June of Doom & Gloom - Week 3 discussion and etc. post

[huinare]

A slightly belated welcome to the third week of this here.

Have another update/progress/discussion post thing. Any progress in your writing, frustrations, new plot bunnies? Feel free to gab. General discussion question (all welcome, participants or otherwise): Are there particular characters you tend to victimize select more frequently as subject matter when writing sad, scary, or otherwise not-lighthearted stories? or particular groups/settings/time periods? Put another way, are there certain characters who just can't seem to catch a break from you in your fanworks?

Oh cool! The Enchanted Isles do have a certain creepiness about them that I could see lending itself well to this, even if the story is "lighter."

Elrond does get kind of a raw deal, pretty much from the start. Whereas Maglor had at least the chance of a good youth.

Yay! I'm glad I'm not off the mark in thinking it fits.

Exactly. Plus, it doesn't help that things seem to have happened to him; they're not a consequence of his choices. Maglor's… are.
