Snowflake Challenge, Day 1

[curiouswombat]

If you don't know about the snowflake Challenge, and want to, click here.

The Challenge for today is In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

Actually I find it quite hard to blow my own trumpet - but I am best known by some people for the Return of the Key series - so I thought perhaps to actually start by a rec for that original story, which featured both characters from the Buffyverse and those from Lord of the Rings.

Return of The Key - 17 chapters long, rated FR15.

Then I have a favourite which is purely a Buffyverse one, written well before the comics and so fitting canon up to Chosen, which looks at a possible future for Xander.

Half a Sky of Stars - just over 2,000 words long, rated FR13.

And a favourite pure Tolkien world one, that is not part of the Returnverse and seems to not get noticed much - this looks at the sons of Elrond in the fourth age - it was a really difficult one to write - but it wouldn't let me stop until it was done -

A Powerful Absence - just over 7,000 words long, rated 'teen'

I am rereading Return of the Key at the moment for about the third or fourth time, I will have to try Half a Sky of Stars when I get done and I think A Powerful Absence is so possible, including Arwen's reaction to the news. I can't blame Elladan for wanting to keep Elrohir to himself for a while!

I don't write my self and I have every admiration for those who do and give us non-writers so much pleasure.

Huggs and a Happy New Year,
Lynda

Thank you.

You know, I am really so pleased that you think Arwen's reaction is so possible.

I wanted the grief of different people, and the way they dealt with it, to take different forms; and at least one person thought I was mean to Elrond when he chose to cope by almost ignoring the fact that Elladan must still feel ripped in two. So it is good to hear that Arwen seems right.

Well she had to blame someone and the poor horse just would not have understood, so Elladan it was!

As you say different people handle grief different ways, Elrond was probably working on the premise that he had one child back with him, one child he would not see until the Remaking and one waiting on the sidelines as it were, who would be returned in time and Elves have all the time they need and then some! A bit cynical I know, but such is life.

Must go and reread Jay's story.
