Hello all out there

I'm looking for a little help on my response to the Gandalf romance challenge, as it's proving a bit pesky. I'm not so concerned about grammar and spelling, but rather the general feel of it, pace, and whether or not it's boring drivel mainly.

I'm sticking fairly closely to the remit of the challenge, ie apart from a prologue and epilogue (at the moment) it's all Gandalf's 'reminiscences', set in Valinor and taking place from Miriel's 'death' to the War of Wrath (but I'm skipping a great deal, so shouldn't be a very long story. I'm guestimating about 7 or 8 chapters or thereabouts.

It is very heavy on canon, however, and that's one thing I'd be keen to get some feedback on. If there was someone out there who knows HoME and the Silm pretty well, that would be great, since I don't usually touch on First Age stuff in my stories and have probably made a few errors.

It is a romance and will involve some NC-17 rated material, as a warning. I've got the first 'proper' chapter written, though I'm not entirely happy with it and want to work into it. I'm also going to rewrite the prologue I have already, but it's really the First Age part of the story I'm concerned about.

So if anyone can help, drop a PM or reply here.

Did somebody say HoME and Silm? *beats Anna off with a stick* If you are looking for a loser who gets all warm and fuzzy reading Christopher Tolkien's footnotes, you know how to get a hold of me
