Lots of new stories by Altariel in the Unabeauverse, and a story by Isabeau added to the timeline too (full list of stories here).

Also some extra stories by Altariel that don't connect to the timeline, and e-book versions of two of Altariel's stories: A Game of Chess and Withered Tree.

Q: "The 'Unabeauverse'?"
A: A series of stories by Altariel, Dwimordene, Isabeau, and Soledad, based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, mostly concerning the Stewards of Gondor and the Princes of Dol Amroth.

Q: "Wherewherewhere?!"
A: Hereherehere!: best_loved_sons

Here is a little project which I hope some of you might enjoy playing with: the Best Loved Sons Wiki.

"Best Loved Sons" is the umbrella title given to the series of Tolkien fanfiction written by myself and Isabeau, with additional (and substantial!) contributions from Dwimordene and Soledad. When I was updating the timeline last week, I began to read through again from the beginning, and I was struck by how much world-building that Isabeau, in particular, had done. So I thought it would be nifty to gather it all together in one place, not only as a helpful reference resource, but as a potential source of plot bunnies. (Weaving together timelines and other information in this way always throws up story ideas.)

Come and have a play in the sandbox, build a few castles!

The 'Unabeauverse' timeline is the chronological list of connected Tolkien-based stories by myself, Isabeau, Dwimordene, and Soledad.

I've just updated it with a link to Reconciliation, by Dwimordene:

Justice is one matter, forgiveness another. In the wake of an infamous failure of fellowship, the Swan Knights and esquires of Dol Amroth struggle with the messy business of achieving both.

Timeline here, or go directly to the story here.

Andrahar, an OC created by Isabeau, first made his appearance in her story Captain, My Captain. Since then, several other authors - Dwimordene, Soledad, myself - have been inspired to write about the character and his background, and his relationships with the Princes of Dol Amroth and the House of Mardil.

I've just listed all these stories chronologically, with links to the stories, here: best_loved_sons

I'm hoping to update that journal over the next few weeks with a similar chronological list of all the stories that take place in the "Unabeauverse". It's a long, long list!
