The Silmarillion is indeed rife with fanfic-opportunity, moreso than The Hobbit or LoTR in that respect. The only downside is that you have to remember a lot of history if you want to play in that sandbox. I've never have spent as much time in the timelines for discussion than I did for fanfic and RPG-reasons.

Writing Fan Fics
Quote:
I myself have been writing some post war North Dunedain fanfics over the last few years, and the main mash-up project has been posted by my lovely co-writer wife on Henneth Annun, and an edited version posted on The One Ring.com. Sadly, Henneth Annun has shut down ad is now only in Archive mode. Also, it was per chance that I got involved in a good old-style message-board writing RP on Council of Elrond based on the fall of Fornost in the year 1974. Clicking with a few good young writers in that story, I have again 'gotten the bug'. I have been working on some fanfic outlines based on the division of Arnor in 863, the sacking of Fornost in 1974, and the re-taking of Fornost in 1975. Anyway, I'm rambling. Hoping everyone gets the time and muse to create some great fanfics!

Do ramble. It's always nice to hear which area or timeline people are writing in.

The Sil is quite a big sandbox, and it is a bit daunting trying to keep everything in mind while creating the sub-tale fanfics.

Indeed, not too many fandoms that offer that particular benefit.

My co-writing project has concluded earlier this year, and now we are working on a bit of a prequel to it that starts during the War of the Ring.
I'm also reworking some past writings into something a bit more readable. Maybe one day I'll get some of these half-baked projects finished.

I have written quite a bit of fan-fic over the years. Here's the link to my gateway.
The woman who gave me my signature line was talking about my fan-fic character, LOL! He's a "bad boy" in every respect. And, I don't think that I should comment further.
