In the Elves and sex thread, I mentioned that Tolkien wrote this Middle Earth stuff as if it were history, rather than fantasy fiction. Well, everyone knows that history books don't tell the whole story, or even the true story. I've been trying to come up with an idea for this myself, but I'm drawing a blank, so maybe someone else can. The idea is to take a story or passage from Tolkien's work, and tell the real story of what happened.

I am not saying that I will never write anything of this nature, because I may think of something, but it's so broad that any number of people could use it. And if anyone does, be sure to tell us about it, because I'd love to read it.

There's a little bit of that idea in the fic Sindohte and I are working on...we hope to put Part I up this week, which is topping out at 127 pages.

Nothing like having two highly verbal people try to write a fic. Plus I'm Revision Queen, I was doing that all day yesterday.

I want Part 1 up by the end of the week come hell or Sauron. We have been lugging this baby around long enough. It is time to unleash it upon the world I think that in addition to being very verbal, Roisin and I have the "slight" tendency to overanalyze things. However I think that will be a boon to the reader because they will be able to delve into the psychological motivations of our miscellaneous cast of characters.
