Bio: Tolkien fan since the first wave of fandom in the mid 1960s; at 12 started writing fanfic (although it wasn't called so then). In those days I had a wall poster saying "Come to Middle Earth." Still visiting--and writing again, after a hiatus of 35 years. I write mostly about Aragorn (book version). Please review!

Thanks to Tyellas for allowing me to borrow the idea of the Blue Book from her superb story, and thanks to oshun for all her help. Special thanks to Maeve Riannon and greywing for their contributions.
