Evandar

Legolas and Thranduil, how are we going to be able to take the perfection? (And the moose. Though do moose even live in forests?) And yeah iirc there was some speculation about if the dwarves-in-barrels were covered, like in the book, or if Thorin & co. were just floating around with their heads sticking out. Though if it's the latter surely the elves would notice?)

We thought Fëanor's kids were bad with names, but Aragorn really gave them a run for their money, didn't 'he?

It's funny because of course, after having gone through the Silmarillion, the Ainulindale is so simple and easy to get through, since the narrative is so coherent. That really is the problem with the Histories -- they really are Tolkien's notes, with various versions of things presented with commentary, and not "Extra Finalized Bits Of Canon Material We Couldn't Fit In The Silmarillion." I've tried flipping through them but I don't know where to start? How do people index things? (I cheat and rely on Wikis, etc.)

Those two fics sound fascinating -- you've already demonstrated you can do Thorin/Bilbo believably, and I am curious to see how you write Celebrimbor too! I am here to cheer you on :)
