come feed the rain

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. =)

( Here, have a fanmix )

One of the recent challenges at themiddleearth was to create a fanvid of anything related to The Lord of the Rings. I thought "Shots" would be an appropriate song. ;D

This video took so long to make... It was my first fanvid, actually, so I was a complete and total newbie to the process. I'm quite proud of how it turned out! =)

PETER JACKSON IS DIRECTING THE HOBBIT

THANK YOU, JESUS. ♥

As one of the challenges for themiddleearth, I made a picspam of Rohan (the coolest place ever) from The Lord of the Rings.



( Forth Eorlingas! )

Ironically, I am on Team Gondor. (But I would have been on Team Rohan if there had been one!)

Edit: partitioning did a very sexy Rohan picspam over here!

Hugo Weaving, Ian McKellan, and Andy Serkis confirmed for The Hobbit!

Words cannot describe how excited I am for this movie. As long as Peter Jackson's somewhere behind the camera, it will be epic.

Oh, and by the way?

Guillermo also spoke briefly about some other elements of The Hobbit, like about bringing in more subplots. "There is a whole other chapter, so to speak, which is the comings and going of Gandalf which are dealt with — people that know the lore know that Gandalf was delayed with a crisis… with a character that is very shady called the Necromancer that proves to be Sauron."

FUCK YES. Bring the Unfinished Tales on, bitches! =D

Holy shit.

Someone just made a FANVIDEO for my LOTR fanfic!

Look at the pretty!
