Oooh, pre-Nirnaeth culture clash also sounds great! What sort of clashes are you working on for your OCs?
(Coming up with Elven names is so terrible a chore, man. I keep going back and forth on whether my main culture-clash OC really needs a Quenya as well as a Sindarin I kinda think he does, and anyway there's an idea I had about his mother-name that might work better that way, and it's all an awful chore BUT it is a great excuse to read a bunch of Sindarin and Quenya dictionary sites, which is fun. ♥)
Random Thing I crave... Okay, so I have probably read 100,000 words or more of Elrond & Elros dealing with their emotional attachment to Maedhros & Maglor and how his parents or Gil-galad's followers or Sindarin Elves in Valinor feel about that, right, and frankly I would read 100,000 more words of that!
But what my brain has decided it wants is 100,000 words of Elrond dealing with other Fëanorians. He's had millennia to reach a peace with his emotions about Maedhros & Maglor, but Celegorm and Curufin, who abducted his mother and killed his grandfather? The twins who died on the same day he and Elros were taken? Nerdanel? There's a whole lot of potential for conflict and clashing personalities and guilt there, and I want to read it so badly!
