Kurufinwë Atarinkë is 29 years old, and a graduate student in Irish History and Politics at the University of Ulster in Derry, Northern Ireland. Despite that, I am an American citizen by birth, although I'm quite a Europhile. :) I'm a big fan of Tolkien's works, especially his more obscure texts such as Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth, The Shibboleth of Fëanor, and Laws and Customs among the Eldar. I also love The Silmarillion but some of Christopher Tolkien's choices in that are not choices I would have made. My fan fiction interest is mainly centered around the House of Finwë, in particular, the house of Fëanáro.
