#stillreading Silmarillion fanfic. Also The Silmarillion. Also commentary on the Silmarillion. For the most part, am managing to keep from too much confusion on who is who.

@pericat any fanfic recommendations? (Or commentary recs, if they’re online for free, last time I asked for those I got a paywall blocked academic paper, haha)

@Satsuma Right now working through "A Boy, a Girl, and a Dog: the Leithian Script", preserved in a couple of places on the net. I am reading the one on archive-of-our-own. https://archiveofourown.org/works/11749854/chapters/26480991
or at https://rustbucket.net/leithian/index.html

For commentary, of the fun but still knows stuff variety, I am reading Jeff LaSala's on Tor.com: https://www.tor.com/2017/09/20/welcome-to-the-silmarillion-primer-an-introduction/ Somone in the comments to one of his posts mentioned "A Boy, a Girl..." and I got sidetracked.
