Bio:I am Medium Dawn Felagund of the Fountain:

Medium: I am of average size, a woman about 5'7" in height, and of ordinary appearance. If I were a fast food beverage, I would be a Medium: That to which people of neither extreme are willing to commit.
Dawn: Part of my "Muggle-name," that which was given me by my parents. I like the meaning--new beginning--but not the sound, which has a tendency to be drawn out to "Duh-awwwn." Still, it is better than my last name, which is a liberal's hyphenated monstrosity.
Felagund: One of my favorite Silmarillion Elves. This unfailingly happy blond likes to create his own little worlds to play in and tends to be too devoted to his friends. I like to think of both as virtues.
of the Fountain: Silmaniacs, no, it is not a reference to Ecthelion of the Fountain. Although Ecthelion of the Fountain is one awesome Elf and surely deserves folks naming themselves after him. In my case, though, "of the fountain" refers to an ice cream fountain. I enjoy making homemade ice cream and confections.

I am 25 and live in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, with my husband Bobby. In the "real" world, I have a degree from the University of Maryland Baltimore County in human services psychology, biopsychology, and writing. Somehow, that landed me a job with the Division of Parole and Probation as a research statistician, a.k.a. geeky office assistant. My past jobs have included working as a fiction editor, adult literacy tutor, and kitchen manager.

I my preferred world, I write and paint all day. My current passion is for stories based off of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion and for the Elves of Middle-earth. I also enjoy miniatures-building and -painting, although I haven't had the time to learn the games for which I spend hours painting models. I do, however, love RPGs and currently moderate/DM a campaign that involves both online and tabletop components.

Most of my writing will be available in my journal. I encourage all to read it and leave me comments. I take seriously every suggestion that I receive and never truly "complete" a story. Please do not hesitate to friend my journal. If our interests are similar, I will probably friend you back and read your own work.

However, I must warn younger readers that--while I do not mind you friending my journal--some of the material I post here might not be suitable for young eyes. I will try to lj-cut potentially offensive material, but everyone's human, and I might forget. I am an old, pervy married woman with old, pervy married friends, and if the tales and discussions that result from this are likely to offend you, then please tred with caution.

I have experience as an editor also and am always happy to help fellow writers with their work. I am always available as a beta-reader (or reviewer, whichever you prefer) on topics that interest me. Please send me an email and a summary, and we'll take it from there.

If you are interested in my writing, please see the complete listing below. Those interested in discussing and writing about The Silmarillion should also check out my community [info]silwritersguild. If your masochistic enough to want to check out my online RPG fun, it may be found at [info]themidhavens.

I am willing to talk to most non-dangerous people about most anything. Please drop me a line to say "hello." If you're creepy, I'll tell you to buzz off; all others may stay and enjoy the company.
Regards,
Medium Dawn Felagund of the Fountain




~oOo~ Dawn's Writing ~oOo~


If you are interested in Silmarillion fan fiction, you may want to check out my writing. Please be aware, however, that most of my stories are rated for adults only for reasons of sexuality, violence, and disturbing themes. If you are underage, please get your parent's permission before checking out these stories. If you are said parent, please use your best discretion. Chapters that contain objectionable material are clearly marked, and I will not entertain complaints about the content of my stories. All other comments--both positive and negative, signed and unsigned--are welcome. I do ask, however, that people be polite, both to me and other visitors to my journal. Being passionate and even heated is acceptable--indeed, encouraged--but rude people will be shown the door.

Another Man's Cage. Another Man's Cage is a novel-length work, following Fëanor's young family over the course of a year living in Valinor. As conflicts and tensions begin to be revealed, I hope to expose some of the characters' motivations in the events that follow.
Rating: Adult

By the Light of Roses. By the Light of Roses was written in answer to a challenge posed by my friend [info]ann_arien to use her "verse" in which Erestor is a servant of the House of Fëanor in a story. This is an AU slash novella. You have been warned.
Rating: Adult

The World's Stupidest Silmarillion Play. This play began as an attempt to get my husband interested in The Silmarillion. It...well, it turned out stupid. It's a humorous look at the events of the early Silmarillion. Please be forewarned of bawdy humor and that it is a work in progress and not likely to be finished anytime soon.
Rating: General

Short Stories. Various of my shorter works, often written for birthdays or challenges, are catalogued here. Ratings and topics vary for these stories, so please be sure to read the introductory material before committing to something that might bother you.

Please note, also, that I am more than happy to share my writing and my icons, but most are my original creations, and I ask that you ask and credit. If it is not mine, I will tell you who to ask and credit instead. Thanks!




      
Marriage is love.
