This
story contains a few self-invented characters (Like Hallas and Ceorl),
some characters already in Tolkien canon but not named (like Hilda) and
characters already there in Lord
of the Rings. The bulk of all the things
I wrote about came from my own head which was put in writing after
Varda
asked if I had a story. Warning: the story contains character death and
Battle scenes.
The references for this are:
1) The Lord of the Rings and
"Appendix"
2) The Silmarillion (a small
part)
3) The Unfinished Tales (a
small part)
I
think the story is not bad but not good also. As it goes in my English
exam, I want to say thanks to my editor, Varda, who was kind enough to
edit my story (or you wouldn't have been able to read a hair of it) and
also I want to thank the Valar Guild for publishing my first fan
fiction
story.
Any comments on the story (or on myself) is
welcomed. Please e-mail to sauron432000(AT)gmail.com
.
I want to pat myself on the back for writing (as far
as I
know) the second longest story in the Valar Guild (more than 15,000
words). Hats off to Haleth though for her story of over 30,000 words.
Thanks to Varda, my editor again!.
