TWISTED PATHS OF FATE
by Soledad
Disclaimer:The characters, the context and the main plot belong to Professor Tolkien, whom I greatly admire. I’m only trying to fill in the gaps he so graciously left for us, fanfic writers, to have some fun.
A VERY SHORT INTRODUCTION
This story is being written as an answer to a birthday challenge, for those very supportive members of the Silmfics group who have encouraged my writings all the time. After Círdan had generously written a birthday fic for me two months earlier, I offered to follow the hobbit custom and write a birthday present for my friends until October.
Therefore, the individual chapters are dedicated to different members of the aforementioned group, according to the wishes their voiced. All events described in this story are canon – in the sense that you won’t read here anything that would contradict any canon fact. Since we all understand something different under ’’canon’’, let me clarify: I consider ’’canon’’ everything that is in ’’The Hobbit’’ or in ’’LOTR’’, since these are the books Tolkien himself felt fit to publish. I usually follow the ’’Silmarillion’’ or ’’Unfinished Tales’’ for Frist and Second Age stuff, and often use things from the HoME-books, but with these, I allow myself a lot more freedom.
Please consider these before you put the label AU on my writings. They are not, and it’s annoying when other people call them thus, just because our interpretation about ’’canon’’ happens to be different.
Otherwise, I hope you’ll have fun with this one.
