 Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 10:51 am Post subject: An elven 'coming of age story', really need a beta! |
 |
|
Hey, I am writing fic about an elven 'coming of age', that's set in Mirkwood, however, I could really use a skillful hand with grammar and the knowledge about this area of elvish' coming of age'. I think that they are supposed to meet their life-partner between the ages of 150 to about 300 but I could really use a hand with some expertise in this area.
It focusses upon one elleth and her terror of the opposite sex, it'll be a coming of age story that follows her journey into understanding and basically growing more comfort in herself.
Could anyone help me? I would be SO grateful. Thank you  |

Between 150 and 300?? Elves married young, Fëanor being 50 at that  So I don't think canon backs this up. I currently have a full load of stories to beta, so I have to pass. Good luck!

Well its rare that they would be that old but it does happen. Look at Arwen. I don't have the books handy but didn't Galadriel and Celeborn and Elrond all marry late in life too? I'm writing one now where Elrohir got married and let's be honest - the twins were not spring chickens. I know thats not canon but any stories of the twins marrying after the War of the Ring - they're older than normal. It must run in the family.

Not just for the age thing, but that's one seriously messed up family. |
