Chathol-linn
Greetings to all lovers of the genius of Tolkien and also Peter Jackson, whose great films awoke imaginations across the globe. I like to read about the Elves most of all, especially Legolas, Elrond, Arwen, Galadriel, and Luthien. I'll try well-written stories of any kind. I am most fond of strong female characters. I don't care much for AUs, major departures from canon, or writing that is not based in a solid knowledge of Tolkien's works. I like to write histories that fill gaps, have a plot and a resolution, and tell the reader something that he or she might not have known. I never post a story until I have written the last word. I will gladly beta-read works that appeal to my interest. My strengths as a beta are plot, character development, and plausibility. I am familiar with Tolkien's works and much of his source material, including languages. I'm competent in grammar, syntax, and spelling. I love to chat and get e-mail so drop me a line! Note my updated email address.

Lady Love an Outlaw - Parts 1 through 4
In which Gríma reaches the point of no return,Théodred's unexpected injury involves Éomer in a dangerous adventure, and Lothiriel meets the love of her life - in a way that complies with the canon that says they met after the Ring War. Caution - Part 4 is rated R for graphic sex. All 4 parts of this story are complete. I published them sequentially during October and November, 2003. I did some revising in March and April 2004. I am taking this opportunity to put all 4 chapters in one place.

Wie Legolas sich als Bogenschütze erwies
I was delighted when Cúthalion, an excellent writer, selected my story "How Legolas Proved His Bowmanship" to translate into German. Thank you,Cúthalion! Here's how it looks. Or you can visit her site at this URL: www.cuthalionsbogen.de The story itself is about Legolas in his early years: Early Adventures #1 in fact. Regards - Chathol-linn
