 |
|
I hope this will be the start of something. I'd like to see another thread like this with a different topic after posts have stopped appearing regularly on this thread.
The first recomendation thread topic: DRAGONS (or other beasts Tolkien wrote of in any of his Middle Earth works).
Please recommend stories that feature a dragon or some other creatute mentioned in one of the Professor's works, particularly if it is beyond orcs, the cave troll, etc... It can be from this site or others - if others, links would be great.
This is an effort to help uncover some of the real jewels hidden in this and other archives for us hungry, can't get enough of Tolkien, fiction fanatics.

I think this sort of thread is a great idea! Just saw it so my only immediate thought was of an author that is on another site (I'll have to think a moment about this site and then I'll post again).
But in the meantime--there is an author named Werecat on Stories of Arda (http://www.storiesofarda.com/author.asp?AuthID=761).
That author has several good orc featured stories. And (off topic, but...) lots of good fics with animals (mostly heroic ones, not evil ones), especially the Cats of Queen Berúthiel. I highly recommend this author. You can leave unsigned reviews at Stories of Arda by just clicking on the Review link at the end of each chapter.
Ok off to think about Dragon stories I've read here. I'm sure I remember one with Smaug in it.

Ditto on Space and both of her lovely Fluffy stories. Very funny stuff.
Here's the link to a very short, but very interesting little viginette by one of the crankiest and most jaded uruek-hai I've ever met.

Also, I tried to find a balrog fic that I had read a long time ago that was so funny I had to stop reading it twice to catch my breath. I couldn't find a link for it anywhere but if you can find it, it's well worth the read. The fic is called:
Elves are so damn flammable!
Again Ya, wonderful idea for a thread!

| I'm not sure if Tolkien intented Ents to be 'beasts' and I rather doubt it. But they are not quite people either. So, I cannot help but mention here one of my favorite stories (which I've been bad and never reviewed, sorry): The Other Day... by Space Weavil. This is a great story and I think its main characters are close enough to being on topic for this thread. |
