Legolas & LOTR Gap Filler Stories

[LKK]

It seems as if not too many authors are willing to tackle stories set within the time period of LOTR itself. Perhaps because gap-filler stories have such a high standard to meet. After all, the original LOTR is a pretty impressive piece of writing.

So how about some recommendations for those brave souls who tackle filling in the pieces that the Professor left out?

Your recommended stories or authors might not focus on Legolas exclusively, but he should be fairly involved.

I have 2 authors to recommend to you. Hopefully you'll have some others to recommend back to me.

First: Thundera Tiger. Her pre-Lothlorien Legolas is a little too verbally combative for my perferences, but I enjoy her characterizations after he experiences Lothlorien.

Her SOA page:

Gap filler stories involving Legolas I liked especially include Knife Work and Smiting Ruin. Thundera also has several good stories involving Legolas set outside the LOTR time period.

Second: Budgielover. Budgielover is primarily a hobbit-lover. But even still, I think her depiction of Legolas is closest in spirit to how Tolkien himself envisioned the character. You have to sort out the exclusively hobbit stories from the ones containing Legolas. But it's not difficult to do from the descriptions. She has a Legolas & Frodo (not in a slash way) WIP story that she's working on right now.

I especially recommend The Forest Has Eyes (WIP), Some Nameless Place, and its delightfully amusing companion piece Leavetaking.

So those are my offerings. Have you any suggestions for me of good stories set during the Quest which feature Legolas?

Oh! What a great thread to start!

Oddly, I tend not to read many stories that take place during the Fellowship. I will keep my eyes open, though.

Here is a movie gapfiller by Evendim (the drinking game scene):

(Hmm...perhaps a gapfiller challenge is in order? )

I have read a number of gap fillers, but I can't remember them now. I'll have to go back and find them. I do have a few stories that take a movie scene, add a little twist, but try to keep it so that it could have happened in the movie without changing the flow of things tremendously.

Anyone interested in those sort of stories? They are short, one-shots. (I'm trying to see if anyone wants to read my Helm's Deep one... )

[Carol]

Hey Gwenn,

I've read the Helm Deep and as you know I loved it.

Did you write others too?? If so send me a link I want to read them all.

[Gwenneth]

Quick answer to Carol...yes...the second there is a link to under my What-If series that I "shamelessly" promoted in that part of this site!!

Titled: Slipped

You may have already found it though...

[Carol]

Oh yes I found it. Slipped was the first of your stories I read and what can I say but "LOVED IT!!";D

There are only one or two I have not read yet but do not worry I can solve that problem real quick lol

Looking forward to the next "What if" and any others you decide to to write.

[Nilmandra]

I am going to list the story that got a few of us writing. Jocelyn has moved on to other fandoms, so not sure if we'll see other LotR stories, but these are very good:

A Little Nudge out the Door

She also has this cute Little Legolas story:

Oh, the places we'll go!
