Yup, now I have it all planned out. I would be a Noldo of the following of Turgon (because, just by the description of the Seven Gates in the
Unfinished Tales, you know Gondolin is the place to be!), a jewelsmith making ever more works of art to enhance the glory of the fairest city east of the Sea. I'd escape the Fall with Tuor and Idril (because, seriously, who wants to die as a result of Maeglin being a stupid-head?), then head off to live in the Havens with Círdan and his folk. I'd go with Elrond to help found Imladris, and I'd stay there until the end of the Third Age, when I'd finally return to the West. I'd marry another Noldo (because you can never have too much creativity in one family), and we'd live in peace in the woods of Oromë until the Breaking of the World.
Yeah, that sounds good.
