come feed the rain

To the Flashpoint fans on my flist, I've started posting the fic I've been working on at FanFiction.Net!

Breathe @ FanFiction.Net
Summary: When Keira Ford left her home at 18, she never looked back. Now a rookie at the SRU, she's done everything she can to bury her past. But when Team One gets a new recruit, she's forced to confront the reasons why she left... and the one she had to stay.

Is it a Mary Sue? Possibly. Do I care? Nope. =D

As some of you may or may not know, I've spent the past seven years (almost eight... O.O) working on a massively long Lord of the Rings fanfiction. Called The Rohan Pride Trilogy - don't judge, I was in sixth grade - it's actually more of a quadrilogy, since the "epilogue" I'm currently writing is longer than the trilogy itself.

A reader on FanFiction.Net recently asked me via Formspring if I would ever upload .pdfs of the Rohan Pride Trilogy, and, since I coincidentally had just done so for a friend, I decided to post them here for anyone to read.

General Summary: Until her twelfth birthday, Gúthwyn daughter of Éomund had everything: her siblings, Éowyn and Éomer; her cousin, Théodred; her uncle, Théoden. But when she is kidnapped and sold into slavery, she is exposed to a dark, comfortless world and forced to endure unspeakable atrocities. When she at last escapes from the horrors of Isengard and Mordor, leaving behind the body of the man she loves, she finds that it is not so easy to outrun the memories. Only with the help of her family and friends—and possibly a husband—can she finally begin to let go of her fears.

Warnings: Rape and torture scenes. Most of these are in the first book, although there are periodic flashbacks throughout the trilogy and the epilogue. Some of these may be triggering for victims. [Note: There are no individual chapter warnings on the .pdf files, though I am working on adding them to the chapters on FanFiction.Net.]

Part I: Alone
The first part of The Rohan Pride Trilogy. Taken from her family at the age of twelve, Gúthwyn spends her teenage years in slavery. The horrors she witnesses culminate in one devastating assignment from the Dark Lord: find the One Ring and kill the Halfling who carries it. Gúthwyn has no desire to assist the Enemy, but if she wants the freedom of her children she has no other choice.

Part II: Reunions
Her mission discovered by the Fellowship, and forced to help find Merry and Pippin by a furious Aragorn, Gúthwyn follows the Three Hunters into the heart of Rohan... and back home. Once reunited with her family, she must help in the defense of Helm's Deep against her former master Saruman. Always in the back of her mind, however, are the children she left behind in Mordor... and the price she will pay if she does not bring the Ring to Sauron.

Part III: Terms
As the fighting throughout Middle-earth escalates, Gúthwyn struggles to come to terms with what happened to her in Isengard and Mordor. At the same time, she makes a plan to rescue the children from Mordor—one that involves handing herself over to the Dark Lord.

The epilogue is not currently available as a .pdf, since I need to go through it and get rid of the notes I sometimes write to myself within the chapters - not to mention the ten unpublished chapters that I've already written. =)

*dies*

I almost just had a heart attack.

I logged onto FanFiction.Net to see if I had any new reviews for my story (the series of which I've been working on since sixth grade), and when I went to my profile page it was gone.

Thank God, it just turned out to have something to do with the way the stories were being arranged in my profile (it switched from "Last Updated" to "Status," which meant that all my complete fics were at the top), but in the meantime I was already drafting a furious letter to the assholes who run that site! Ugh.
