I guess the main idea for me is to take the most outragous thing that I can and make it plausible. My latest Nuzgul is one of Celebrimbor being half Teleri. How to make it work?

Silver or gold hair is uncommon among the Noldor and those who do have such unusual tresses normally have some mention of it in their names (Glorfindel, Galadriel etc) so I imagine that the particle 'Celeb' would be rather unusual in Noldorin names. So now I ave a silver haired Celebrimbor and have to make it believable, hence Curufin's wife being a Teleri!

See, it kinda goes...you've just got to try and make it work in the laws of Tolkien. I can't find a plausible way of making my Treebeard/Shelob Nuzgul work however...

Try lots of different ways to get inspiration, music is a good inspiration, especially the pre-90's music, personally I use Sinead O'Connor, Led Zepplinn, and Pink Floyd, but whatever you go for goes.
