beta-reader stage for my latest fanfic.

Title: The Stone of Anor

Time Period: 640 years prior to Fellowship of the Ring

Lead Characters: Legolas, Thranduil, Gandalf, and some various OC

Storyline: The much awaited sequel to Of Legolas and Lisaine
The technical storyline will read:

Legolas must help a cult leader recover an ancient mystical gem before a demon uses it to resurrect Rakal and all his legions.

There's no elvish to translate in this one, nor is there any hardcore sex scenes. (Sorry, I've saved that chapter for my private collection!) There IS some violence (battle scenes) and mild sexual inuendo. (I always have to put at least one very emotional kiss in my stories.)

This fanfic deals mainly with Mirkwood elves, the race of men, and the hidden cult of the Fendowan (Guardians of the Stone). No dwarves or Hobbits in this fanfic. The story is rather long (62,000 words....for those who favor shorter fanfics, or Hobbits and/or Dwarves, this one may not be for you). Lots of action and plot twists.

What I'm looking for is a beta to verify the consistency of the plots and sub-plots, character development and interaction. Grammar and spelling have already been done, although there may be an error here and there that I haven't caught yet.

Anyone out there game? I'm planning on releasing this within a couple of weeks (I apologize for the bad timing in relation to the release of ROTK...I realize everyone who's anyone will be at the theatre instead of reading fanfics, and, of course, the holidays...people will be at the theatre while on travel!)

If you'd like to give it a shot, send me an email.

Thanks in advance. Very Happy Nillaithial

Everyone will be there but me! (Sorry but, no thanks, I know I would suck at beta-reading. You're better off without MY help, which wouldn't be any good.) I don't drive so in order to go I would have to get a ride, plus I was hopeing to have someone to go with, and can't find anyone! Bawl It's so depressing! Not sure if I'll be able to go see it in the movies at all! My own mother wont even give me a ride! Mad Um....sorry about that....just blowing off some steam.. Embarassed Guess my wait to see Return of the King is going to be a 'bit' longer than expected. Bawl
