*ahem* Can anyone point me in the direction of a site that deals in Tolkein fic, by any chance?

If there's anyone out there still watching this list, that is?

*ahem X2* As so many folk seem alive... would it be considered unseemly to suggest a Ficathon?

*ahem* I was just wondering- is anyone still out there on this list?

Sad Just went to subreality.com, and thought I'd go to Kielle's Tolkein page, only to find the registration for it had expired. I should have expected it to happen, but... I dunno.

It just made me very, very sad.

*quiet cough* Is it long enough since the last Ficathon to start begging for another one?

Dear person I am writing for and apologies especially because I think I may possibly know who you are. I am trying, I promise. And I'm not going to give up because I know its there somewhere, its just that every attempt I've made so far has progressed a short distance and then reached an abrupt stop. But there are little flickers of words and pictures that will eventually become something whole I swear. And furthermore I think I may actually have an ending now, I just have to get to it. And possibly it will only be five hundred words long when I do and possibly it will be five hundred bad words and it will be awful. But whatever they turn out to be I know they're in there somewhere and I'm determined to get them out. But it will be late, later, even. And I'm very, very hideously sorry for that. :(

Title: Harvest of the Sea
Holiday Requested: Harvest
Character(s) Wanted: I would like a story featuring the sons of Imrahil(Elphir, Erchirion and Amrothos) at some point while they are young.

I'm so sorry it took so long. My sincerest apologies to whosever's request this was. School got so busy and I got a bit of a mental block on this story. The earliest version of it involved Corsairs and and the dates were a little bit later but it just wouldn't work. It was a bad cross between POTC and LOTR, lol. I think this works a bit better, I'm hoping at least. :)

OT: NEW Obscure Fic Community I hope you don't mind if I post this here. I've created a new community for the more obscure bits of LotR fanfic. Y'all seem to have tastes that are in keeping with what the com is about. In fact, I got the idea to create it after reading the wonderful fics from this challenge. So...

If you have a hankering for tales from the more oscure corners of Middle Earth, then lotr_hinterland is the place for you! This community is meant to be a place for fanfic and discussion about the inhabitants and lands we just don't often hear much about (Easterlings need stories, too! And Dunlendings, Variags, Beornings, Breeland hobbits, pretty much any variety of dwarf...You get the idea).

We welcome fanfic of all genres (including gen, het, and slash) and all ratings. Non-members can post to the community. So even if you only have one story that fits the bill and don't want to join another community, go ahead and post! We want your obscure fic!

For more details, read the community info.

My belated entry straggling in...hope it was worth the wait for the requester. It's a little shaky on the holiday connexion, but hopefully the challenge was answered to your satisfaction! :)

Title: To Be Brave
Author: Nishy
Rating: G
Words: 1,956
Request: Some kind of reflection into the Haleth people, and their interactions with Caranthir and the other Feanorions (Sawain/Samhain).
Notes: Haldan is the nephew of Haleth (son of her twin brother). Moryofinwe is Caranthir's father-name, thus Mori. Aran is Quenya for King--the Haleth people were said to follow no lord or master before she became chieftain, so a "king" was probably, to them, something other people had to worry about. Be gentle, I've never written Feanorions or Haleth-ians before ;).
( They made their presence known in subtle ways, like malevolent gods.Collapse )

To my Mathoms person: I'm sorry I haven't finished your story yet. It should be finished by the end of this week. Thanks for being so understanding.

Bright Fire Deep apologies for the lateness; I'm afraid the requestor had to wait far longer than this little ficlet deserves. I didn't fit in everything they asked for, but I did manage a post-quest Beltane (or the equivalent) with Merry and Pippin visiting the Rohirrim. Hope you enjoy it!

delayed post I'm very sorry about the delay - RL caught up with me last week in the form of a sick child and sick beta. I'm at work late tonight without access to my story but I will be able to post it tomorrow before noon CST.

Thanks for your patience, mathom-person, and I apologize again.

Mathoms Holiday Fic: A Drink For The Dead Title: A Drink for the Dead
Author: Karigan Rohanna
Challenge: Holiday Mathoms Challenge
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,693
Warnings: OCs, a lot of Adunaic
Summary: In the reign of Tar-Telperien, it is the day to remember the dead with feasting.
Request: A Numenorean holiday for the dead.
Notes: This fic features 2 things I like very much; OCs and Adunaic. The Adunaic come from the Ardalambion Article, as did all the names of all the OCs. At the bottom is a key to all the Adunaic used. I hope it meets the desires of the requester! Edit: I made a silly typo in the summary. Sorry.

Holiday Mathoms: In Light and Song Request: _spring equinox; arwen/aragorn, or hobbits; rating, G-R; slash/non: for a/a, obviously no slash (but gen is fine, it doesn't have to be explicit). for hobbits, I'll take anything (slash/het/gen)_and, well, this is what came of it.

Notes: I wrote about hobbits, if only because I am much more comfortable with them than I am with Aragorn and Arwen. Set March of 1421, Shire Reckoning. Not using hobbit-month names, if only because I am stubborn like that. Oh, and beta thanks to lindelea1 - who was brilliant as she ever is.

*deep breath* Holiday Requested: A celebration of the founding of Rohan -- could be either marking the anniversary of

Eorl's ride from the north

, or Brego's building of Meduseld.

Character(s) Wanted: Eomer and Eowyn (A/N: Theodred snuck in there too)

A huge thank you to Joey for beta-ing this, even though I ended up rushing him.

Hope you like it.

Holiday Mathoms Challenge - Warrior Bride Author: Mordelhin
Title: Warrior Bride
Challenge: Holiday Mathoms Challenge
Word Count: 600
Rating: PG-13
Warning/s: slash, human sacrifice, kind of dark (but there is romance, honest!)
Summary: Set in Dunland, in the years 2757-2758 of the Third Age.Wulf's lover, Calum, must be sacrificed to ensure victory over Rohan.
Written for this request:
I'd like a Valentine's Day kind of holiday... about the Rohirrim or any of their ancestors (branches of Men) (I especially like stories about Dunlendings). Rating can be from PG to R. I'm going to make it a little bit harder this time as well by asking for slash. So basically this is a request for a romance story between two men/boys who are from a race where physical affection is not seen as often.
