Hi, Tinni! Nice to see a new face around! You have entered a slightly
frazzled MEFA at this time because of some argument about slash that
I haven't followed because for me, it doesn't apply (seeing as how I
don't write slash). Would you mind providing a link to your site? I'd
like to check it out. My name is Gwathy (OL only) and I too write
Silm fanfic. You want a question? How about this one to get a
conversation going: what do you find easiest/most difficult when
writing Elves?

Taking a break from the slash discussion because that is just too tempting a
question.

Easiest? Legolas, Legolas, Legolas. Do I seem obsessed to you? (Do not
look in my office. Or on my car's license plate. Or my keychains. Or my
cubicle at work. Or my computer screens....)

Most difficult? Writing Tolkienesque. Thought I suppose that's for any
LOTRish stuff and not just Elves. But really that was the most intimidating
part to me about writing LOTR fanfic.

Hey Gwathy,
Nice to meet you. My site is at:
http://tinni.100megsfree5.com/canonNOfanon/index.html Hope you like
it.

And the answer to your question,

Easiest: Maglor... well basically all the sons of Feanor except
Maedhros. Maedhros says I don't have enough angst in my life to truly
understand him. But still I have managed to write him into a fic or
two. It's amazing what Maedhros will let you do with him if you
threaten to hurt his darling little brothers. :D

Hardest: Sindar elves in general. They refuse to enter my brain since
its filled with the sons of Feanor. *sigh* Life is so not fair.
