Fandom: The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R.Tolkien
Rating: G, CNTW
Chapters: 1
Length: 656 words
Summary: It was in the year 442 of the Second Age, in the 410th year of his reign, that the King Elros Tar-Minyatur felt the Gift of Men draw nigh to him, and he called his brother to him to say his last farewell.

Short fic, not the fic I intended to write, but insofar as redeveloping the habit goes, all writing counts, and there is something to be said for sitting down to bash out the shortfic idea when you have it.

It also made me feel that I need to re-read Unfinished Tales, which I always liked a lot, and try to get through The Silmarillion properly.

I didn't know Tor had had a Silmarillion read. That sounds like an excellent way of tackling it, I shall definitely have a look at it. I've read chunks, I've read bits of HoME, but The Silmarillion has not always thrived. Possibly I should just skip the first chapter...

And I'm glad you liked the fic.
