• Title: House Telcontar ~ A 4th Age Tale (A Middle-earth fanfic set after the conclusion of the War of the Ring)
• Synopsis: At the conclusion of the War of the Ring and the reunification of the two Dúnedain kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor under Aragorn II, now known as Elessar of House Telcontar, a few glimpses were given by Tolkien of what the future of Aragorn, Arwen, and the reunited kingdom would be. As much we wished there would be peace and prosperity and goodwill to all under the lordship of Aragorn, it was made clear that even though the war against Sauron and the destruction of the one ring was complete; evil and wars were not done...
"Wherever King Aragorn went with war, King Éomer went with him"
It is in this background that this story of the family of Aragorn and Arwen - House Telcontar - is told.
• Author Notes: About Me and Middle-earth: Ever since I saw the Fellowship of the Ring movie when I was 7 years old, I became fascinated by Middle-earth. I was gifted the Lord of the Rings books that Christmas a week after seeing the movie and I ate it up. By the time the 2nd movie came out a year later, I had read the books three times and combed over the appendices. It wasn't until 2007 when I went to middle school that I started writing Middle-earth fanficlets to fill in holes in the background summary. The lack of women mentioned in the line had me write up some original women characters, for where there was a male heir, there was an unmentioned/unnamed woman who bore him. I came up with several characters and storylines that fit within the canonical framework.
Having let things rest after high school because life got busy, I came across an old notebook and some saved stories on CD-ROMs when I packed up to move. Looking back at my (mostly bad) fanfics, it led me to dream up a new fanfic in a 'future' setting in Middle-earth. I had set the framework up in my Vardarianna and Eldarion character profiles, but it all is in a state of flux and under constant revision. I have yet to start on the actual story, so I hope to use this to get me motivated in getting going on it. I should have no trouble racking up 50k words, but even if I don't, it will still be fun!
I'll edit in more notes here as I go.
