Author’s Notes: Prompt 33: Present in the 50_darkfics challenge. Written 21 November 2006. Unbetaed. Fourth in the five senses arc. Written as part of a writer’s workshop for an online RPG (role-playing game.)

Pungent, acrid, charred stench. Oil and pitch combine with the perfume of court clothes, traces of soap. The tang of sweat has covered the more pleasant smells and the strange mustiness of the atmosphere, as though this space were long unused. That fades as the scent of ash grows and grows with each passing moment. The wood burns, the reek of burnt oil and something else surrounds, enters me. Cloth and hair, but why are such things on fire? We need to help, need to put it out! The stink of fear is all round—there’s someone in the fire!

About the Author


Bell Witch

Most of my fanfiction is linked through my livejournal Feed link

Finally an update of my profile. I’m behind on linking fics posted here on my LJ, so these are pretty much my LotR fics. The Harry Potter links are on the LJ below a lot of silly quizzes and memes. For sillier results, my online RPG Faramir takes these quizzes also—in character. Most of his results are better than mine. His journal is faramir_hurin, for those so inclined.

I’ve also written a number of segments for the interactive story linked through this site.

I’ve been writing fanfiction for four or five years and I haven’t progressed into writing for many fandoms yet, which may be a blessing for all of those fandoms I’ve not written for. I don’t really count the online RP as fanfiction, though some would. That adds a few fandoms and a new dimension to LotR, as I now play Sauron in his Annatar persona.

As you can see, I am still not skilled at writing author profiles.
