Ah, it is part of a series called And After A Time The Elf Kings. My very first post was also part of that project. The formatting went kinda wrong, so the original post isn't pretty to look at. I just uploaded the introduction on the SWG: http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=1690, the fart chapter called "The Fragrance of Friendship: can be found here; http://shadowbrides.livejournal.com/3985.html. Yes, I can write humour. I just avoid it and go for the dying/doomed people, usually. :P

And no, not really. The entire series isn't exactly serious philosophizing. xD
