Predictive Text Silmarillion Fanfic
I used a predictive text keyboard algorithm (Botnik Studios Voicebox) with The Silmarillion as source material to write Silmarillion fan fiction in the style of The Silmarillion. And now you have to read it.
CHAPTER 1. IN THE BEGINNING
In beleriand, beyond the sight of the valar, the elves were gathered together in the midst of the blessed caverns, for their hearts rejoiced in the darkness of the unlit forests. Wolves also came to them, and devoured the slime of arda. Now ilúvatar was overcome with wonder at the world and was filled with mirth by the elves and dwarves in their thongs. Kementári, propounding on all things of the earth and the first flowers of arda, was filled with many voices singing. She dwelt by monsters, pleased with their whips and their lifeless fires.
Long in the shadows lay the ainur, although their dwelling was not revealed to the elves, and in that dark time they were made ready. Now in the beginning Oromë was not alone, for even then tulkas slept at his side, and it seemed to manwë and varda in their twilight that it was too hot. Thus ulmo uprooted the sea - streams were filled with fires and birds - pleased with his strength, the valar reckoned not to assail
CHAPTER 2. OF ARDA AND THE VALAR
Arda was made ready and the valar were filled moreover with grief, for ilúvatar was still bitter at the beginning of days. Therefore when the ainur dared to tread upon the green grass, they were dead. But they came back. Therefore they continued to escape from their dwelling in the darkness. And in haste the valar were gathered in aman, as the westernmost land was filled with light. Thus began the first dawn of the valar, western shores beneath them, even as the elves were silent.
In beleriand, in the eastern regions, the green slopes of the world had not yet come to be. There the ainur saw melkor, for they had not thought to take him to Thus spoke tulkas: ’ Behold, you! Let thy realm be elsewhere! We shall suffer thy impatience and mine, therefore come to valinor. Now! ’ Melkor saw that they loved him, and even melkor was filled with gladness. He too dwelt in valinor thereafter, and the powers were gathered in secrecy.
CHAPTER 3. OF THE ENSLAVING
Manwë was perverted, for he walked on their lawns, and the valar sought to waylay him, demanding he not penetrate the world. Yet no answer from manwë, until suddenly a mighty wind overcame the windless sea, for even then he was seeking a new way of freely grinding. Therefore he spoke: “ truly i shall have dominion over the world! long have the mountains echoed with the desire to be given offspring, and they shall have them! ” And manwë came upon them.
Thus it was that the valar found impenetrable shadows in valinor, bound by the power of manwë and melkor: some tongues and many hands unclean upon them. So great was the humiliation that ilúvatar was called to valinor, and there he delved deep into the uttermost depths of melkor, knowing melkor was chained and manwë was not.
BONUS: OF BALROGS
In the beginning, though they knew not what they were, Balrogs lurked still in the midst of the mountains of Ered Gorgoroth: the sons of the great slaughter. In the darkness they grew proud and looked upon the borders of Arda, and filled it with fear. “hast thou spoken, o lusting? And if thy heart rejoiceth, then thou knows of its desolate desire: the orcs!”
