All that Glitters: Gold Rush!AU by @abadpoetwithdreams, @wearetakingthehobbitstogallifrey & @thelonelybrilliance
An AU collection of epic proportions, counting over 414 k words and growing, that follows the Finweans as New Yorkers moving West c. 1850. Get ready to meet Manwe the state governor, Morgoth his ex-criminal brother and an Irish Finwe, and see how things are both the same and different. So far - I have only really started - the authors treat everybody with compassion, offering great characterizations and a rollercoaster of emotions, but the greatest joy is actually in seeing how the setting affects the events and relations and the pure cleverness that went into crafting this ‘verse.
Also contains the line: “Melkor Bauglir(...) has been commissioned to oversee the completion of the transcontinental railroad.”
