There are eleven chapters in this story, and I'm going to post the last two together, as they have more impact when read together. (They're also very short.) So there's not too much more. :(
I am with you: I wish that I didn't have to waste such time on sleep. A full third of my day, of my life...sleeping? Think of all that I could do! Of course, I have no doubt that I could fill it up in no time, and I'd be complaining again about having no time for all that I want to do.
Eating I like far too much. Eating is a hobby of mine; good thing I have a fast metabolism and prefer healthy foods. ;) Already, Bobby has proclaimed this Awesome Restaurant Weekend, and we have planned out our first three meals. Eating out and going to the movies...we are such simple folk! :) (We are also going to at least two movies this weekend.)
As for Feanor in the Halls and in life...the scenes in Middle-earth I wanted to show his gradual descent into madness. I do not believe that he was "all there" at this point in his life...and with good reason. He'd endured far more trauma than most people much less Elves. Of course, the PoV is complex because he is looking back and so is aware of his madness. This spells it out a bit more than I usually like, but I'll leave the deeper, trying-to-make-the-reader-go-crazy-too story for later in the AMC series. ;)
In the Halls, though, his understanding continues to grow. So we see him fall to his lowest and then rise to his highest not long after as he realizes and accepts his purpose in the Halls. Which is a pretty spectacular one (and fully canonical!)
And Feanor/Namo...I can totally see it. My Namo is all dark and hott and Feanaro...well, it would be a power struggle for sure! When you get back to writing, how about a challenge? *evil grin*
