Of The Coronation Of King Elessar Telcontar

Hello, all. As the "Princess of Publishing/Arch-duchess of Advertising/Marchioness of Marketing", I'm here on behalf of my fellow members of The Burping Troll collaborative writing group to promote our newest tale, Adamant.

Title: Adamant
Author: Sevilodorf, erinrua*, and Celebsul
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: n/a (this is not a "pairing" sort of tale)
Warning: only some mild violence
Disclaimer: Middle Earth and everything in it belongs to Tolkien. We of The Burping Troll are merely playing in the professor's sandbox.
Summary: The final part of the 'Precious Stones' trilogy, following 'Bloodstone' and 'Obsidian'**. Nik, the small uruk-hai befriended by Russbeorn, has sworn to do what no orc has done before: stand and testify to his innocence of murder after killing a man in defense of human life. But will Nik's truth overcome the lies of unscrupulous men? (Can be read as a stand-alone story.)
Author's Notes: The above summary was written by erinrua.
Feedback: Feedback is like manna to the muses. It would be wonderful if you could leave feedback in our guestbook.
Genre: Drama / Adventure
Fandom: Canon story set after the War of of the Ring. (All of the BT stories are set after the War of the Ring, actually.)

*erinrua was the winner of the TORN ORC award for "Best Fanfiction" this past January for her story The Last Grey Ship, which is also housed at the BT site.

**Obsidian was a semi-finalist in the 2004 Mithril awards.

Rating: Hm... I'm no good at that... nothing much, it's just, well... sad... to me.
Pairing: My two/three characters
Disclaimer: These characters are mine! My only!!! My... um... nevermind... they have no names or so, I only used Tolkien's environment.
Notes: Well, people this is my first Tolkien-related story EVER, so, as me is still a virgin in these waters, don't be too hard! Although, I'd kill to know what you think! So, if you think I suck and should never write again, please, tell me, and if by any chance, you think I'm... readable... THANK YOU!
Beta: No beta, hehe... no one knew I could write some of this sort till now! :oP
Summary: The War of the Ring is over, although Sauron managed to mess with people's lives one last time, so, one woman, whose life was destroyed due to Sauron's schemes, on her way to her death meets an elf on his way to his Final Yourney.
One last thing: I didn't know how to describe my story, what category it would be and so, so I x-posted it everywhere I thought it would at least partially belong. So, sorry, guys, if I placed it in wrong communities! It wasn't on purpose, just of dumbness! :oP

Just a reminder that nominations for the 2004 round of the Mithril Awards for Tolkien Fanfiction will close in 10 days' time, on Sunday 9 May 2004. ( More infoCollapse )

Nominations for the Mithril Awards 2004 are now open!

( To nominate...Collapse )
Apologies for the wide cross-posting, but we're keen to make sure no-one misses out.

The Kings of Gondor and the Mark are away south at war. In Ithilien an injured Faramir lies dying, dreaming of his long-lost brother. Elboron and Lothiriel must ride to join Eowyn at the Prince's bedside, leaving young Elfwine alone to rule Rohan in his father's stead with only Erkenbrand to aid him and Eldarion to annoy the hell out of him. And Hama's grandson is in some serious hot water...

( A small snippetCollapse )

What's all this? Let's just say that Chapter Nine of Heirs Of Arda is now online. PS: Please comment on the link provided!

(I haven't read past the first chapter yet, but so far so good -- it's got Elboron too, how can it go wrong? :)

In Darkness Buried Deep by Calanare Sairavanië
AU/Angst -- Rated R, for sexual themes, violence and slash

Summary: When the queen of Gondor dies in childbirth, Eldarion is left as the only heir to the throne. What if he fails to live up to expectations? A dark AU about the responsibilities of heritage, and the impossible task of replacing the Great King.

Excerpt: And so he was born out of a grand love story, the last union between Men and Elves. The legendary tale that would be told over the ages, of a hero who became king and an Elven princess who died for love.
The heir of Gondor.
The son of stars.
He hated it.

Is it o.k. to post drabbles?
