Found something rather interesting. Is anyone a fan of role-playing gamebooks? Joe Dever the author of the Lone Wolf series generously allowed some of his books to be published free for viewing and downloading at the Project Aon website. You can read it for some inspiration if you're making a quest focused on fantasy in the BROB thread.

Mentioned by Murazor.
In Mist And Shadow is a brief LotR story told from the perspective of an Easterling. Though very roughly written and much, much too short for an adequate exploration of the concepts it tackles, I find its pseudo-lovecraftian interpretation of the Tolkien cosmology shorta/kinda interesting.

By AEMI
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/174797/AEMI
Recommended by Robo Jesus.
It's one of those few well written Self-Inserts, and yes, I do recommend it. Most of the draw to it comes from the fact that the SI totally derails the entire canon plot through her interactions with the other characters, accidentally causes what appears to be the beginnings of a Maiar civil war, and pushes the characters into trying to improve themselves and their situations due to the changed circumstances. There is a link up to a rich text copy of the story somewhere in this thread, and I have a copy of it saved as well.

Suppose Sauron got the Ring.
Recommended by Lavanya Six.
I recently discovered John J. Reilly by way of his obituary. He was not only an essayist and reviewer in alternate history circles, but also a bit of a Tolkien fan on the side. He even wrote an "alternate history" story for The Lord of the Rings where, as described above, Sauron gets the One Ring on the day it returns to Mount Doom.
I am not enough of a LotR fan to give you a proper fannish evaluation of this story I'm reccing, but, with my own limited understanding, I enjoyed what I read well enough. So I'm passing it on here for any big Tolkien fans to take a pass at. It's the story of what happens to Middle Earth in the aftermath of a Sauron victory, as told from the perspective of Bilbo Baggins.

The first moments of your life were painful. You remember only flashes of what happen. There were blurs of red and orange and yellow followed by intense heat, and then all that remained was the cold and darkness. You do not remember much, but none of that matters at this moment. You are a newborn and your only instinct is to survive.
A part of you, the part that makes you unique amongst your kind, tells you to do more than just survive, however. It bestows upon you sentience and you find yourself wanting more. You want to thrive. You want to be the will of your kind, the will of the hivemind.
But that is for the distant future. At this moment, you are but a single, baby Sliver Queen.

This is kind of a weird one, so fair warning...
Basically, this fic plays with a notion that Erskine discusses in the Captain America film about how the supersoldier serum doesn't just make one superhuman, it transforms the outer body into a reflection of a person's inner spirit. In Stephanie's case, she truly and deeply wants to help her country in the war, and in her 1940s mindset a man can best do that. So a man's what she turns into. The exploration of her transformation and the affect it has on the various character relationships is explored at length. Although the fic does a have few weaknesses: it gets a bit cute at times, and it feels very... 'internet fandom,' for lack of a better term... to make Peggy have bi-tendencies. That said, it's a decent enough fic, the basic concept is interesting, and the addition of the Winter Soldier stuff is fun. There are a few typos here and there as well where the author got carelessly copying-'n-pasting for dramatic repetition.
So a three out of four star fic: decent enough if you can look past its flaws.

It's one of those few well written Self-Inserts, and yes, I do recommend it. Most of the draw to it comes from the fact that the SI totally derails the entire canon plot through her interactions with the other characters, accidentally causes what appears to be the beginnings of a Maiar civil war, and pushes the characters into trying to improve themselves and their situations due to the changed circumstances. There is a link up to a rich text copy of the story somewhere in this thread, and I have a copy of it saved as well.

I recently discovered John J. Reilly by way of his obituary. He was not only an essayist and reviewer in alternate history circles, but also a bit of a Tolkien fan on the side. He even wrote an "alternate history" story for The Lord of the Rings where, as described above, Sauron gets the One Ring on the day it returns to Mount Doom.
I am not enough of a LotR fan to give you a proper fannish evaluation of this story I'm reccing, but, with my own limited understanding, I enjoyed what I read well enough. So I'm passing it on here for any big Tolkien fans to take a pass at. It's the story of what happens to Middle Earth in the aftermath of a Sauron victory, as told from the perspective of Bilbo Baggins.

The first moments of your life were painful. You remember only flashes of what happen. There were blurs of red and orange and yellow followed by intense heat, and then all that remained was the cold and darkness. You do not remember much, but none of that matters at this moment. You are a newborn and your only instinct is to survive.
A part of you, the part that makes you unique amongst your kind, tells you to do more than just survive, however. It bestows upon you sentience and you find yourself wanting more. You want to thrive. You want to be the will of your kind, the will of the hivemind.

Loki had given a lot of thought to what his punishment might be but this one might be the worst of all. Apparently he was going to be redeemed. By THOR. That was such a bad idea it was painful. Where was an abyss to be thrown into when you needed it?

From first principles is an amazingly deadpan dissection of all the WTF, science? and WTF, strategy? moments in the Avengers. It makes me giggle, because this is exactly the stort of "how do I rationalize this?" analysis I tend to annoy my friends with.

So there's this project Tony has been working on since he was ten years old which is only marginally less awesome than the specs for the TARDIS he totally could have built if Fury would've just let him had the Tesseract for a couple hours longer.

Stephanie Rogers goes into the chamber. Somebody they decide to call Steve Rogers comes out. Genderswap-ish Captain America with lashings of comic canon. Also, the pronouns, as you can imagine, are a mess. PG-13.
Recommended by Lavanya Six.
This is kind of a weird one, so fair warning...
Basically, this fic plays with a notion that Erskine discusses in the Captain America film about how the supersoldier serum doesn't just make one superhuman, it transforms the outer body into a reflection of a person's inner spirit. In Stephanie's case, she truly and deeply wants to help her country in the war, and in her 1940s mindset a man can best do that. So a man's what she turns into. The exploration of her transformation and the affect it has on the various character relationships is explored at length. Although the fic does a have few weaknesses: it gets a bit cute at times, and it feels very... 'internet fandom,' for lack of a better term... to make Peggy have bi-tendencies. That said, it's a decent enough fic, the basic concept is interesting, and the addition of the Winter Soldier stuff is fun. There are a few typos here and there as well where the author got carelessly copying-'n-pasting for dramatic repetition.
So a three out of four star fic: decent enough if you can look past its flaws.
