Devon, England.
Jay of Lasgalen has kindly given permission to let
the Valar reprint her stories, with
notice
given.
Some of the sites where her work may be found are The Mellon
Chronicles (no longer taking new stories; no longer online), Stories of
Arda, and FanFiction.net,
which include her bio.
The stories are posted here chronologically in the
order in which they happened, rather than in which they were written
unlike most sites.
This series is mostly about Elladan and Elrohir with
some stories about their friend Legolas, sister Arwen, adopted brother
Aragorn and the characters
associated with them such as Elrond and Thranduil.
Drabble (100 word challenge form) original dates are
uncertain, starting at 2004 and some yearly since.
The AU's [Alternate
Universe] for these stories:
Arwen is born 6 years after
Legolas, but she is only 11 years younger than the twins rather than
111. Legolas is 5 years younger than the twins. This allows the
four to grow up together. Thus Arwen at 1 would mean Legolas is 7 and
the twins 12.
Gilraen dies early.
Bio on "Stories of Arda" by Jay of Lasgalen:
I've been a Tolkien fan since I was about 14
(many years ago now!) and have to confess that Legolas was always my
favourite character. Since I've been writing fanfiction, Elladan and
Elrohir seem to have taken his place - though I still write about
Legolas and good!Thranduil. I hate stories where he is evil and
abusive, and always write him as a loving father.
I used to re-read the books about once a year, but
that stopped a few years ago, mainly due to time constraints. The films
rekindled my interest, and confirmed my opinion that Legolas is still
the best! However, I was bitterly disappointed that PJ left Elladan and
Elrohir out of the films. They, or Legolas (or all three) feature in
all my stories.
I'm English, and live in Devon. I'm married, with
two children (21 & 18), one dog and one cat.
Please e-mail me if you have a question or comment
that won't go in a review - but if you do, please put the story title
(or something LOTR-related) in the subject line - otherwise it will
probably go to my junk mail,and get deleted!
Bio on "FanFiction.net" by Jay of Lasgalen:
Time to update this bio. I had such withdrawal
symptoms when I
finished my first story I immediately started planning others - I've
now finished several stories, some long, some short, some very short
one chapter efforts. I'm probably older than most on this site -
certainly old enough to know better! (45, if you must know).
I'm
English, live in Devon, and have one husband, two teenage children
(Stephen, 20 and Anne,18), one dog (an Irish setter) and one cat
(variegated).
My stories are based far more on Tolkien's books,
rather than the films (though they're wonderful) - I first read LOTR at
about 14, (over30 years ago) and had a crush on Legolas even then. His
appearance in the film makes things even better!
My favourite
characters are the twins Elladan and Elrohir- which has to be down to
fan fiction, since Tolkien said so little about them. They, or Legolas
(or all three) feature in all my stories.
I'd like to recommend a wonderful fic site, 'Stories
Of Arda' where I also post my work.

With
Friends Like These G (twins 17, Legolas 12)
T.A. 147 (After Telparian's death of T.A. 145.) (Twins 17-19,
Legolas 12-14, Arwen 6-8, Aragorn unborn)
First meeting of Legolas with the
twins, Elladan and
Elrohir. They visit each other's lands with plenty of action, humor,
angst.
"A series of misadventures chronicling the early,
'teenage' years of Elladan, Elrohir and Legolas. Action, humour and
angst."
Ch. 1: "This series starts in TA 147. Elladan
and
Elrohir are seventeen,
Legolas is twelve. I have made one very small departure from
canon,
and moved Arwen’s birth forward by 100 years. This was necessary
so
the four can grow up together in the course of this series. Don’t
forget, they’d appear a little younger by our standards."
Ch. 15: "And before anyone tells me that the twins
were adult by the
time Arwen was born: I know they were; but for the sake of this
story
I’ve moved her date of birth forward by 100 years. She is 11
years
younger than her brothers, rather than 111. In this and
subsequent
chapters Arwen is 8, Legolas 14, and the Els are 19. So yes, it’s
AU,
or non-canon, in that respect."

"This is the back story to my drabble 'A

Elrohir is bitten by a deadly spider. The story is set around the year
2000 Third Age.

tale of woes at the
beginning of this chapter [1] are all detailed in ‘With
Friends Like
These’
or ‘Mid
Winter’s Eve’."
"The effects of the spider poison are based mostly
on descriptions of
the bite of the Australian funnel-web spider (but not entirely).
They
are aggressive, and the venom is fast-acting – but not as deadly as the
gorliante. As we only developed antidotes in the 1980’s,
I do
not think elves would have had the technology to do so – so there is no
cure! As with most spiders, the gorliante female is larger
(and deadlier) than the male."

the Dimrill Gate
T.A. 2951
"Elladan, Elrohir and Estel are travelling
through the Misty Mountains when they sense a shadow of darkness on
Moria. Exploring the dark tunnels, they find orcs and trolls before
disaster strikes. Trapped in the mines, and with Elrohir injured, how
are they to escape?"
Author's Note: This story is based on two quotations
from Lord Of The Rings,
which I decided to combine to form a single event:
“I too once passed the Dimrill Gate,” said Aragorn
quietly; “but though I also came out again, the memory is very
evil. I do not wish to enter Moria a second time.”
(The Fellowship Of The Ring, Book Two, Chapter Four, A Journey In The
Dark.)
‘But when Estel was only twenty years of age, it
chanced that he returned to Rivendell after great deeds in the company
of the sons of Elrond …’
(The Return Of The King, Appendix A, The Tale Of Aragorn And Arwen)
More Author's Notes:
Ch. 2: Bioluminescence is a
naturally occurring phenomenon in some algae, fungi and
creatures. A light-emitting algae growing in caves that
provides enough illumination to see by is only a slight stretch of the
imagination!
Ch. 6: Physician, heal thyself. (Luke
4:23)
Ch. 13: Farin’s song is, of course, the
one Gimli sings to the Fellowship in the mines of Moria.
Author's Thanks: to beta Aglarien, ch. 4 suggestion
from Nilmandra,, ch. 11 beta Fimbrethiel, ch. 12 beta Aglarien for her
sterling beta work, and also to Ainisarie for her help, ch. 13 Many,
