Ok, guys, first of all, thanks so much for your patience with my semi-eternal writer's block. I am a person who finds it difficult to start projects, and so it became a daunting task to begin a new story once I finished Season 1 of "Memoirs."
I have good news, however...the drought is ending!
I tried to get back into "Memoirs: Season 2," but my comedic skills seem to have hit a roadblock, so I'm trying something a bit different; a "Memoirs" prequel, called "A Thousand Years."
I've gotten some questions about how Legolas and Altariel met (not to mention how in the world they ended up in modern-day Earth), and this story will provide a backstory for them and will take place in Middle-earth during the War of the Ring.
Some notes about this:
1. I am trying diligently not to let this descend into a Mary-Sue or Alternate Universe story and have kept my characters separate from the original plot as much as possible.
2. Parents of any younger readers: this story may stray into PG-13 territory, but only because of the violence and darker themes that Lord of the Rings' plot contains. There will not be much in-text violence, so if this was a movie, it'd probably have its rating for, "Fantasy violence and some thematic elements," which brings me to my next point...
3. This is not a comedy like "Memoirs;" this is a romance. I am trying very, VERY hard not to turn this story into shameless fluff and sappiness, so there will be a coherent plot, I promise.
Again, thanks for dealing with my creative issues. I plan to begin work on this story NEXT SATURDAY, when I will have a week-long break from a lot of my schoolwork. This is new territory for me, so I may only complete a chapter every two weeks or so, but I will keep you all posted.
Stay tuned for "A Thousand Years!"
