The Cursed Queen of Angmar  by khazar-khum 2 Review(s)

Much as I am compelled to cheer against the Nazgul, I can't see it as a good thing that Ferion is now in power. Did they really kill the king? Ariashal is in a bad way, poor thing.

Author Reply: Technically, Ferion only controls Rhudaur. Angmar is not his. And as you have probably already guessed, Ferion has made plans for his sister.

You know, if I didn't know he lived, I'd be really irritated at you.... ;)

Nice job, as always. This is one of those stories that is just good fiction, one you could easily publish professionally with a few name changes, which I certainly hope to see you do.

Author Reply: Thanks!

The biggest obstacle to changing the names is the loss of resonance. The backstory is already there. Everyone knows what the Nazgul are. Losing that would, I think, undermine some of the story's effect.


It would be nice if the Tolkien estate would allow for licensing of derivative works. There's so much fine material out there, and it's a shame that it never gets past a handful of websites. In the meantime, you can buy all the Frodo bobbleheads you want. :[
