In the name of Merriment I have created the; 'Official Fellowship of the Fans Contest' A book dedicated to the continuing support of our colourful fandom. As fans of a fanfic writing community we should foster good cheer and encouragements to one another. So, Gandalf's Challenge is born! Gandalf is a wise old wizard with plenty of stories to tell, but let's not forget how he likes to help give others a little shove out the door - so they can make stories of their own adventures too. Are you up for taking Gandalf's Challenge, and joining the fellowship of the fans on this quest...mission...thing? Good! Well what are you waiting for, come on in and read all about it!

My miscellaneous book is kind of a mess. So from now on, any one shots/short stories I write can be found here!

#1 in Tolkien, #1 in Silmarillion, #1 in Lord of the Rings, #1 in Elrohir, #1 in Dunedain First in LotR series, Fëanoriel Chronicles. Written in 2012. Awaiting rewrite. *** Miril has been raised by Halbarad of the dúnedain after her forebearers came from Arnor, and before that Numenor, and even before that from Beleriand. She and her family are destined for things she doesn't quite comprehend yet. Though a seasoned ranger already, having faced the trials of the North for nearly 40 years, things hardly get easier with age. But before she can step into her own story, she journeys with her best friends, the twin sons of Elrond, running errands leading up to the War of the Ring. Her love of battle and craving for revenge for a death in her past leads to a discovery coming to light that some thought should've been kept hidden. They also might point to the truth of her parentage. When she starts having strange dreams about a swan ship, an oathbreaker, and a shining jewel, things just get crazier. Elrohir/OC *** Internal timeline will stretch from beginning of Lord of the Rings into the Fourth Age post War of the Ring with flashbacks. Needs a rewrite and general editing since it's 6+ years old, but I still like the premise and it spawned many sequels so... Please bear that in mind. *** FOR LORE: -BOOK CANON, not movies -Some liberties taken with the Ban of the Valar. -Technically this is Ninth Walker, not Tenth Walker (a more canon compliant version).
