For those of you who don't know: The Black Book of Arda is a piece of fan-fiction written by two Russian fans. It is, essentially, a version of the Silmarillion told from the POV of Melkor/Morgoth. It is available, in Russian, in various places around the web, but has never been translated into English. Volunteers must be capable of reading Russian. (The fact that you're reading this message would seem to pre-select for literacy in English, too, but that would be a necessary skill, too.) If you're interested, please contact me via e-mail.
