Welcome to my blog on Dreamwidth. I'm going to include information I think you might want to know about me before following me or reading onward because I don't currently have a sticky post and they are apparently a cool thing to have.
Who am I? My name is Dawn. Hi. My real last name is not "Felagund," so please just call me Dawn. (Emails and messages to Ms. Felagund honestly weird me out!) My purpose here tends to be related to Tolkien fandom, specifically fanfiction, and more specifically, Silmarillion-based fanfiction. I am a writer and the founder and one of the admins of the Silmarillion Writer's Guild. I am an independent scholar who researches/writes mostly about Tolkien's pseudohistorical devices (namely his construction of historical bias in his work) and Tolkien fandom studies. Less relevant to what I write about here: I am a teacher and live in Vermont with my husband and three Golden Retrievers (Guinevere, Gawain, and Hermione Joy).
What I post here: Most of what I post is related to Tolkien and fandom. Occasionally I post personal stuff but always do so under a friend-lock. I don't post a lot.
Using my work: All of my fanworks are available under a Creative Common's Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license. In plain English, that means 1) you can use my work for not-for-profit purposes, 2) but you must credit me, and 3) you must make whatever you make available under the same license. So if you want to make artwork of one of my stories, use one of my original characters in your own fic, or translate something I wrote—go for it! You don't even have to ask. (In fact, please don't! I am giving you permission right now! And I'm a teacher and love when people follow directions.) I appreciate you letting me know if you make something with my work but am not going to go wild either if you skip this step.
Where to find my work:

Where to find my work:
- The Silmarillion Writers' Guild has just about all of my Tolkien fanworks by this point. Yes, I am on other archives too, but the SWG is where you'll find most of my work in one place.
- Fanlore has a pretty solid list of my scholarly writings and presentations. If I wrote something that isn't linked there, feel free to contact me if you want a copy.
- DawnFelagund.com is my website. I try to keep all of my research and nonfiction writing that I'm allowed to post there.
