-+- How I Accidentally Dark Lorded Arda (LOTR SI) -+- Prologue “And then I was like, ‘No dad! I wanna do Rock and Roll! It’s my passion!’ ” "Okay." “And then he was all like, ‘No son! You will do classical with the rest of your extended family and join the family orchestra! I will hear no...

The World didn’t end with a bang. It ended with big WOOMP! In rapid succession, with 5-minute intervals, five worlds of magic suddenly cried out in horror, and were suddenly silenced, and then cried some more for good measure. Deep in the center of the land of Ulthuan, the Great Vortex that...

(Pick 5 settings from anything, be it a fictional medium or real life. Note that I'm not omniscient so please don't hate me if I get some details wrong for each setting. Note also that you won't necessarily see these settings immediately but they will exist in the world of this quest) Edit...

All shall Fear her and Rejoice (Worm/Shadow of Mordor) Chapter 1 It’s amazing how quickly one’s situation can change…drastically. One moment, you’re walking through the 46’ plant to get to the kettle just like any other day at the work, the next, a wire’s snapped, and a four-thousand-pound...

"Thus it came to pass in that time that the Númenóreans first made great settlements upon the west shores of the ancient lands; for their own land seemed to them shrunken, and they had no rest or content therein, and they desired now wealth and dominion in Middle-earth, since the West was...

1) All disclaimers apply: The Hobbit, The Silmarillion and all related work were the property of The Good Professor and presently belongs to The Tolkien Estate. Kantai Collection belongs to Kadokawa Games/DMM. I own little more than the words I write. 2) This story was initially posted on SB...

I get that the finale has come and gone, and that people have mostly made up their minds about both it and Game of Thrones as a whole. But I want to talk about it for a sec, even if the audience is a bit small and the subject is a bit stale. While originally writing this, I veered into many...

Three alone he made and kindled slow in the land of the Valar long ago, three only, and in every one the light that was before the sun Long ago, before the Hobbit and his quest, before the One Ring was forged, before Gandalf ever walked the shores of Middle-Earth, there was another...

AN: This is a revised version of one of my oldest poems. Added some new verses and wholly reinvented almost every rhyme scheme. Enjoy. A Lament For Numenor or The Akallabeth, in Five Parts "...And even the name of that land perished, and Men spoke thereafter not of Elenna, nor of Andor the...

Introduction 296 AL Gondor, the Eighth Kingdom, home to the citadel Minas Tirith, the citadel of the Dunedain kings of old, capital of a broken people and broken men. The line of Isildur and Elendil all but spent. A Thousand Years ago, the Men of the west lived for centuries, stood above...

It's Crack Friday! ------- "Doom! For you who have forsaken the ways..." Mandos began but trailed off. Something was very wrong. He was at the top of a great tower of white porcelain and glass. The tower was part of some massive citadel in a vast city. Chariots flew through the air outside...

You were Sauron, the great deciever, liuetenant of Morgoth, Inheritor of his vision...if from a different point of view. And you have been thrown down forever more in Middle Earth. Diminished beyond recognition, and doomed to watch all that you tried to build in your-in his name undone. Yet all...

The Darkest Time V2 We are at the end of the Second Age of the Sun and the world is falling into darkness Terrible were the wars of the First Age, when the Elves come from the Uttermost West and the Fathers of Men escaped from the Shadow fought Morgoth Bauglir, Power of Corruption and Hatred to...

I looked all over, checking multiple times to be sure, and I don't think there has ever been a Tolkien fanfic thread before on SV to my great surprise, despite the tons of quests and fanfics and crossovers about it. If I missed it and there actually was one, point it out to me so we can merge...

I noticed a fair number of people, including dragons, that were generally more powerful than Morgoth in MTG. I'm curious, how powerful would a fully powered Morgoth be in Magic The Gathering? Morgoth has all the power of the Valar, and is generally considered to be second in power only to Eru...

It is the year 2946 of the Third Age, and the lands east of the Misty Mountains are astir. From the cloud-shrouded peaks above the High Pass to the spider-infested gloom of the forest of Mirkwood, paths long-deserted are trodden once again. Busy merchants carry their wares to new markets...

[JUSTIFY] The Fall of Arnor --- Arnor has never possessed the luck of it's southern counterpart. Sorely bled by the Siege of Barad-dûr and the death of Isildur, the strength of Arnor has waned, not waxed, over the centuries, so much so that when it was split in three by the sons of...

Once Upon A Time : Rewritten Regina has ruled Storybrook as it's so-called Mayor for decades now, as a young, un-aging individual. Yes, she cast the Dark Curse. Serving as her right hand man, is Ganondorf, now remembered as "George Waldorf". Along with Regina's second in command George Waldorf...

Master of Wood, Water and Hill A different Fell Winter makes literally all the difference for Middle Earth, though Bilbo Baggins really didn't see any reason to worry about that or anything besides the next piece of Music. -------------------- The Shire – 1: Bag End “-. .-“...

January 25, TA 3019. Moria The Istari Olorin, more commonly known as Mithrandir or Gandalf, was exhausted. How many hours, how many days, had passed since his battle had begun? Long ago he had lost all sense of time, his mind focusing ever more on simple survival. He had fallen through...

Since I have too many ideas, I figured I’d put pen to paper and show some of them. So this will be the thread that I will occasionally post stuff in that has the potential to be a full story but probably won’t be unless there is vocal support.

AN: I thought of this after reading Dungeon Keeper Ami, and thought what would happen if one of my favorite characters went into her original world. So with the power of google, I now know the setting (using anime version because manga is too OP) and made this. You don’t need knowledge of either...

Black Númenórean Quest So, I want to write a Lord of the Rings quest with a Black Numenorean protagonist, which I have never seen before. Basically I want it to have an adventure like feel, rather being power-creep, munchining, or CK2 based. I probably will use rolls, but just to make things...
