Would just like to take this opportunity to pimp the Gandalf Romance challenge, which is currently open. See folks, now that you know readers are interested....
Also really happy to see Veiled Light back up, Andreth. Not just Annatar goodies, but some Cirdan as well. A geeky fangirl fantasy, all in one story. |

I suppose I can doubly pimp this since one entry I helped beta and the other I wrote (or am writing is more accurate). But yes, we need more Gandalf fics.
And it is great to see Veiled Light back on. Shall have to put it back on my recommended page.

Thank you for the encouragement, oh other half of mine, but if me not writing will get more Annatare chapters then I think I might have to stay on strike for a while longer. |
Hey you better be nice to me, my Ereinion chapter might suddenly get held up  And don't make me threaten you with withholding my Annatar in the desert chapter. 
I shall have to delve more deeply into the Tolkien bestiary and see what mayhem I might be able to whip up. Annatare needs some little pets to keep her company in her scary little world.

You know - I am thinking about writing a fic about the Mouth of Sauron. I know! I know! He's a bad dude and all but I think he was just misunderstood. And besides, how could you resist that smile??

Doing just that at present. See 'And in the Darkness Bind Them'.
(How was that for a shameless plug?)
(Although at the moment, MoS is still a wee teeny thing)

See quote above - is a wee teeny thing 
Actually, in the bit I'm about to embark on next, he is going to be, well...

I just found the link to this old thread in an email that I had sent to someone. Now that I have read more stories on this site there are some different things I like.
-Thranduil NOT a perv (originally I wanted him a perv but now, no)
-More drabbles cause they are just so fun.
-More reviews! More ratings!
-Haldir not being loved for being arrogant.
-We have elf stories, men stories, hobbit stories, witch king stories - where are the dwarves, ents, orcs, and troll stories?
-More realistic stories on little known characters. It seems like there are few that are realistic about the lesser known character - Brave warriors do not turn girly all of the sudden. It reminds me of a story on a much lesser site that had elves that purred.  I am not talking one or two purrs by an elleth. I am talking all of the elves purred ALOT. I finally reviewed that story with "cats do not purr as much as these elves". Do you honestly think that Legolas or Haldir could have purred and not got themselves beat up?? Imagine Glorfindel or Elrond purring. 
My point is this, little known characters can be awesome in a story where they are done really well (see Circle of Hands; And in the Darkness Bind Them; Red Dawn, Golden Flower; Rebirth; etc)
Okay - that is all I can think of for now.

It probably sounds very silly but I would like to see some stories about Gil-Galad that don't have him rolling around with Elrond in the sack. Dragon does a nice one called Interlude in Imladris and each new chapter is a joy to read, but I don't think she gets much time to write because the updates are slow.
Another character that fascinates me but I've never seen him mentioned in anything but a peripheral role in fanfics is Eonwe. I guess it must be that 'fear of writing Silmarillion-based fics in case I get it wrong' syndrome. don't ask me why Eonwe fascinates me so much, because I have no idea. There is so little written about him other than he was the Herald of Manwe and led the Valinorean armies in the War of Wrath. Maybe it's a soldier thing!
More Good!Thranduil stories would be nice too. Also more Glorfindel, but I'm not really into the 'hot elves with other male hot elves' thing. Depends on how it's written.
SpaceWeavil satisfies any desire I might have to read about Elrond quite nicely and Zee does a rather wonderful Rohirrim story which is both colourful and intriguing. Her depictions of Theoden and Eomer are exactly how I imagined them to be.

Eonwe has a tiny cameo in my Gandalf romance story. I must admit he's an interesting character to write for, one that I'd enjoy writing again I think (though when I'd have time)...it is only a tiny little part in my story. More Maia stories altogether would be good, and Vala ones.
As for Gil-galad, more SSP - he's got quite a big part in 'Grey Havens' and again I'm enjoying writing him. Other than 'Alliance' where he has a tiny supporting role, I'd never written him before either.

Good! Thranduil - check out Ellisk's stories. Her Interrupted Journeys series are some of the best Thranduil stories I've ever read. For Glorfindel, have to mention it.....Circle of Hands by Ghettoelleth. *sigh* That story is too good for it's own...well it's own good.

Ellisk, Ghetto, Zee, Space, Alassante and anyone else mentioned have wonderful stories (if i forgot you I am soooo soo soo soo soo terribly sorry.)
Zee has a wonderful talent for making me laugh through out her entire chapter/story!
Ellisk...just beautiful!
Ghetto...*sighs* Glorfindel.....*drools*
Space cranks out anything and it's gold!
Alassante--even though i'm technically not supposed to read her stuff she's an amazing writer! |

Thank you, Space Weavil. I appreciate the plug!
As for Gil-galad stories, you don't want to miss Space's "Grey Havens" if you haven't started it. And some of Nilmandra's stories have him in them and so do some of Zimraphel's (I think I'm spelling that right--those authors are on Stories of Arda as is Dragon). But you're right--good canon Gil-galad is hard to find.
At the risk of sounding like I'm plugging Space 'cause she plugged me (and anyone who knows me, knows that I'm not because they know I loved these two stories period) I really do recommend "Once in a Fair Green Country" (the Gandalf romance Space referred to). You will be stunned how it handles canon and weaves a really beautiful tale of Gandalf in the First Age. That might be your only Eonwe mention too.
