I am looking for someone to beta an approximately 15pp Silmarillion fic.

Basically I elaborate on and provide a more detailed account of the following passage from The Silmarillion:

"Therefore Feanor halted and the Noldor debated what course they should now take. But they began to suffer anguish from the cold, and the clinging mists through which no gleam of star could pierce; and many repented of the road and began to murmur, especially those that followed Fingolfin, cursing Feanor, and naming him as the cause of all the woes of the Eldar. But Feanor, knowing all that was said, took counsel with his sons; and two courses only they saw to escape from Araman and come into Endor; by the straits or by ship. But the Helcaraxe they deemed impassible, whereas the ships were too few. Many had been lost upon their long journey, and there remained now not enough to bear across all the great host together; yet none were willing to abide upon the western coast while others were ferried first; already the fear of treachery was awake amongst the Noldor. Therefore it came into the hearts of Feanor and his sons to seize all the ships and depart suddenly [....]. And as though it came at his call, there sprang up a wind from the north-west, and Feanor slipped away secretly with all whom he deemed true to him, and went aboard, and put out to sea, and left Fingolfin in Araman. " (89)

Any help would be appreciated. Smile

I am also looking for a beta for the Silmarillion story I posted here, "Beyond Ice and Fire."

It is a more detailed account of the bit in the Silm where Barahir rescues Finrod and Finrod swears that oath to Barahir and gives him the ring.

If even you can do a chapter, that would help.
