New Categories
As you have probably noticed, I split Lord of the Rings up into two separate categories.

The first one is for movie based stories and most general fics. (including slash, AU, original characters) and just about anything else. There are really no restrictions, as long as you add the proper ratings and warning to your stories.
The second is for book/canon verse, stories that stay true to the writings of Tolkien only. These stories will need to be reasonably accurate in their facts and knowledge of Tolkien's works. If you're not sure which category suits your story best, you probably will want to go with the first.

I'll be working on moving the book canon stories as I can but if I miss yours, you can easily change the category under "edit story".

I have a couple of questions here -
If the story involves an original character or two, but does not stray from Tolkien-verse (say, a Fourth Age story), does it count as a canonfic?
Also, does a humor fic count as canon? I'm guessing not, but wanted to be sure.

Why don't you help me out with that, since I haven't clearly delineated those boundaries yet?
I trust your judgement to choose the best category for your stories, especially since you are a large part of why I changed things. I thought it would be better for more advanced authors to do things this way and make it easier to find the kind of stories you want to read.

There's no character list under 'Tolkien Book Verse'...doesn't that rather defeat the purpose? :D Perhaps you should give it the same list that's on 'Lord of the Rings', as that has a nice number of characters.Noldo

The list of characters for the Tolkien-verse are up.

Could we see Amrod and Amras on there, if that isn't too much trouble?
- Noldo on 04/10/04 - 01:23 pm
Amrod and Amras have been added to both the movie and Tolkien book verse character lists. If I missed anyone else please let me know.

Nerdanel, please. :D Sorry for the inconvenience, I just happen to be writing a lot of Feanorians today.

Done.

Hi there! I came via your invitation - this site is absolutely gorgeous! And I love how you put several skins that we can change between! Lovely! I am awed at your hard work and dedication. I shall do my part by diligently posting works! I am glad to be here!

Thanks so much Kasmi! I do pour quite a lot of time and effort into this site and it means so much to hear that people like it!
- Adora on 10/10/04 - 12:14 am
Oh, I'm sure people love it! It's beautiful; I'm experimenting with the skins right now, in fact, as I'm suffering from a minor writer's block--gee, I bet nobody on this site has experienced that! *snorts, very un-elf-like* Seriously, it's a great site, and I'm so glad I was invited. Thank you!

You're welcome, Tathrin! Thanks so much for your kind words and don't worry, I RUN the site and I have writers block. *laugh*

Hi, This is indeed a beautiful site. I have a suggestion/question/vague hope comment, though. Would it possible to divide the LOTR AU category into two categories, adult (NC-17) and general (R and below).
- Karri on 13/10/04 - 11:33 pm
Karri's suggestion sounds great! It's hard to dodge around NC-17 fics when you're just looking for a G-rated one. Also, might I suggest that stories be indexed in library format ('_____, The' or '_____, A'). It helps avoid cluttering up the 'A' and 'T' sections.
