I found this website with a few fan-fics that I enjoyed. The style of the author is very Tolkienesque.

I thought the ending was weird though and men returning from the dead was something that should not have happened in Middle earth. But I thought it was a bloody good read if you would ignore some stuff like dead kings returning (e.g. Elessar), resurrected beasts and overwhelming numbers of both armies, which would be nigh on impossible for the plains of Dagorlad and Mordor to contain. Long story ahead.

I haven't read all of the posts yet, but I just wanted to share that I'm reading a great fic at fanfiction.net called The Queen's Orc set in the time of Aragorn's death and Arwen's passage to Lorien. Gotta go now, i'm hooked! =)

Pipe Henneth Annun

I find Henneth Annun a good fan story archive. One can find some good ones amongst them all.

Edit: Unfortunately Henneth Annun has folded. Fortunately they archived their library on An Archive Of Our Own.

I hope the mods will tolerate my little pluig here.

Walking Tree Publishers are currently finalising a fan fiction by Edward S. Louis, The Monster Specialist.

The first part of this book was actually published by another publisher under the title Sir Severus le Brewse several years ago. parts 2 and 3 were never publsihed. We are now publishing all three parts as a single volume.

The story is set in an Arthurian age and setting. The real Sir Severus is actually mentioned in Malory. Severus doesn't like to joust with other knights much or to play all the games of intrigues in the royal household. Instead (sometimes with the help of his enchantress lover, Lilava), he likes to fight monsters. But in contarst to other knights, he only kills them when he really has to.

This book combines trains of Malory, TH White and Farmer Giles of Ham.

The first two chapters are available for free download here:

More info on the book here:

Illustrations are by Anke Eissmann.

Tolkien Tolkien Fan Fix

I've found some decent stories among the chaff on these sites:

Open Scrolls
Many Paths To Tread
Lord Of The Rings Fanfiction

Looking for Arwen POV canonical fics

Not much to add beyond my title.
Can someone suggest links to fics that write the Aragorn-Arwen story from Arwen's point of view, staying quite faithful to Tolkien's original?
Thanks.

I guess that wouldn't be the one about Arwen throwing the dishes at Aragorn after he was caught 'visiting" Eowyn whole Faramir was away?

Fan-fic pretty much by its very definition is non-canonical. One only has to take a look at what PJ did to the Lord of the Rings story in those high-budget films he made 20 years ago. You do leave a little wiggle-room by saying 'quite faithful'. Anyway, IF I do find anything from Arwen's POV I'll let you know.
