Ok so a few of you have actually finished writing a Fan Fiction! I loved The Fairy Wife, I read it twice! But everyone is so god at writing! I can be good at times but I find that sometimes I start to make the book boring with my boring words! I mean Lawyers they can be very boring people and everyday while I study to be one my vocabulary gets more boring. What I mean is I write the first chapter, I notice I have terms in that chapter that lawyers use…. And these terms become I part of my speech!!! Now really who would like to read a book full of Law terms?

Everybody: If you send something to me, I might ask you to send it again. I have hotmail and my spamfilter is on the maximum level and since I don;t kow your e-mail adresses by heart(a real shame) you end up in the spam mails and I might accidently delete it.

Maybe if you write something Tolkien related, it will go away.

Just kidding [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. I think that your problem is that you write in to many modern speech. The trick with writing is that you imagine yourself inside the story.
Make a character that resembles your own personalety. It is much easyer to write that way and make them react, sinc eyou are in the story yourself. I always call a character like that an insider. It came in very handy in my first story. Maybe you should try it.
If all means fail, send it to me and I will mess it up very good so you don't even WANT to write in those terms anymore [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Let me know if it works.

Greetings,

Anuion

I did indeed finish THE HOBBITS (see signature for link) and it took 18 months and lots of help, as posted earlier. Be sure to check the reviews first. I'm interested in THE FAIRY WIFE, and it is on my reading list! (Someday, someday!)

Practice, practice, practice! You are working with the greatest author of the 20th Century! You could do a lot worse than practicing with Professor Tolkien!

ALRIGHT!!!

My second one is done. Just look at fanfiction.net under the lotr related stories. Action/adventure the descendant of Beorn. Or if that is too much trouble, PM me for the link. My second treasure already in the box. Time does fly people [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hi, I've sent in the biggining of my new fanfiction. I'd like to ask if it would be "politically correct" in hobbit fashion, for Fredegar Bolger to get married 17 years after the party. I need a fairly well know friend of Frodo that doesn't go away to be my groom. If not Fredegar, any suggestions?
