A delight of having a Nook

pegkerrOne thing I have REALLY been enjoying about my Nook is that I've learned how to download fanfics to a Word file, convert them to .epub files (using this very handy dandy free site) and put them on my Nook. I love reading long works, and now I'm not tied to my computer to read them anymore, nor do I have to print them off.
I switch between Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings for the most part. This week I'm all about Lord of the Rings, specifically Éomer (why Éomer? I have no idea) and I've been discovering new fics by checking out the Middle Earth Fanfiction Awards finalists (MEFA). Here are some I've added lately:
Untold Tales of the Mark: The Banishment of Éomer by Katzilla. Dark and angsty. And LONG, around 340,000 words.
Otherwise, the fanfic authors I've particularly enjoyed doing Éomer stories are Lady Bluejay and Lialathuveril. Here a couple ones that are great fun:
The Abduction of Éomer, King of Rohan by Lialathuveril (a fun, somewhat screwball comedy. Think "'It Happened One Night' While Rowing Down the Anduin")
On the Wings of the Storm by Lialathuveril. An interesting premise: what if the year before the Ring War, Princess Lothiriel of Dol Amroth is sent to Rohan by her father to seek shelter from the war brewing in Mordor (and runs afoul of Wormtongue).
Of Falcons and Mûmakil by Lialathuveril
Bound By Duty by Lady Bluejay
I Can Only Manage One by Lady Bluejay.
Also good: The Sell-Sword and the Prince, by Lady Bluejay, about Lothiriel's father, Imrahil of Dol Amroth, and his encounter when he was young with Aragorn (known to him as Thorongil). The story starts as a high adventure with a daring raid on Umbar pirates and ends as a light-hearted romance between Imrahil and his future wife.
