Day One

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

First: A work-in-progress fic
Eleventy-one: Too Short a Time, Book One
This is my biography of Bilbo Baggins, beginning with his birth. It's still a WIP, and young Bilbo has finally come of age. The first part is to take him right up to the day Gandalf shows up at Bag End. Part Two will take up on his arrival home. I am also posting it at FFN,, Many Paths to Tread and AO3, though not all the chapters so far are up yet at the latter.

Second: Another Work-in-Progress fic, which I am co-writing with pandemonium_213
The Prisoner and the Hobbit is an AU in which Sauron ends up a prisoner in Mandos, rather than being destroyed by the destruction of the Ring. Bilbo Baggins is in Tol Eressea, and at Gandalf's urging he and Sauron become correspondents. It sounds sort of silly and crack-y, but it's not. There are a lot of references to both our separate universes, but you don't have to have read them to understand the story. It's a lot of fun to work on, as each of us has to wait for the other person to answer the previous letter in order to move forward. We really don't know ahead of time what will happen! The story can also be found at The Silmarillion Writer's Guild.

Third: Here is a bit of my art. I don't have a lot of it, but this one was a lot of fun to make.

I don't usually read WIP's, but Eleventy-one has now been added to the list. Who knows when I'll get to it, but that looks fascinating.

I've truly enjoyed filling in the early years of Bilbo's life, taking hints from canon and the Tale of Years, as well as my own headcanon and some of my previous stories!

It's a great challenge to try and imagine the events that shaped Bilbo's character.

Love Eleventy-One! And great summary of The P & the H. Bilbo and the DM are definitely spontaneous!

I love tiny Smaug.

[dreamflower]

Yes they are! Very spontaneous!

I had to try two or three of him to get one just right!

Do you each take one part and stick with it or do you swap?

[dreamflower]

Do you mean the collaboration? I write Bilbo, and she writes Sauron, and we both write the little bits between the letters, which usually contain Gandalf/Olorin.

I've truly enjoyed this collaboration, the only thing is we can't move very fast as each of us waits on the other to respond.

Oh cool, I love that little Smaug!

I've been eagerly awaiting the next installment of "The Prisoner and the Hobbit..." even understanding that it may happen only on Elven time. ;)

Pande has been slammed lately with a very hard case of Busy RL, but the story will continue as soon as her Dark Muse has the time!

Glad you liked miniature Smaug!

What a lovely Smaug!

[dreamflower]

Thank you!

Your Smaug is really awesome, and your recs very interesting!
