"Tell me a story. Be my storyteller."

―Arzum Uzun

For this quarter's challenge, we wanted to try something a little different: an informal story-request challenge. Here is how the challenge is worded in our very-shortly-forthcoming July newsletter:

Be it midst of winter or summer, this is the time to gather around the fire together. Whether for

I would like a conversation between Caranthir and Maedhros, in Valinor, once they both leave the Halls of Mandos. Please don't write them at odds with each other.

Maglor lives alone on the Isle of Himling. Someone visits the island, not knowing it’s inhabited. What happens?

[oloriel]

I wrote something: Elf-struck. When they head out to a supposedly haunted island for a dare, the Douglas twins make an acquaintance that changes them forever. A Victorian ghost story, without, as it were, a ghost. Hope you enjoy!

OOH! Thank you! *goes to read*

Not sure whether I should say anything at this point, especially as you've already got a fill, but I may be producing a second one.
I'm writing drabbles for Tolkien Weekly's Coastal Challenge. So far I've managed to get Maglor into a boat and all the way to Himling...
The drabbles are here:

3rd/4th age Valinor-- Culture clashes and unanswered questions! For example... How do the Vanyar feel about the influx of relative "newcomers" to Valinor at the end of the 3rd Age? What happens when all of the Elves who can claim right to the title "High King" are re-embodied? Are any of the sons of Fëanor ever released from the Halls of Mandos, and if so, what is the reaction from the Teleri? What happens when members of a family who left Valinor for Middle-earth reunite with family members who didn't leave? Lots of territory to explore here! :)

Do you have strong feelings regarding OCs? I'm poking at something inspired by this prompt, but it's turning out to be very OC-centric.

[kenazfiction]

I totally enjoy OC's, so go nuts! :D

I would love to see a scene or read some dialogue between Beleg and Turin at the time of the Dagor Dagorath...Is Turin forgiven? How does Beleg feel when he sees Turin again? Are they ready for the battle of all battles? (Slash or Gen-- anything goes!)

Also left @ AO3, but just in case

Don't worry! This exchange doesn't have a set reveal date or anything like that, so it's less easy for the recipient to track whether they have fills and I was well aware of that!
I'm so happy you like the story!
I'll respond in more detail over at AO3.
