Spoils of War - Chapter 1

Well, this week sees me taking a step I'd only been contemplating: creating my own personal archive website for my writings. It will include all of my Tolkien fics, a few of my original fics, and will link to another site (eventually) that will hold my fics for the other fandoms I used to write for under another author ID. There isn't anything really posted as yet story-wise, and I need to review how to do links in HTML, but here's the URL so any who are interested can keep track of what I'm doing on a number of fronts. There's a Comments box at the bottom of the index page for any feedback on the site itself, if things work or don't work for you, etc. Lemme know what you think, if you visit, OK?

My new site is called Bennas Aeärwen, which is Sindarin for Aeärwen's Corner. The URL for it is: http://BennasAearwen.yolasite.com

I finally just about have this one all the way through the beta and concrit process, so I feel comfortable in starting to post it. This story came at me very fast, much the same way In the Hidden Valley came at me. It is a much darker piece, and there will be chapters that will be under Adult Content lock later on.

The summary for the story is: In Mirkwood, at the end of the War of the Ring, a stranger in a strange land struggles to find a new place among beings taught to be fearsome and cruel. Rating will go up in later chapters.

And so, without further ado, I present ( Spoils of War - Chapter 1 - Spoils )

Aearwen's Little Bits - Different

Oh yea! I know I've mentioned that the original reason I started writing these little mots was a writing challenge at an online writer's workshop over a year ago - the challenge was to write 100 new and original words for 100 consecutive days. When I met the challenge, I was given an awards banner that, until now, I couldn't find. So, just to show you that I did indeed win a "Stubborn Limpet" award, here is the banner they gave me:



And so, here is today's drabble offering: ( Different )
