Fate and Downfall

[Tirned Tinnu]

I think it's too easy to write about happy times - we think of Elves as living in a perfect (or near perfect) society. But day after day perfect happiness would probably going to bore us in the end.
What Tolkien and many authors look for is excitement! To have excitiement there must be strife, and antagonist, a hero, a villan.
If you have no force behind a story, it will never go anywhere. There must be motivation for the plot to move.

What would happen if the Elves all went to Varda?
Hum, something entirely different, I suppose. Would Feanor still have made the Silmarils? Would his father and mother even have married? Would Morgoth have been so pushy? Therein you must form your own hypothesis. I dare not, it ventures into the realm of RPG's. Perhaps you could use that as a basis for one, if you like that sort of thing. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
