Notes
Personal notes of thanks
for those
who have helped and encouraged me
in developing
this series.
And other stuff when I think of it |
Soundtrack
(Updated
08/08)
Yes, I have made a
soundtrack for this series.
Yes, I am aware that it is
self-indulgent
but it's my series and my website,
so nyah. |
Illustrations
(Updated

Before you enter this page
(and if the banner didn't tip you off), you should know that
my illustrations are a bit removed from the movie
characters' images. Sorry. (Well, not really.) |

Needlepoint artwork
by
Estelanui
(Click for full-size image)
Please do not use image
without
the artist's express
permission.
According to the artist,
these are Yavanna's Trees,
Telperion and Laurelin,
meant to represent Frodo
(silver) and Merry (gold).
"They
are not shining and source[s] of light like Yavanna’s trees,
but silver Frodo and golden Merry bring a lovely life
quality in the Shire and in Middle-earth."
(I have
nothing intelligent to add to this because Estelanui has
made me an incoherent puddle of emotional weep. But I
know how difficult and involving needlepoint is. I'm
sure she'd appreciate
hearing from you, too.)

Movements

Interfolios

Chapters necessary to the
story as a whole.
All those pieces (both
movements and interfolios) marked with a * can be read as
stand-alones, but all movements are required for the
understanding
of the complete fic.
|
Insets not entirely necessary
to the fic-proper but which sometimes expand on a theme or
sub-plot.
And sometimes, they're just
for fun.
Those marked with a * can be
read as stand-alones.
