I can highly recommend all the stories by Marnie to be found on her Celeborn homepage. here
Particularly Oak and Willow is a wonderful (and long!) story which I enjoyed thoroughly and have read several times over. (The story of Celeborn and Galadriel, with a difference - this time it's from the Sindar POV. Features Daeron, Elu Thingol, Luthien, Beren, Angrod, Finrod and many others.) The story fits perfectly into”canon” and yet it is totally thrilling to read. All the characters are spot-on and “alive” – and Celeborn is just adorable! I love Marnie's style – not a single word is out of place (or time). And there is so much depth to it, too. "Those who remain" is also a marvellous story, sad and hopeful at the same time, it made the tears rise in my eyes. It's about Celeborn coming to see Sam, after the end of LotR. Both have been left by the person they loved, and so have something in common. (Features also Rosie) In my opinion, Marnie's style comes here very close to Tolkien!

Gilthalion's story is SOOO long!
 EDIT: I just read Those Who Remain and enjoyed it a great deal.

Thanks to the miracle of web-archiving, the old Barrow-Downs fan fiction section can be brought back to life! For all those who have asked about stories such as "Dude, Where's My Ring?" and others, here's your opportunity to (re-)read them!

Only the first chapters of the stories are archived - the rest seems lost.
Or is it only my browser? |

This is what is archived. There are no stories that postdate 2003. Evidently, no one was capable of writing a proper Middle-earth tale after that year. Perhaps the powers-that-be chose 2003 to be a cut-off date considering that it marked the 30th anniversary of Tolkien's death, and they believed that every conceivable variation of Middle-earth Mary-Sue tales had already been written. I don't believe we'll be able to write on this site ever again; unless, of course, one is smitten with Middle-earth were-wolves or soccer. *shrugs*
