Tolkien quote of the day:

Let me see now: if we're found here, or Mr. Frodo's found, and that Thing's on him, well, the Enemy will get it. And that's the end of all of us, of Lorien, and Rivendell, and the Shire and all. And there s no time to lose, or it'll be the end anyway. The war's begun, and more than likely things are all going the Enemy's way already. No chance to go back with It and get advice or permission. No, it's sit here till they come and kill me over master's body, and gets It: or take It and go.' He drew a deep breath. 'Then take It, it is! '

bullet Of Hearth and Home by Itarille Last Updated: 1/16/2025
As Faramir takes up his duties and prepares for the King's return, those around him quietly care for him. A later chapter in this story will include that kiss on the wall—how could it not?

bullet The Tenth Walker by Lindelea Last Updated: 1/13/2025
Bill the Pony gave my elbow yet another nudge this morning, causing me to spill my tea, and he licked up all the sugar from the bowl, and is likely to make a complete nuisance of himself if I don't write down his story. Chapters are about as long as a pony's attention span. New: Wolves!

bullet The Unquenchable Light by Virtuella Last Updated: 1/11/2025
Many years ago, I wrote a silly little story about Aragorn and Arwen planning their daughter’s wedding, and for this I invented a character called the Archseraph of Kûz, a ridiculously wealthy country far to the East of Gondor which, so Aragorn says, “nobody even knew existed twenty years ago.” But all things are connected, and this is the story of the role that Kûz played in the war against Sauron. I have used what little is known in canon about the remote East of Middle-earth, and then greatly

bullet Hello Authors Posting at SoA! by Lindelea Last Updated: 12/15/2024
This is not a story but a suggestion (warning?) to double-check your story summaries using the editing function. Look carefully at any stories in your list of published stories where the bottom-line information (Rating/Reviews/Status/etc.) is offset to the side. When I scrutinised my affected summaries in the edit box, I found text or coding had been added to the summary that was "invisible" on the home page display but showed up in the edit box. I worry that it might be some sort of malevolent

bullet Eä's Redemption by AaronSecret Last Updated: 11/27/2024
This is my new poetical attempt to add my own interpretation to Tolkien's Cosmology as to Eru's Creation and the Valar's minds and behind-the-scene providence reasons and mechanisms.. I often review Eä as part of our own world, just in another dimension, this is why I have always seriously thought on the matter who the Ainur are, who Eru is, how he matches our own religious pantheon, and this has been conducted after serious research of many esoteric teachings of our own planet's heritage.
