The Role of Fantasy

[VanimaEdhel]

I, personally, have been writing fantasy stories and making up worlds since before I can remember.

I, right now, am making a fanfiction called "The Lost Races of Arda: the Nymphs" about all of the elementals that Tolkien mentions come into existence at some places, but never elaborate on. Faeries will be included in this (as they are the most prominent "mysterious" elementals) and Sirens as well. I will probably do a brief history on other creatures...but that's a different topic all together.

I write these things for myself. Writing them includes coming up with full, speakable languages (which I'm not doing too poorly with for the Nymphs, considering I'm 15), and creating entire histories.

As I said, the writings are for myself. I probably will not show anyone the finished product ever. That is the case with all my stories (many unrelated to Tolkien) and screenplays (I've written a few of those). I am really afraid to show anyone. All of my writing is for me, as an escape from life.
