What do you think about it?

The 'Fall of Gondolin' book has come out. It'd be a more detailed description on FoG, which means it'll also feature you-know-who more extensively. Can't wait for it to be translated and distributed within my country so I could get my hands on it for more Maeglin goodness.

What would be a good title for Maeglin-centric fan story?

Depends on the story, I guess. Can you give us any details?

Well, there are no stories that depict his complete life, or his time in Halls of Mandos, so I figured I might write both of those.

Because, in case you didn't figure it out from my ramblings, I pity him.

Sounds exciting! So this thread was a sneaky research project, eh? ^_^

"Child of the Twilight" is a possibility - it's the translation of his Mother-name, and sums up his duality. "Prince of Gondolin" would highlight his presumed authority and feelings of betrayal. Yeah, I tend towards simple titles...

Sadly, the Fall of Gondolin book is pretty much just a collection of the versions found in HoME and UT. It's a beautiful book, but I don't think there's much new in there (though if you don't happen to own the entirety of HoME, I guess there is!).

I don't own HoME, no.

And yes, I suppose it is, although I was honest about using this thread for random/silly questions.

And yes, I went with 'Child of Twilight' for title. Thank you. If you want the link to the story, just say so and I'll PM it to you.
