I want to do two quick things!

First is to rec the new story of my beta-author, Idril's Scribe, The Stars Above the Sea. This is the sequel to her story from earlier this year, Under Strange Stars. USS is an AU story in which Glorfindel is tasked with tracking down Elrohir, who was kidnapped as a child, sold into Umbarian slavery, and currently fighting alongside Haradrim rebels. USS is a phenomenal story, and The Stars Above the Sea is an excellent sequel about Elrohir's journey to rejoin his family in Imladris and how he copes with what he discovers about himself and his own misgivings about Elves and magic. Idril is a phenomenal writer--able to paint beautiful scenes in a few sentences in a way I envy--and I recommend all of her work, but if you want something longer to read over the holidays, these two in particular.

I'm also SSPing myself: Home Alone: Forgotten in Formenos. Yes, it is a Silmarillion/Home Alone crossover. I have been wanting to write this for two years now; it is not finished, but I hope I can finish it during the holidays.
Well, I'm home, so here are all of my drabble series that I owe to date. *whew* Well, except two: a naughty one for Alina that I will post separately out of regard for my underage flisters and an original series for Juno that will be posted under a friend-lock. But the rest are all here!

First is "The Wanderer," a ficlet about Finrod. [livejournal.com profile] pulsarkat is fond of Finrod, and I’d once promised her a story about him during a somewhat ordinary moment in his life. The story doesn’t exist yet, but I used this idea to inspire this 600-word ficlet about where Finrod might have found his wanderlust and his friendship with his two eldest cousins.

[livejournal.com profile] isil_elensar is a hopeless romantic and also a hopeless Amrod fangurl, and so I give to her a hopelessly romantic series of three drabbles about a rather hopeless Amrod. (And no, it is not called “Hopeless.”)

Gladly )

For [livejournal.com profile] phyncke is a series of three double-drabbles about Fingolfin and how one finds his way through grief, exile, and darkness. The idea came to me while listening to the Blind Guardian song “The Eldar” and considering the line about how many of the Elves witnessed the first sunrise. The symbolic implications of this event at such a dark time in their history was impossible to resist, and I was bitten!

Blinded )

[livejournal.com profile] frenchpony once wrote a story about Fëanor that began with him stretching to reach something he thought to be unattainable. “Fire Ascending” is one of my favorite Silmfics, and through it, I discovered not only a fantastic author but a friend who unfailingly challenges and helps me as a writer.

“How to Paint a Star” is a quibble (five hundred words) reflecting the idea of a young Fëanor reaching for something that is unattainable—for the moment—and my recent fascination with the Mindon Eldaliéva.
