Hi. I'm Elf-esteem.
I'll research almost anything that has to do with Tolkien's Elves. I like referring to Tolkien Gateway as a 'reliable resource' when fact checking something because I can cross-reference my books from the reference links. I do so much writing about the Elves anyway that I figured I might as well lend a hand here and there.
My main Tolkien reference material includes: The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Histories of Middle-earth - in particular, Morgoth's Ring, The War of the Jewels, and The Peoples of Middle-earth. However, I do sometimes use the Book of Lost Tales (both I and II), Tolkien's published letters, and Unfinished Tales which has great reference material for Sindar-Silvan Elves. Rarely, a reference from The Children of Hurin or as I call it, Sadness: The Extended Edition, may be used.
Not all of these references agree, and some of it leads to a conflict of ideas, characterizations, and plot elements that J. R. R. Tolkien never really resolved. I'm pretty much okay with this. To me, if Tolkien wrote it or it was compiled and edited by Christopher Tolkien, it is a reliable canonical reference. Some do not agree with Middle-earth 'canon' extending beyond Silmarillion, Hobbit, and LotR, and that's fine. Some do not even include The Silmarillion as Middle-earth canon, which makes me sad because. . . Elves.
But canonical disagreements aside, the references from the Legendarium will be there, and it's up to the reader to make their own choices.
Stuff
I prefer to write with two spaces between sentences, and it bothers me a little, visually, that the format here defaults to one space. It does not look right to me, but, it is what it is.
I'll save my headcanon musing and #feels for tumblr and stick to what Tolkien wrote with the related meta essays. Whenever possible, I will dispel fanon. (I will stab it in the face with a pencil!) Ahem, I mean, I will logically refer to canon to clarify misunderstandings.
Although I favor the Elves above all others in Middle-earth, my favorite Edain character is Niënor, and my favorite sad ship is Aegnor X Andreth.
My Current Projects
I try to just pick things from the To-do list. But, I get distracted by wanting to find the reference to something or correcting something that does not read the way it was probably intended. While I usually want to pick a page that has something to do with Elves, some of those pages are left with no new notes about what to do next or why it is still on the To-do list, and it is hard to know where to start. So, sometimes I just take a guess or go for the quick fix.
