This is an archive of fan fiction, artwork, and references based on the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. The archive was created as an adjunct to the Axe_Bow discussion list, and contains material likely to be of interest to list members. The primary focus here is on the characters Legolas and Gimli, and the relationship between them. We also welcome material concerning interactions between Elves and Dwarves, or Dwarven culture and history. Please see the Rules for Inclusion in the Archive for more details about archive content.

There is also an older archive associated with the Axe_Bow list, located here. This one has not been updated for quite a while, but there is a lot of good material there.
