WIP Nominations Pt 2 (Last of the WIPs) Posted by Marta Layton June 24, 2006 - 13:54:45 Topic ID# 7166
Story ID: 670 · "The Golden Mask" by kwannom · (Incomplete: Epic)
Rating: R  War like violence, sexual situations and strong language.
First Choice Category  Times: Second Age
Story's URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1603658/1/
Story Summary: Sauron has the One Ring and Middle Earth is suffering in
the hands of the Orcs' armies. Elves and Men decide to make an alliance
against the Dark Lord, and they are searching for great warriors from
both races to lead their armies. These warriors are the Chosen Ones and
one of them is Haldir, the Captain of the Golden Wood. Haldir is then
sent to watch a human warrior called Golden Mask and prove that the man
can be one of them. In the meanwhile, Haldir has to prepare for the
battle of his life and deal with the discovery of something that is
going to change the future.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 330 · "The Return of the Shadow" by juno_magic · (Incomplete:
Epic)
Rating: R  Mature themes: explicit sex and violence in some chapters.
First Choice Category  Genres: Alternate Universe
Story's URL: http://tolkienfanfiction.com/Story_Read_Chapter.php?CHid=2472
Story Summary: "The Return of the Shadow" is the sequel of both "The
Tides of Time and the Bones of the Earth" and "Only a Game". It also
ties in with "Lothíriel - The Tenth Walker Novel". It is based in part
on book, in part on movie canon, but most of all on the canon of the
"Juniverse". It is the story of a misplaced elf, living homeless in the
streets of Berlin and a Tolkien scholar in her late thirties. Meeting
Elentar, a homeless street musician, Mina does not realize that he is
more than a vagabond. She is merely intrigued by him because he sings in
Sindarin. In time, the story reveals who Elentar is, how he came to be
here on earth, and maybe it will even accompany him back to
Middle-earth... "The Return of the Shadow" is only the first book of a
series called "The Fourth Theme of the Ainulindalë". I expect the book
to be completed at about 30 chapters, around a quarter of the whole series.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 706 · "Eternal" by Trekqueen · (Incomplete: Epic)
Rating: PG-13  The rating of PG-13 is appropriate for this story
because there are more adult themes concerning violent situations in
war/battles (not that different from what was included in the LOTR
movies), death, and romantic liaisons but no sexual details, only goes
as far as implied.
First Choice Category  Genres: Romance
Story's URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1773341/1/
Story Summary: "Eternal" begins in the early years of the First Age
while Glorfindel is visiting family and friends in Tirion. While there,
he meets a young elleth named Elrilya who is a friend of his cousin's
daughter Idril. They become quick friends when suddenly their world in
Valinor is plunged into darkness and uncertainty. Both wonder about
their destinies and purpose in this changed world as they are faced with
decisions that will forever dictate the way they live their lives.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 51 · "The River" by Indigo Bunting · (Incomplete: Epic)
Rating: PG-13  Rated for perilous situations. Some violence.
First Choice Category  Genres: Action/Adventure
Story's URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4135
Story Summary: The Fellowship must cross a river before it can enter the
land of Hollin, a river that turns out to be the stuff of Samwise
Gamgees nightmares.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 490 · "On Frozen shores" by ann_arien · (Incomplete: Short Story)
Rating: G
First Choice Category  Times: First Age
Story's URL: http://www.lotrfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?sid=8362
Story Summary: This AU story is based on a challenge to take a canon
fact and change it. So, what if the Host of the Noldor did not go into
exile divided? What if Feanor and his close followers did not leave the
others behind?... This short story raises many questions and answers
only a few.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 682 · "Man of Gondor" by LittleHobbitGal · (Incomplete: Short
Story)
Rating: PG  Some violence
First Choice Category  Times: The Great Years
Story's URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1748924/1/
Story Summary: While Faramir lies in the Houses of Healing, Boromir
awakes in the Halls of Mandos and finds himself experiencing his
brothers memories, dreams, and nightmares.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 640 · "Shadows of a Nameless Fear" by Budgielover ·
(Incomplete: Medium Length)
Rating: PG-13  Deals with dark subjects and contains violence.
First Choice Category  Times: The Great Years
Story's URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2933712/1/
Story Summary: The Ring-bearer's return to health after the destruction
of the Ring is reflected all about him in the rebuilding of Minas
Tirith. But evil and danger remain in the White City, and the shadows
within Frodo's soul are just as much a danger to him as the shadows that
seek his life.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 786 · "Bad Step" by Mariole · (Incomplete: Novella)
Rating: PG  Some emotionally disturbing scenes when Sam is injured.
First Choice Category  Races: Hobbits
Story's URL: http://mariole.livejournal.com/71587.html
Story Summary: Sam fears that Frodo might run into trouble on his walk,
but runs into a predicament himself when he becomes trapped and injured.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 802 · "Reconciliation" by Willow_41z · (Incomplete: Medium Length)
Rating: PG-13  "Reconciliation" contains or touches on domestic abuse,
arranged marriages, wedding nights, and brief violence.
First Choice Category  Genres: Romance
Story's URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2861846/1/
Story Summary: Lady Lothiriel of Dol Amroth arrives in Rohan and weds

childbirth, and the attitudes of the Rohirrim towards her, as well as
forge a new life for herself in Rohan, while contending with extreme
homesickness.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 58 · "Fire and Flowering" by Raksha the Demon · (Incomplete:
Fixed-Length Ficlet Series)
Rating: R  three of the chapters are either erotic or sexually explicit
in nature.
First Choice Category  Genres: Romance
Story's URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4229
Story Summary: A series of self-contained fixed-length ficlets, from 100
to 900 words, focussing on Faramir and Eowyn's love life. Romantic and
erotic themes; along with a smidgeon of angst, horticulture, and marital
comedy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 624 · "In The Stillness Between Moments" by Elariel Erestorion
· (Incomplete: Novel)
Rating: PG-13  Character death, violence
First Choice Category  Times: Multi-Age
Story's URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2633050/1/
Story Summary: This story is up until this point a first person
perspective 'girl falls into Middle Earth' story. It begins in the year
2004 C.E. with a rather studious socially conscious university student
named Anne-Marie. She through as yet unexplained circumstances finds
herself in Beleriand at the fall of the Noldorin city of Gondolin. The
story recounts her time so far in Middle-Earth. This is a work in
progress. Summary from FF.net: I am Eruanna Mernaselde of the house of
the Tree, once I was called Anne Marie Buchanan and I will be known by
that name again. This is my story, a true story, although it all
occurred, in the stillness between two moments. LaiqualasseOC not Mary Sue
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 235 · "Tales of Life" by Ainu Laire · (Incomplete: Short Story)
Rating: PG  In one of them, there is battle and death, though not at
all graphic. In another, there are slight wounds. And in one more, there
is arguing and angst. So it is a very, very light PG rating... anyone
above the age of 8 should be fine for all of the ficlets, I think.
First Choice Category  Times: Multi-Age
Story's URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4625
Story Summary: A *series* of ficlets for a series of prompts which
include small excerpts of life experiences, everyday occurances, and
other such drabblings. Most, if not all ficlets shall have Aragorn as a
character. Most fit the 'general' category, but as that was not an
option, there are more drama ficlets than the others. There is a
combination of action/adventure and humor as well. And while there are
other races than 'men' in these drabbles, there are definitely more men
than other races.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 836 · "Untold Tales of the Mark: The Banishment of Eomer" by
Katzilla · (Incomplete: Epic)
Rating: PG-13  Battle-scenes, angst, violence, adult themes
First Choice Category  Genres: Alternate Universe
Story's URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2702185/1/
Story Summary: The Banishment of Éomer as a very dark AU tale, taking a
different course of events than either tin he movies or the books...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 907 · "Okay, NOW Panic!" by Boz4PM · (Incomplete: Epic)
Rating: PG-13  It's more to cover myself for battle scenes and extreme
angst at times, though the vast majority of the fic is G-rated.
First Choice Category  Times: The Great Years
Story's URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4272
Story Summary: This is the sequel to Dont Panic! In that fic Penelope
Baker (a twenty-four year old Tolkien fan who works in marketing) wakes
up in her pyjamas a few miles west of Bree and is then faced with all
the horrors of what it was REALLY like to live six thousand years ago in
Middle- earth (latrines of doom being possibly amongst the worst of
them). She is rescued by Halbarad, dour Ranger of the North, and taken
by him to Imladris to see Elrond due to the clear knowledge she has of
things she should not know, as well as her bizarre and extreme behaviour
as she battles with her own sanity while she slowly comes to the
realisation of just where she actually is. Once in Rivendell, arriving
only a day or two before the Council of Elrond, she is questioned and,
with much difficulty and Gandalfs help, manages to explain who she is,
where she has come from and how she knows of them all and their futures.
She then has to acquire a new language and new skills, and learn to fit
in, all th ...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 111 · "When Winter Fell" by Lindelea · (Incomplete: Medium Length)
Rating: PG  Battles with wolves. Famine. Canon character death.
First Choice Category  Races: Hobbits
Story's URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=3806
Story Summary: An echo from the past: During the "Fell Winter" young
Bilbo finds aid and insight in his great-grandfather's memories of the
Long Winter. <i>Warning: Character Death (canon)</i>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 198 · "The Tenth Walker" by Lindelea · (Incomplete: Other
Fixed-Length Ficlet)
Rating: G
First Choice Category  Races: Interspecies Interaction
Story's URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=3826
Story Summary: Probably been done before, and perhaps better, but Bill
the Pony gave my elbow a nudge this morning, causing me to spill my tea,
and he licked up all the sugar from the bowl, and is likely to make a
complete nuisance of himself if I don't write down his story. So here goes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 910 · "Book Learning" by Branwyn · (Incomplete: Short Story)
Rating: R  Rated R for sexual situations.
First Choice Category  Genres: Romance
Story's URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4792
Story Summary: "In the libraries of Minas Tirith, Faramir had learned
the abstract lore of numbers, the patterns of the stars, and the healing
secrets of herbs; yet his studies had not included this, the most arcane
of subjects." Rated R for acts of matrimony. Written in honor of Raksha
the Demon, loyal friend and beta-reader.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 845 · "The King's Surgeon" by SurgicalSteel · (Incomplete:
Novella)
Rating: R  Medically graphic material, references to violence, sexual
references
First Choice Category  Times: Late Third Age
Story's URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4732
Story Summary: Chronicles the life of an OFC surgeon from south to north
and back to south again - intrigue, politics, medically graphic
material, romance...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 952 · "A Bargain at any Price" by quizzabella · (Incomplete:
Novella)
Rating: PG-13  So far a kiss and some mild violence. It won't be much
more graphic than that as the story progresses.
First Choice Category  Genres: Romance
Story's URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2484932/1/
Story Summary: The youngest son of Dol Amroth finds fate can be a fickle
mistress... Amrothos/OC romance action adventure story.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 829 · "Frodo's Exciting Day Out" by Llinos · (Incomplete:
Medium Length)
Rating: G
First Choice Category  Genres: Humor
Story's URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2975383/1/
Story Summary: The Quest was a massive labour, of that there is no
doubt. However, in this little AU version, we see that it pays to have
friends in high places.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Story ID: 771 · "The Painting" by _chibimelody_ · (Incomplete: Short Story)
Rating: G
First Choice Category  Genres: Horror
Story's URL: http://www.scribeoz.com/fanfic/story.php?no=2319
Story Summary: Shameless self insertion, a heavy mix of SouthEast
culture with Tolkien's merry elves. Pictures are worth a thousand words,
it is said, but not in the way it usually entails...
