P@L's take on the story is a unique blend of humour and drama; cast in Shakespearean style but using modern informal English, it has simply got to be read to be believed. Interesting characterisations all round, though I'm particularly fond of Celebrimbor and his clock. Technically speaking it's still a WiP, as Act IV remains incomplete, as far as I'm aware, but the parts do stand alone.
( A snippet should give the flavour... )Act I: An Appointment in Menegroth Act II: The Sojourn in Nargothrond, or Houseguests from Hell Act III: Tinuviel at Bay: A Caccia of Beleriand(All three are also available in illustrated PDF form c/o
