The Roundel - A Beleriand Treasury
http://clodia-metelli.livejournal.com/165866.html
Lord of the Rings Fanfiction. Powered by LiveJournal.com. When you see this, post some poetry. A roundel is wrought as a ring or a starbright sphere,. With craft of delight and with cunning of sound unsought,. That the heart of the hearer may smile if to pleasure his ear. A roundel is wrought. Its jewel of music is carven of all or of aught. Love, laughter, or mourning remembrance of rapture or fear. That fancy may fashion to hang in the ear of thought. A roundel is wrought. Me too. It's so bouncy! They ...

To perhaps spark some discussion. By Quiet desperation (. At January 1st, 2009 (12:34 am). Should you bamf into Middle Earth, what skills do you think you might bring? That is, if any?

Fannish 5 - Constructive Criticism of LOTR Fanfiction
http://lotrfic-crit.livejournal.com/21565.html
By Quiet desperation (. At May 16th, 2008 (04:08 pm). In what five fictional locations would you love to live? First response to this question has to be 'Oh, heck, there are so many.'. 1) Rivendell. Not, as some might prefer, Lórien. I think Lórien, from the description in the books, involves too much climbing about. I can't see Tolkien's elves having a lift but it seems well within the abilities of Rowling's wizards. 3) Roke Island. Again, I see myself as a teacher rather than a student. 1) Rivendell...

The Katana Myth again. - petermorwood. The Katana Myth again. May 17th, 2013 01:14 am. Advance warning for bad language - not mine, its part of someone elses quoted post. The Japanese sword is a good weapon. What it’s not is some weird combination of Excalibur and lightsabre. The European longsword is a good weapon. What it’s not is some weird combination of iron club and barbell. ITS A GIANT FUCKING CHUNK OF METAL. ITS NOT A FUCKING STICK YOU PLAY GAMES WITH…. And so on…. Read the raving again, but add ...

Hate your family? Become a fantasy hero. Or maybe not. - Fictualities

Become a fantasy hero. Or maybe not. Thursday, December 6th, 2007 - 4:52 pm. What makes for a page-turning story? What's the engine that makes a narrative speed along like The Little Engine that Could? Kill them off (Voldemort), or, if you're really sophisticated, let them live, humiliated (Umbridge), defanged (Lockhart), or continually forced to acknowledge the protagonist's supreme good fortune and general all-around coolness (Draco). Oh, yeah. It felt GOOD. Zap! I love The Dark is Rising. But more tha...

Lord of the Rings Fanfiction. Powered by LiveJournal.com. Nice to meet you: why are you here? Answers on a postcard, please - or just attached in comments to the bottom of this post! This is also a good place for general conversation, questions and prompts. Posted on 2nd Dec, 2023 at 11:55. I am not quite sure what to answer to that, as I really like your writing. Yours are the only Silmarillion fan fiction I have ever read and I have learned a lot about the Silmarillion from you stories. How I've ended ...

Brit-picking tool for writers and other word-lovers: the British National Corpus - Fictualities
http://fictualities.livejournal.com/88436.html
Brit-picking tool for writers and other word-lovers: the British National Corpus. Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 - 4:10 pm. Have you ever wondered how the British use a word like "pavement" or "jumper"? In fandom, non-British writers with such questions can get their fic Brit-picked, and that's a terrific idea. But Brit-picking has its limitations. What if you consult several British fans and they disagree? Would a British person really use a word in the way you want your character to use it? If an American...

Into that world inverted. Tell the Wind and Fire Snippet. May 14th, 2015 at 11:36 AM. Originally published at Sarah Rees Brennan. You can comment here or there. So I’m copyediting Tell the Wind and Fire, and I asked people on twitter if they wanted a snippet, and it seemed like yes they could be about the snippet life! For all those who do not know, Tell the Wind and Fire is my new book, out spring 2016, and the potted summary for it currently goes like this:. Come here, I said, and advanced on the doppe...

Race in Fantasy - Eiron and Alazon. Droopy Eyed Priest Groopies Anonymous. Oct 20th, 2006 @ 03:06 pm. So I was reading a favorite series again last night when once again, like a bolt of lightning to my brain, I was struck by how pale all of the characters were. There were many "races," but all of them were described as looking similar, with perhaps olive skin as the darkest skin could get. And this, in a fantasy world! Talk about fantasies; seriously, what does this say about the author? I haven't read m...

S The context for this was an idea for a set of courses for writers, where they'd discover how difficult it is to:. Swim in cold water in your clothes; and. Open an average wooden door by shoving it with your shoulder. And seed-cake promptly at 5.00pm. I imagine this will lead to the exploration of new and more exciting jungles of fantasy ...
