Elf Academy 4 - The Unfinished Tales  by Fiondil 27 Review(s)

Hello,

What's the update, please?

This story is never going to be finished, is it? I take it that you have developed it as much as you'll ever be able to. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been over a year since you last posted a chapter. That really is a shame, because I would have so loved to see how it ended!

As another fanfiction author, I have a request to make of you. Dreamflower and I are in the process of co-writing a novel-length LOTR story, which we have just begun to post. We have asked permission of SoA to commence posting it here, and we're waiting for their reply. Glorfindel is one of the characters in ours.

Is is all right if Dreamflower and I draw on the back story that Fiondil gave Glorfindel whenever the need arises? The trouble with relying solely on the history that Tolkien gave him is that there is so little of it. I really love the additional history that Fiondil gave him, and I should like to draw on it if I may. If Fiondil were still alive, I would, of course, ask him but since he's not, I am asking you. If Dreamflower and I do use it, we will give the credit to Fiondil for developing it and thanks to you for letting us use it.

So long as Fiondil gets the credit for what he did, go ahead and feel free to use in your stories the back story he created.

Please do what you need to do in your RLs! I am grateful for your work and while I would love to see anything more, it has been such a gift already - thank you. KathareinVALAR

So when will this continue?

Been waiting too long. Come on whoever it is managing this.

The story will not be updated since Shemyazza has died earlier this year.

Author Reply: Shemyazza is very much alive. Her only sister and her dear cousin both passed away in the last few months. Neither of us have had the time or resources available to work on Fiondil's story as we had hoped we would. Perhaps we will get to it later. We simply don't know.

Are you not going to finish this story after all? Is it going to remain in permanent hiatus? It's been almost a year now since it was last updated, and it looks as if it's never going to be continued. That is going to be a real shame.

Dearest Beta Sisters for Fiondil,

I have missed your work on his behalf. Some fans have become dishearted and said good-bye, but there are many of us who are still waiting for the closing chapters. I believe many of us would be satisfied with even the finishing outlines to Fiondil's work other than stay in limbo. Closure with the last "adventure" for the elves in modern times feels needed. However, I do have a suggestion. If possible see if TolkienScribe can assist. Fiondil enjoyed his work, and he has written of Elves in our time and dealing with the Dagor Dagorath. I miss Fiondil's creative imagination within the world of Tolkien. It was a wonderful sandbox at the end of a busy day or week. Elessar, have hope.

Sincerely,
Arasinda

Ouch, sorry to hear that! Recovering from surgery's no fun, I know, especially when you have to endure pain in the process. Please tell Shemyazza she's got our best wishes!

Will the next four chapters finish the story, then, or will it have to remain in a state of permanent hiatus once the fourth and last chapter has been posted?

KathyGReviewed Chapter: 59 on 7/14/2017
You've come to the final chapter that can be posted, haven't you? The story cannot be finished, and that's a real shame. Well, we all thank for for all of the chapters that you were able to post for us. At least we got to see how part of the story goes. If only Fiondil could have lived long enough to finish it!


Author Reply: I think that actually there are 4 more chapters. Shemyazza has them, but she is recovering from a painful, long-awaited surgery for the next several weeks.

Dear Ellie, Shemyaza and Mari,

I've had a lot of family stuff going on these days and I know you have too, off and on, everyone has RL difficulties. I hope all's well with you all now or as much as it can be. The world is quiet here, for now.

We all greatly miss our Fiondil, and if there's anything I can do to help with this story I'm here.

If this is truly to remain my heart-Atto's Unfinished Tales, I understand, and I want you three Beta Amigas to know I love and respect you for getting as far as you did with it. I hope we'll remain in contact and you won't just fade away, you, me and our fellow Fiondilie.

Tye-melin,

Kaylee Arafinwiel,

yelde indonyo to Atto Fiondil

Author Reply: Thank you very much for the offer of assistance. Shemyaza is recovering from surgery right now, and we haven't discussed anything related to the story for a long time due to extenuating circumstances on both of our parts.
