Author has written 11 stories for Lord of the Rings, Bible, Star Wars, and Star Wars.

Greetings!

If you're wondering where my pen name came from, it's a rough translation of my real name into Tolkien's Sindarin Elvish. One of its meanings is supposed to be 'dweller in the grey fortress,' and 'Mithostwen' literally means 'grey fortress maiden.'

About Me:

My favorite stories have always had a habit of ending before I'm ready to be done with them. When I was four, my solution to this problem was to churn out a ridiculous number of drawings of Lion King characters. Now that I'm better with words, I tend to use those instead, either to geek out with fellow humans about the interesting stuff a story is doing or to write more stories inspired by it.

A list of my favorite books would have to include Harry Potter, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, Pride and Prejudice, the Hunger Games series, Hyperbole and a Half, The Book Thief, and Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series, though that list is nowhere near exhaustive. I love writing that make me think as much as I love writing that makes me laugh, and if you can do both, I will love you forever.

I also happen to be a fan of games, music, adorable animals, thunderstorms, and tea.

But enough about me.

News About My Stories (updated January 2020):

Current projects: I'm finally working on getting back into writing again, after multiple years of not writing any fiction at all. It's harder than I expected it to be, and it's hard not to compare my current clunky writing attempts to the way I was writing when I was doing it all the time. But I'm trying not to get discouraged, and to just keep practicing.

My current project is a series of KotOR II scenes focusing on the Exile, Atton, and Kreia. If it turns out good enough to share, I'll post it.

What the History Holos Leave Out: I went ahead and posted the two completed chapters that I had sitting on my hard drive, even though they weren't meant to come next chronologically. I don't know if or when I'll have a chance to fill in the gaps. The Tatooine chapter is halfway done but I'm very stuck on where to go with it.

Echoes of Light, my alternate ending to Revenge of the Sith, is complete. Thank you to everyone who gave me such great feedback! For those of you who were hoping for a sequel, I apologize. I doubt I'll be writing one.

Other Random Notes:

Thanks for reading! And may the Force be ever in your favor, my dear hobbits.

Retrace by Firebirdie reviews
The Jedi weren't the only ones to meddle with her mind. She knows who she is, but not how she fell. She remembers attacking the Republic, but not why. The answers are out there—if she can find them. Good thing Darth Revan doesn't give up easily. An AU take on KotOR.

Yes, the title is "Lord of the Rings" backwards. All the LotR characters are the complete opposites of their canon personalities. For example, Pippin is wise and powerful, Sam is out to kill Frodo... you get the idea. One-shot. Tolkien, forgive me.
