6th January. It's a new year! I hope you had a good holiday!

And I haz plans. I have one Draco/Hermione story to finish in the next couple of weeks, and then it's back to Legolas and Eowyn, Hentmire, Gimli... and another familiar face... in A green-blooded fish has been found in the sea.

I've been re-reading what I've already written, and can see where it's going, at last, so look out for the first chapter, which should appear early in February...

 

 

30th November. It's time for the seasonal snow, and our traditional 'advent' calendar!

The story is called The Dead Forest and, in addition to Legolas and Eowyn, it will feature Arador, and some pretty nasty human villains! I hope you enjoy it.

And I'm posting the first four parts in advance because I'm going away for a long weekend and I'm not sure if I'll have Internet access whilst I'm away :-)

I love the way she uses text.

 

 

9th September. Eryn Carantaur is now hosted by a different hosting company. During the changeover, you may have had trouble finding it, but I hope that everything is back to normal now!

As a result of the move, however, I've managed to lose the site Mailing List. I haven't completely given up hope of getting it back but, in the meantime, if you'd still like to receive emails when the site is updated, just email me again and I'll create a new list.

...

Over the last week or so, I've finally got around to revising Shadowland. I'd never been totally happy with it, and it had been preying on my mind! I haven't changed the plot, but I've given it a good editing, re-written some of the sections so it's clearer when the story changes point-of-view, and I've neatened up a lot of the dialogue so that it contributes better to the plot.

I've also made 30 pretty new banners for it!

So it's now the featured story :-)

...

I'm supposed to be writing A green-blooded fish, so I've started working on Winter Magic again! I've only been making new banners so far, but they've really got me thinking...

 

 

2nd August. Woo-oo, a new story!

 

woo-oospacer

 

It's called The White Ladies of Eryn Carantaur, and it's a continuation of the ghost story I began last Halloween. It was written for a LiveJournal challenge, so it starts with a Prologue designed to introduce new readers to Eryn Carantaur; if you prefer, you can jump straight to the new part, here:

 

The White Ladies...

Otherwise, click the button on the right to start at the beginning!

...

Speaking of ghost stories, I remember writing a very short one (in 2005!), called Eowyn's Tale, which I was quite pleased with, so I've made it the 'featured story'.

...

I've signed up for another LiveJournal challenge. This time the theme is 'a journey', and I've decided it's time our friends went back to Carhilivren (just for a while). I've also had a few other ideas for future stories:

5th January. The Yuletide Calendar's finished!!

Hope you enjoyed it :-)

I have lots more ideas for stories and, although I'm writing very slowly at the moment, I will keep working on them, so there will be more updates!

 

25th December. Merry Christmas!

I'm running late, as usual, but I aim to have the epilogue to the Yuletide Calendar posted tomorrow. I've also had an idea for a tiny story starring Melannen and Eldarion, which I hope to write during the holiday, and then I'll be finishing The White Ladies!

Hope you have a great holiday!

 

1st December. It's the Christmas season!

So the snow is back on the front page -- I love that snow! -- and I've started posting a Yuletide Calendar. I'm aiming to post a part per day, but you know me, so don't worry if I get a bit behind.

This story looks like being slightly darker than usual, & I hope you'll enjoy it.

And look out for the sparkles on the doors this year :-)

 

31st October. "Well," as Samwise Gamgee says, "I'm back!"

And I plan to stay!

I'm sorry I've been away so long. I haven't stopped writing, but I found I needed to take a break from my Legolas/Eowyn stories for a while and, as therapy, I've been writing lots of Draco/Hermione stories (see below for more details). It's been fun, writing new and, in Draco's case, complex characters, and dealing with magic, and I think I've learned a lot from writing them.

But I've been missing Legolas and Eowyn :-(

So...

I've started a new short(ish) ghost story (since it's Halloween), called The White Ladies of Eryn Carantaur, which I hope to finish before Christmas! I'll also be doing the usual Yuletide Calendar, which will feature the two wise women we met in the third part of the Little Eowyn story, A Memory.

And then it will be back to Winter Magic!

...

I know that pairings are a matter of personal taste but, in case you're interested, I've listed my Draco/Hermione stories below, with links and summaries. All the stories are set after the books, when Draco and Hermione are grown up but, in some cases, they ignore the Epilogue.

I have two more Draco/Hermione stories already written (which I'll be posting shortly) and I've committed myself to writing a third, which will have a Christmas theme.

 

The Beginning Everywhere Hermione looks, Draco's there, watching her. Does he really love her, or are his intentions more sinister?

Cottage in a Cornfield Hermione's doing voluntary work, Draco's marriage is over. Neither is happy. What can they do about it?

The love match Draco wants Hermione. What does she want?

Draco Malfoy and the Face of Death A few days before his wedding, Draco's murky past catches up with him.

The third date Their first and second dates were perfect in all respects but one; what will happen on their third?

Draco's Secret Nineteen years later, Draco tries to put things right.

The Mask Draco's wife has disappeared.

Quid Pro Quo Ron loses more than his shirt at Draco's gaming tables.

Dramione drabbles A collection of 100-word stories.

A few thoughts about future stories.

The following bits and pieces are Work (or, rather, Ideas) in Progress...

 

a green-blooded fish has been found in the sea

Legolas, Eowyn and Hentmirë return to the Bay of Carhilivren in search of Hentmirë’s long-lost cousin—yes, that's the Early Bird in the background! But what is the secret of the green-blooded fish?

 

the dragon tower

Legolas and Eowyn take little Melannen to visit the Dragon Tower (which Legolas promised to build at the end of A Yuletide Dragonhunt). But someone is up to no good...

A Yuletide Dragonhunt
A clue!

 

my love has to the greenwood gone

A band of outlaws has taken up residence in Eryn Carantaur, and is terrorising travellers on the road to Caras Arnen. A continuation of The servant and the lady.

The servant and the lady
The outlaws' hideout!

 

my love has to the greenwood gone

Rebellion has errupted in the north of Rohan, but Berkin is on the case. Under seige, he sends Lëonórwyn to Edoras for help, and Legolas and Eowyn ride to the rescue.

 

The land of lost content

A gentle scholar, a teacher at the Academy of Minas Tirith, has invented something he believes will improve the lot of all mankind. One of his colleagues disagrees. Legolas and Eowyn investigate his death and the disappearance of his life's work.

 

The healer's apprentice

Celegorm has a secret that sets him apart from other elves. When a terrible disaster strikes Eryn Carantaur, one of the victims asks for his help...

 

isle of the dead

A strange plague is spreading through Laketown...

 

And two more stories that do not fit into the cycle...

Spoiler: The ShieldmaidenHelm's Deep

Helm's Deep: whilst seeking renown, Eowyn instead wins the love of two elves... A story based on the Movie scripts but including lots of 'missing scenes': Legolas' first sight of Eowyn in the Golden Hall; Eowyn's bravery in the Glittering Caves; Haldir's brush with death; Elrond's thoughts at Dunharrow; Gimli's unsolicited advice; Legolas' accidental eavesdropping in the House of Healing...

 

Spoiler: The tenth walker!

Eowyn joins the fellowship! Don't ask me how: I don't know yet. But it just has to be done.
