What do you have to say for yourself?

And speaking of my stories, what if Gondolin was betrayed by someone else? What if - just as Maeglin pined for Idril - Glorfindel, likewise, pined for him?

Some "what ifs" are only in the realm of possibility in fan fiction. That is one example.

So you think people can't possibly be pining for him? I find that false. After all, I am a living, breathing proof that people can pine for him.

I wonder then, had Turgon been less absurdly vengeful in throwing Eol off the cliffs, as punishment for the death, then Maeglin before Morgoth in that 'Fan Fiction' should have had more emotional reserves to hold his own. No doubt, hatred simmering, and a pretty immutable Turgon, with a city of such isolation, and protectionism, must have had it's cost on loyalty. Eol, I imagine, taught Maeglin that the Noldor stole lands, took power, and displaced his own kind. Maeglin, also knowing of the Kinslaying, must have had his loyalties eroded, due to that.

I doubt it. They hid the tunnel from him for a long time, so I doubt he'll know who is responsible for his loss of power either.
They could have pinned the blame onto someone else (Salgant, for example, spinning a tale how Salgant was always jealous of his power and thus sought to bring him down)

Well, then, I think there is nothing more to be said about this topic.

Okay, apparently my stories are so horrible that they should be treated like plague. Either that, o people dislike reading about Maeglin because of how often I talk think about him.

I have just read it, and it's very well-written. I am not really emotionally attached to Maeglin, though.
