An Interesting Thought from a Dedicated Reader

It takes a writer weeks of thought, creativity, effort and love to write a story. It takes a reader one or two days to read it through. It takes less than five minutes to use those little boxes at the bottom of the last chapter to write a comment.

If you liked the story, make the writer’s day and tell them so. It doesn’t have to be a “review” of the story. It can be as little as ‘thanks, I enjoyed that!’. You can make the difference to someone who is struggling to keep going with those four little words. So what’s so hard about that?

The writers on this site do this for love of their characters and their fandoms but gentle readers, don’t kid yourselves, putting their work out for the world to see is hard and it takes dedication. The feedback a writer gets is their only reward for all that work, and they deserve it.

A good story enriches the reader, it’s an escape from life that’s free, does no harm to your health or looks, and lasts a long time. There are many good stories on the site and they deserve to be read, their authors deserve to get something for their time and trouble. So leave a comment, even a short one, to let them know you enjoyed their work!

If you believe in making a writer's day (or week!) copy and paste this into your profile and spread the word - our best writers deserve to hear that someone is enjoying their stories...if we don't let them know, they might stop writing.

Greetings, fellow story-lovers,

I'm not in to all that overly long profile page, so I'll keep it like me - short and sweet ;)

Gory things, chocolatey things and furry, purry things is a very basic rundown of my likes... and I don't just have a TBR pile, I a TBR cupboard. I leave you to fathom me out :)

STORIES

LOTR - DAWNSTAR UNIVERSE
Some are by me, some are by Gaia caecilia, some are by both, but you'll find them all in my favourite stories list. Here they are in chronological order:

1) 'In the Spring Becomes the Rose' - Prequel to 'D&F'. How love is found in Mirkwood.
2) 'Dawnstar and Friend' - When two Graduates are transported to Middle Earth, they get rather caught up in events.
3) 'Forbidden Fruit' - Runs concurrently with 'D&F' and then beyond. From the POV of Thranduil's brother, Adindel.
4) 'She, Sorry They, Will Be Back' - Sequel to 'D&F'. Those in Valinor return to Arda, only to find it somewhat changed.
5) 'Song in the Woods' - Written for the most loyal reviewer of all these stories.
6) 'Fire Lily'
7) 'Merry Christmas, Or In Which Elladan (Finally) Gets His Girl'

(Stories 5, 6, and 7 are basically about the unmarried characters from 2 and 4 finding love).

8) 'Meditations' - Adindel is reflective.
9) 'Caught!' - Sequel to 'Meditations'. It seems even the Valar should learn to pay more attention...
10) 'Nights in White Satin' - Adindel has amorous intentions.
11) 'The Dawnstar Collection' - A series of one-shots, which add new material to the Dawnstar Universe. Any ideas you want us to include, just let me know.

LOTR - OTHER
1) 'Tangled Webs' - a prank fic featuring a young Legolas.
2) 'A Surfeit of Surprises' - the much requested and promised sequel to 'Tangled Webs', this time featuring a young Eldarion.
3) 'Old Love, New Life' - a romance featuring the elven couple with one of the most abiding loves in all Arda... sighs dreamily.
4) 'Memory Lane' - Lothiriel and her memories of Rohan.

SILMARILLION
1) 'A Tale of Two Elven Cities - Part One: Gondolin' - The blossoming of love between a new elleth and our favourite Golden Lord.

GREEK MYTHOLOGY
1) 'Above & Below' - Let's just say that Hades has taught Persephone a few things...
2) 'Punishments & Trickery' - Zeus needs bringing down a peg or two. Follow-on to 'A&B'.

I hope you find enjoyment when you read my stories.
