Hello, all! My name is Achika of Rhien and I adore the Silmarillion. My favorite chapter is, unfortunately, Of Turin Turambar. Does that make me a twisted person? Maybe. But because I love the Silmarillion so much, I wanted to spread the joy of it. Unfortunately, not everyone is as stubborn as I. So I created silmin10, which is a Community of summeries of the Silmarillion, chapter by chapter. They are crack-filled and hopefully funny and strange, and not in order. I have four chapters posted (Maeglin, Beren and Luthien, Turin, and the Darkening of Valinor). I hope you enjoy them.

Mellon, im Maedhros. Telin le thaed.
I don't want to annoy you with another "I've fixed Maedhros', but I just did it. I hope now it's final version, anyway I wont bother you here with another upade on this image.

So Arwen has stolen Glorfindel's part in teh movie, Maedhros has stolen Arwen's line here.
OK, ok, I did it, he is almost innocent ;)

I like the strange 'Im Maedhros. Telin le thaed' variation best. Is he talking there to a lost Sindarin kid found near Himring Hill or in his madness to Elwing sitting in a window with Mouth of Sirion view?

Maedhros - art
I see I was not posting it here, though I think you all are in other groups I did. Hmmm.
Anyway since I have updated the image I can post it here, too.

Here is new variation with nicer hair:

And another color scheme - a friend asked me of a desktop in sepia:

[The thumbnail is from my new deviantArt ID, the best part.]

+ old post omitted here:

2006-02-03 /// A bit wild, a bit mad, a bit sane and still noble. A variation of a drawing I try to create for some time, if you're curious links are in the description. Link to the drawing:

Voices Of Despair
Title: Voices of Despair
Author: ford_of_bruinen (ford_of_bruinen@yahoo.co.uk)
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: No characters in this belong to me.
Feedback: I am open to all feedback, if you find linguistic, grammatical, plot or canon errors that you want to point out then please do so, I will be eternally grateful for all feedback given.
Summary: 18 Drabbles and 3 Double-drabbles on the theme Despair. Silmarillion based.

The Baby Thranduil Drabble Series
Title: The Baby Thranduil Series
Author: Rei-hime
Pairing: Elrond/Oropher
Rating: PG (overall)
Warnings: Mild slash; mpreg; fluff; Gil-galad abuse.
Summary: Elrond and Oropher raise their new son in Lindon as best they can.
Disclaimer: I own the little doll that shows up in a few of the drabbles. That's about it. ^ ^
Notes: Series not completed in the slightest; I'm certain to write more. For the second drabble, "Fidelity," I'm going by the theory that the name "Thranduil" comes from "tharanduil" which means "across the great river," which is where Oropher takes his son when they journey to the Wilderlands. And for "Heredity" Elrond's grandmother was Idril Celebrindal, daughter of Turgon, king of Gondolin.

Title: Ready, Steady, Go – Russandol’s Promise
Author: Rei-hime
Rating: G
Cast: The Sons of Feanor
Disclaimer: I do not own the sons of Feanor, nor the original song. I lay claim to the reworked lyrics, if I may.
Notes: “Ready, Steady, Go” by L’Arc~en~Ciel is the second (and most recognized) opening song to “Fullmetal Alchemist,” one of my favorite anime series. The song, the series’ storyline, and the main characters have always reminded me of the Sons of Feanor and their search for the Silmarils. I looked up the Japanese and English translation of the lyrics (found here - http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/fmalchemist/readysteadygo.htm), and at first just started to rewrite the English lyrics so they fit the rhythm of the song sung in Japanese, but then I was inspired to further rework the song as words spoken by Maedhros to his brothers. The unaltered text is Maedhros’s words, the italicized text is his brothers echoing, and the bolded/italicized text is all seven brothers together.

Magweth Pengolodh Part 4
Less obscure 'cause it's based on "Unfinished Tales" stuff. Plus, it's got Maeglin. That's good, yes?

Part 4 of Magweth Pengolodh: The Question of Pengolod – The Erulaitalë. Pengolod recounts his first meeting with Maeglin, then goes to witness the midsummer rite of the Erulaitalë, where he sees Tar-Minastir in his finest hour.
