Stories of Arda
The world of J.R.R. Tolkien is owned by Tolkien Enterprises and/or New Line Cinema. No money is made from these stories. The stories are the intellectual property of the author(s) and should not be reproduced without their permission.
From their beginnings the chief difference between Elves and Men lay in the fate and nature of their spirits. The fear of the Elves were destined to dwell in Arda for all the life of Arda, and the death of the flesh did not abrogate that destiny. Their fear were tenacious therefore of life 'in the raiment of Arda', and far excelled the spirits of Men in power over that 'raiment', even from the first days protecting their bodies from many ills and assaults (such as disease), and healing them swiftly of injuries, so that they recovered from wounds that would have proved fatal to Men

Broken Glass by Conquistadora
I suppose you could say this is something like my own edition of Unfinished Tales, full of story fragments and character studies that really don't go much of anywhere, but involved too much work and thought for me to just delete them and be done with it. Until now they've been simply gathering virtual dust in the depths of my computer files, but now I bring them out into the light of day in the hopes that someone might enjoy them.
