Fanfic / Camp Glingal

Go To

Camp Glingal is an utterly beautiful Greater Tolkien Canon fic! If you like WAFF, escalating prank wars and just plain simple CRACK, this is for you.

Basically, Gwen and Kisha are the only counsellors left at the titular camp after a bizarre occurrence of the Northern Lights at Daytime. All they have left are Rangers, Valar and Valier, Hobbits, and every character you ever wanted to meet and some you didn't are in it! So, we have Fëanor teaching ring making, Ulmo becoming a volleyball champ, and Manwë/Morgoth sibling rivalry!


This fic provides examples of:

  • Big Damn Heroes: Melkor at the end.
  • Deus ex Machina: That's how the people get transported. That's how the camp was saved twice.
  • Gorn: In two chapters.
  • Happily Ever After: At the end, the entire Isle of Númenor is raised again, renamed Camp Glingal, and anyone who was there with the Tolkien characters (including said characters) can go there after death.
  • Heel–Face Door-Slam: Subverted. Morgoth turns good, Gwen manages to get sent to the Void after death, resurrects Morgoth's good side, breaks the both of them and Sauron out, and they live at Camp Glingal for the rest of their days.
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: Sauron.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Morgoth.
  • The Power of Love: Varda leaves Manwë, Morgoth bonds with Manwë, becomes Melkor again, pretty much adopts Lalaith, a girl whose family he basically ruined, has two kids with Gwen, and definitely earns his happily ever after.
