Henneth Annûn Story Archive

Here's my proposal: Write a story about a character's first impression upon arriving to a new place. What did they think, feel, smell, see, hear? Examples include: - Finrod's arrival in Beleriand after passing over the Helcaraxë. - Elros stepping off of the first ship to Númenor. - Gil-galad arriving in Lindon after the War of Wrath. - Elendil's ship pulling up to Middle-earth after the destruction of Númenor. - Durin the Deathless coming upon the Mirrormere after his awakening before he founded Khazad-dûm. You can use a canon or original character, in any place. It only has to be that character's first time in that place. Any thoughts? Arquen

 

The above is an edit of the original post, which I did today. Arquen

 

Hi Arquen, So the focus is on impressions of a place? Hm. This could be interesting. We haven't, to date, had nuzgûl that really tried to focus on landscape. Yet the land of M-e is an essential "character" of Tolkien's stories, a fact that urban writers such as myself who couldn't tell an orchid from a lily most days have had cause to bemoan! This could be really interesting, especially if one were inclined to focus on the sensual impact a place made on a character. Do we have any interested parties? Perhaps some of those participating in the "Three Colours" challenge would also be interested in this?

 

Hi there! I suddenly have a vision of Finduilas coming to the White City for the first time ...*grin* I've kind of pledged my credit to the hilt at the moment but I could possibly write this if there was a nice *long* deadline. Edit: Er... I've succumbed already. I hope drabbles qualify - at any rate, mine is here
