Question - Excerpt

As an excerpt from my modern romance, what would you prefer?

A short excerpt, quick to read?

or a long ass whole chapter (3 k words)?

the first editing pass is done on chapter 2 and it would be a good chapter to present the two main characters. And I would feel comfortable to share it (also I am not convinced people will like it but that's what come with writing) but... it's long.

Asking you specifically : @ass-deep-in-demons @konartiste, @annab99awritersdream, @frodothefair, @from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras

[annab99awritersdream]

So...today I answered an ask about my dream fic plot and I say that it would villain redemption story. While that is true, I am aware that I can't write it myself. I lack the experience to actually write it well and giving any villain a redemption arc kind of means that the story has a happy ending...? If you know me even just a little bit, you'll probably guess it's not really my cup of tea. I'm a sucker for angst and tragedy and that's what I feel most comfortable writing. Which is why I decided I will indeed attempt to write a villain story, but it will be more of a character study. The main character will be a fallen Maia named Moyeldë (one of the many OCs that will appear in my main WIP The Lady of Ithilien and additional one-shots/snippets related to it) who is basically Sauron's main love interest (or so she thinks) in the Fourth Age. Our little fiery Maia comes back and does some stuff, but that will be addressed in LOI.

This new project is about Moyeldë (her name was given to her by Morgoth when she followed him in the aftermath of his rebellion against Eru and it is Quenya for "slave-daughter"=> I combined Mól=slave and Yeldë=daughter).

She's always been in love with Mairon and had a major rivalry with Thuringwethil as the both of them wanted to be his one true love. It is my headcanon that Mairon had a whole Harem in Angband and enslaved Elf-maidens as well as Maiarin women fought one another all the time to be THE ONE FAVORITE. Since it is unclear how Thuringwethil died, it is my headcanon that it was Moyeldë who finished her with Mairon's full support and approval. (Huan only wounded her).

Moyeldë will be eventually killed by Eonwë in LOI, but this new fic will explore her whole life (or maybe just parts of it) and her descent into madness and her delusions as she becomes more and more ruthless. It's a character study basically.

Fancast for Moyeldë is Meryem Uzerli, specifically her role as Hürrem Sultan in the show Muhteşem Yüzyıl (Magnificent Century). She has a slightly unhinged, psycho quality to her that I think fits Moyeldë perfectly.

Crowns and jewels all made by Mairon himself of course.

Here is a little edit of the evil power couple by yours truly.

She doesn't need to know he doesn't give a flying f about her. She is just a concubine to him, a slave who happens to be more useful to him than others.

She's literally admiring him and he's clearly about to scold her. That's their usual dynamic.

Let me know what you think! Does it sound like something you'd like to read? (I will probably write it anyway, but I would like to hear your opinion ☺️)

Thanks!

TOLKIEN OC WEEK 2024-DAY 3

Prompt: Alternate Universes

Title: An arranged marriage

(Pairing=> Faramir x OC)

!MAJOR SPOILERS FOR MY MAIN WIP THE LADY OF ITHILIEN!

(link in general masterlist)

Synopsis/Context:

Year 16 of the Fourth Age of the Sun.

The Steward of Gondor takes a new wife. Éowyn of Rohan—his first wife and mother of his daughter Elenna—lies entombed in her native land, as she died giving birth to their son Elboron five years prior. Despite her heroic actions during the War, the Lady of the Shield-Arm had always been looked down upon by her Gondorians contemporaries and her daughter, who happens to be betrothed to Crown Prince Eldarion, has been subjected to mockery, derision and even physical abuse (often due to jealousy) because of her mother's perceived inferior status. Gondorians deeply despise the people of the Riddermark and Elenna is worried her brother—Éowyn's spitting image—might one day be treated even worse than she is. In her mind, Elboron needs a new mother. A Gondorian mother. She and King Elessar arrange Faramir's marriage to Finduilas, the youngest daughter of Angbor the Fearless, lord of Lamedon. Faramir and his new bride have barely spoken to one another and Angbor only accepts Aragorn's arrangement because he opines his daughter needs to marry (she had previously rejected all of her suitors and, at nearly thirty, is still unmarried which is cause of great shame in Gondorian society). Angbor sees this as a golden opportunity, a blessing from the Valar and the two of them are betrothed at once.

They don't know one another and they don't love one another. Faramir is still in love with his late wife and only accepts to marry Finduilas for his children's sake.

Here is an edit which sums up the circumstances of their union.

This is how I imagine them to be on their wedding day. A pretty miserable affair. She's attracted to him but she's afraid she won't make him happy and he's deeply unhappy because he is essentially getting married against his will.

They will eventually fall in love (though I suppose Faramir will always be in love with Éowyn) and will have two children, Faelivrin (named after her mother and grandmother) and Eradan. [Both of them are OCs].

I like to think of Finduilas as a slightly more refined version of Éowyn. Sophisticated, educated but also fierce and headstrong.

Here is a solo Finduilas edit/moodboard.

The silver dress you can kind of see in the moodboard is how I imagine her wedding gown to be like.

Fancast is Laura Berlin from the tv show Vikings: Valhalla.

The Lamedon banner and the one of Minas Tirith, which I used them in the first edit. You can see them in their entirety down below.

I really like the colors and I think they complement each other pretty well.

Since I plan to be writing about them very shortly in my main wip The Lady of Ithilien, I thought I would share a few edits and keep what I have written for the actual fanfic. 😊

I think it's reasonable. Thank you for checking out this post and please let me know what you think!

@lucifers-legions

I hope you like how I edited your favorite family. I love them so very much.

PSA: Go read @lucifers-legions' Garo Estel and subscribe to her AO3 account to make sure you don't miss any updates. Her writing is impeccable, trust me. Garo Estel is the prequel to Garthad Estel that she's currently working on and it's posted on both AO3 and Tumblr.

Cousins 😊

Enna and her Half-elven cousin Erien. She's a late addition to my LOI character profiles and she's Boromir's daughter. She was raised in Rivendell and trained by Elladan and Elrohir, she has a twin brother named after their father. Yes, you got it right. Boromir son of...Boromir. The twins' mother is an Elf-maiden I'm sure Boromir had some feelings for, but of course they could not reunite because I'm an evil person and I'm following canon.

As Boromir was unmarried (and most likely already a corpse) when his children were born, the twins are illegitimate and the lady of ithilien will dismiss them because of it. They'll grow close as the years go by though and Enna will name her third child and second son after "Boromir son of Boromir" (it sounds like a tongue-twister in my head, could you help me in coming up with a decent nickname that isn't "B" or something like that? Though I really like B, I think it's pretty basic. Opinions and suggestions are welcome 🤗)

I really like this edit and I'll probably make more. I honestly would love to make an edit of an AU where Boromir survives and meets his children. Too bad I don't have a faceclaim for their Elven mom yet. She may or may not show up eventually.

Sorry for this very useless post. Just jotting down random thoughts.

Erien and her brother (fancast: Max Irons) are still very underdeveloped, but I can't wait to write about them. They joined the party really late, but I really like them. They're among my favorite characters and I think they deserve a whole spin-off dedicated to them.

[annab99awritersdream]

I finally included these two in my character profiles! It took me way too long...

Also, he has a name now!

Let me introduce you to...*drum roll*

ELEMIR!

Ahmir + Eledhwen

Both of them are OCs. She's Halbarad's eldest daughter and he's a Haradrim lord. He was originally supposed to die in some sort of tragic, horrific way, but I think I'll spare him? They're so cute, I really don't want to tear them apart.

Alas, I am a sucker for angst and drama so...who knows what will happen. She was supposed to fall in love with a major canon character after Ahmir's death.

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

I guess I'll just stare at them for a while.

After the quest of the Silmaril is completed, Enna—who had herself been traveling through Beleriand—stumbles upon the Sons of Fëanor who have sworn their Oath and are looking for the stolen Silmarils. Among them, a young Noldo takes notice of the girl and the seeds of a forbidden romance are planted. The two of them flee together and their love blossoms, until she's captured by the lieutenant of Morgoth and tortured in his fortress of Angband. Will the two lovers be able to reunite?

Snippets

Also to be posted on AO3!

[annab99awritersdream]

Not me trying to edit scenes from my fic.

My baby Enna was so innocent. Look at her. She was just a child. A child whose head was filled with so many stories; a young lady who loved her family and her books. A child whose life was forever ruined by *Ioreth* and a fiery Maia she thought of as a trusted friend. Her only friend.

She trusted him and he manipulated her, exploited her and eventually betrayed her (no surprise here, though).

The only good thing about this is that he kind of (but not really) set Elenwë up. That's pretty much it, I'd say.

Mackenzie Foy as teen Enna (main faceclaim: Synnøve Karlsen)

Charlie Vickers as Mairon/Annatar (I have to admit that he does look the part. He looks like he's balding a little, but everything else is on point. If only he had been allowed to use golden contacts...oh well...it matters not)

[annab99awritersdream]

Little mini-edit of Enna and Elarien. Hope you like it 😊

Elarien also deserves a whole spin-off. Perhaps my favorite OC excluding Enna and her children.

Another practice edit
