#“late numenor” is the only one of those Tolkien would tolerate ;D

[eri-pl]

I love the variety of the fics in the Silm fandom, including:

The Witch-King Goes To Hell (And We Are Very Very Very Clear About It)

Sauron Is Smol, Sad And Learns Knitting

The Hobbits Find a Silmaril And Somehow It's Wholesome And Noone Dies (I think this is a whole genre)

Maglor Was Sad: Technically A Crossover ("Maglor Is Sad" is a whole Ao3 tag)

Late Númenor. Just Late Númenor.

The Hilarious Divorce Of [a ship i don't ship but still love the fic] (there are at least 2 of those but one is more hilarious)

[edennill]

Other common tropes:

People Leaving Mandos Legally Or Illegaly

Elrond Calls Maglor Dad (Not My Headcanon But It's A Thing)

One Foreshadowing-Heavy Childhood

The Obligatory Thangorodrim Rescue Fic

Elwing And Eärendil Are (In Varying Amounts) Sad And Cute Together

re: tags:

#also redeeming sauron through the power of love and that one ship I don't ship (with some handwaving away of númenor if necessary)#/#“late numenor” is the only one of those Tolkien would tolerate ;D#<- is this a hidden compliment Eri

Númenor happenned after making of the rings, so I'm not sure why it would need handwaving.

I'm not sure how big of a compliment this is, not everyone's goal is to be tolerable by Tolkien (obviously), so it's more like "you achieved that goal, others didn't necessarily care about achieving it". But yes, it counts as a compliment.

“People leaving mandos illegally” is funny but — that's not how it works… I mean I respect people's right to write what they want, but it just doesn't work for me because my canon hurts too much. Also, the Feanorians leaving Mandos/Void by sheer stubbornness/Elrond. It is a thing, I think.

If I had more writing audacity than I have and more than I probably should have— ok, I probably shouldn't pester you with fic ideas doing the as you called it 'straight line"?
