PPC Rec Center/Huinesoron's List

Fair warning: I barely read fanfiction any more, so most of this is very old. Second fair warning: the ones that stick in my head are the long ones. You may lose large amounts of your day if you're foolish enough to listen to my recommendations.

Lord of the Rings/The Silmarillion
The Leithian Script by Philosopher at Large. Rated T-ish Brothers In Arms by the Nightrunners. Rated T
 * Not quite finished, apparently abandoned. The link is a mirror.
 * [mailto:P@L P@L] suggests beverage and sanity warnings...
 * The infamous dark-humorous “screenplay” version of the story of Beren and Luthien — and Huan — and pretty much everyone else in First Age Middle-earth, too, either directly or by inference, as paths cross calamitously.
 * This story - script - shaped my conception of the First Age and everyone in it. The Valar, Finrod, the Sons of Feanor, Nargothrond, the Halls of Mandos - this is where my images of it come from. The imagery and interplay is incredible, and the research she put in is stunning. Read This if you have a spare month or so.
 * Finished, with one unfinished sequel
 * Warned for (fictional) drug use.
 * AU Modern-Day. Warning: Do *not* perform CPR on the elf unless you want to drastically screw up your life.
 * This is one of several 'Fellowship in Modern Earth' stories I used to read, and it has the most staying power. They're reincarnated, without much of their memories, and, oh yeah, this is a 'modern earth' where magic exists in conjunction with technology. It's also funny, unlike many of the others.

Author Recommendation
Cirdan. Hilarious/serious Middle-earth stories gallore, ranging from Feanor reforging the One Ring, to sad little boy Earendil, to Finrod challenging Sauron to a rematch... Cirdan is one of my consistantly favourite authors online.
