My, you've been busy! :^D Thank you again for all the reading and reviewing you've been doing in the past few days. I'm so glad that you've enjoyed these stories. AMC remains one of my personal favorites, even though I don't think that it represents the best of my writing any longer. (It is three years old, so this is a good thing! :)
Most of my work represents my beliefs on canon: that the books are historical sources and should be approached with a healthy dose of skepticism when discovering what is truth and not. To me, this is more fun to write than simply recounting 1) what is in the books or 2) the accepted "fanon" interpretation of a particular person or event. It takes a lot of thought and a lot of work--and a lot of time afterward defending myself to canatics ;) --but it has been worth it.
If you are looking for more Silmarillion-based work, I would recommend my group, the Silmarillion Writers' Guild (SWG). We currently have 268 Silm stories archived on our site; generally, a handful more are added each week. We also have a search system that allows you to search for what you want in a story but also what you don't want, e.g., filter all stories about Feanor, of any rating, in the genres General and Drama, but nothing marked as Slash. The archive can be found here. There are also top-ten lists so that you can see what other readers on the site have consistently marked their favorite, what others have read and reviewed the most, and so on. (Apologies for the shameless self-promotion of my group, but if you want Silmfic, aside from the Silm section on fanfiction.net, this is a place where you're guaranteed to find it! :)
