And, as it happens, tyellas was the dedicatee of "TR&TC" anyway - she'd asked for Silmarillion villain stories for her birthday, so that's what I came up with!

I was a judge in that category the next year, as a past winner, and I totally voted hard for that Morgoth story. It was gen, and it was a Cthulhu Mythos fusion/crossover, and it was so creepy and brilliant. I'd never seen that author around before or since.
