**NEW STORY** An Explorer in His Own Land Written for a winter 2010 exchange; somehow I'd not posted
this until now (July 2011). Post-Ring War, a man of Rohan with more curiosity than many goes to visit the Dwarves who have recently settled in the caves of Helm's Deep. G rating.

The Company of Strangers In honor of my friend
Elfscribe's birthday, I wrote her an adult
Tolkien story featuring two of her favorite characters, Elladan and Elrohir. I paired them with a relative innocent of Rohan, an OMC named Onthéon, set during the reign of King Brego, the second
king of Rohan. Yes, you've read this correctly: I have now written Elf slash, and twincest at that, though it's intimated, not outright.
Pairing/Trio: Elladan/Elrohir/OMC
Summary:
Onthéon, royal groom of Meduseld under King Brego's rule, has an unforgettable experience when Elladan and Elrohir arrive in Calenardhon under the auspices of having Elladan's
horse's foot healed.
NOTE: This is slash (M/M) and adult.
Written February, 2009
Herald, Steer Not Your Heart by the Stars For the first time ever, I participated in a Tolkien slash exchange. I was given the request of
Aragorn/Halbarad, canonical, and high angst.
Summary: Halbarad has always known that he and Aragorn wouldn't be together for a lifetime or anything near it, but that doesn't make the
actual ending of their discreet relationship any easier. A glimpse into the dynamics of the Chieftain of the Dúnedain and the Ranger who is dearest to his heart.
NOTE: This is slash (M/M) and
adult. It's also posted
here at the Slashy Santa fanfiction site. You can leave reviews there, or email me at my email
address listed on my front page.

Kindly Winter's Gift Written for
Annmarwalk, another lover of Rohan and her
people. Summary: On the longest night of the year, a 16-year-old Théodred learns about precious gifts. R-rating, slash. Théodred/OMC.
written December, 2005
The Standard-Bearer Written for
Jen, a fellow fandom friend for several years and beta
extraordinaire. Summary: When Aragorn struggled with his thoughts in the Hornburg after the battle at Helm's Deep, he asked another Ranger to accompany him. A vignette of Halbarad's musings on his
life and future during a long, uncertain night.

of the beholder.
written November, 2005
In the Shadow of Hope An
Éowyn-centric vignette set during the Houses of Healing. Injured, thwarted, frustrated and a somewhat resentful guest of Gondor
a few thoughts that may have passed through
Éowyn's mind while she contemplated the irony of her fate, and those interwoven within it.
written July, 2005
A House DividedA story about the lesser- written, earlier-generation marital uniting of Gondor and Rohan: a telling of the lives of Morwen of Lossarnach and
Thengel, their family, and those who intersect with it: Ecthelion, Aragorn, Rangers and Marshals. Drama, some angst.
Written October-December 2003. 8 Chapters. Now available

Boar and Steward The story that started it all. An 8 year old girl of Rohan unwittingly uncovers a piece of history, but it takes a very unexpected

Daughters of Oromë
(begins with "Boar and Steward") A story of Rohan, beginning with Éowyn's childhood and continuing past the War of the Ring, covering around 35 years. Features Éowyn and Frealas, an OFC
who is two years Éowyn's senior. Multiple POVs, action, drama, some angst and musings on a possible underground shieldmaiden subculture that might have been revived in Rohan before and during
the WR. Many scenes focus on ordinary people in Rohan and what their lives were like "off-screen" from the main storylines during Lord of the Rings.

**NEWISH STORY** A Rose Among Thorns I signed up for a
Tolkien genfic LJ challenge with a theme of 'believe it or not' and the prompt of "dim". I went with it in a different way than some people might have thought; features several original
character Dwarves and a
Hobbit-era aged Gimli. G rating.
Written October, 2010
I'm participating in
Fanfic 100, and I chose Gimli as my character. Each square in the table is a prompt, and ultimately I'll have 100 Gimli-centric
fics/ficlets. I've started with previously-completed works, and the links are to outside archives where you can opt to leave a review if so inspired.
The newest stories are prompt #36—
Smell, #56— Breakfast, and #80— Why?. #85 (She) is
Antiphon to Light, and has
won a couple of awards.
It's also my first and thus far, only story to have been translated! You can find it translated into
German
here as
"Ode an das Licht".
Fathers and SonsFathers and sons: oftentimes it's a strong bond between the two. So is it any wonder after Merry and Legolas return from Cair
Andros prior to King Elessar's coronation, that Gimli and Legolas would end up in a heated argument about Glóin and Thranduil? Humor.

Speak, Friend, and EnterA tale of Dwarves and Elves, of artisans, the creation of the great West-Gate at Khazad-dum, and unlikely authors. Both post-WR and

their heyday as well as musings on Dwarvish culture in general.

The HoursA set of vignettes which all take place during one particularly challenging day during the War of the Ring, March 14, 3019. The vignettes are
based around the monastic services of the hours, seven in all, from 3:15 a.m. to 7:30 p.m; additionally, each vignette focuses on one of the senses- taste, touch, etc. Some are well-known characters in
well-known scenarios, others are more obscure.

Celestial Quartet [adult content in chapters 2 & 3]
Four vignettes spanning three ages of Middle-earth, multiple geographies and races, and several points of view.

A Better Father There Never Was Written for the Father's Day Challenge at Henneth-Annûn. Okay
so the appendix doesn't say that
Merry ever has a daughter. But it doesn't say that he didn't. Or that she might not have been named for a certain woman of Rohan. This is a short one, sweeter than I usually write. Dedicated to my
great stepfather.

Character Biographies
Turgon, 24th Steward of GondorCharacter biography of Turgon, 24th Ruling Steward of Gondor. Father of Ecthelion and grandfather to Denethor, not
many people write about him, but he is in my story "A House Divided" and I figured he could use his own bio to distinguish him from the Elf Turgon in the First Age who features in many more fanfiction
stories.

Under the WaterfallThis is an essay written for a class on Fan Participation in Media and Culture. How do the members of Henneth-Annun see themselves? A paper outlining the responses

Does Gender Matter? Women, Tolkien and the Online Fanfiction Community The current Tolkien online fanfiction community, like most fanfiction
communities, is one in which most of the writers are women, many of whom are writing in male-character dominated environments. The Tolkien online fanfiction community has grown exponentially over
the past 18 months since the release of the Peter Jackson films of The Lord of the Rings. Is the gender of the writers of current Tolkien fanfiction relevant to their desire to write new stories set within
Middle-earth? The author, who is both a woman and a Tolkien fan, wondered about this, and decided to ask the writers themselves. She posted a survey to the current writers, asking questions relating
to why they write Tolkien fanfiction and their relationship, if any, to the women characters in Tolkien's works. This paper examines the 62 replies that were received over a two week time period in
February, 2003. The results are complex and inconclusive, though many responses are illustrative of the way this community sees itself in relationship to Tolkien's writings, each other, and the world at
large.
written February-March 2003. It was in writing this paper that I became inspired to write fanfiction
myself.
