  • "Letters from..." by DarkElfChilde

    Started 17 Oct 2006: Ended Fri Feb 01, 2008 9:00 pm

    Any character - good or bad - sending letters to their family members, and saying funny stuff (what's going on, where they are at, and what's on their mind is a few examples). Idea came from 'Letters from Mordor' by Viv. No word limit, but the writer must have it in letter format: the date, who the letter is for, and signed by whatever character they choose to use. Also, have it like it's a monthly letter to the family member.

  • "Romances Gone Wrong" by Alassante

    Started 05 Aug 2006: Ended Wed Aug 30, 2006 11:01 pm

    Originally posted in september 2005

    For some reason none of the challengees managed to post here.

    So here it goes again: you have until August 31st to write or at least start your romance. If you need more time and have at least posted a first chapter, that'd be enough to keep the challenge going ...

    The challenge is to pick a title from a romance novel from the following web site and write about it. These are funny titles so I guess it would be a humor piece (though it doesn't have to be).

    http://www.worldoflongmire.com/features/romance_novels/

    Extra challenge - choose a character not usually used - Grima, Hama, Mouth of Sauron, etc.

    Yes, this does have to -- somehow! -- relate back to Lord of the Rings. Be creative! (Just make sure you're still writing within the guidelines of the site.)

  • "First Age Philandery" by inglor

    Started 20 May 2006: Ended Wed Oct 22, 2008 8:00 pm

    The Elves of the First Age were still young and firey by comparison to the later Elves, and the Men were greater still. The most beautiful/greatest *fill in blank* ever lived in the First Age (Luthien, Finrod, Dior, Turin, Tuor, Feanor, etc.).

    Choose the First Age Character/s who were (or you would like to see) paired up and whose pairing might cause familial embarassment or even serious repercussions.

    Pairings must have in-canon potential (i.e., characters were at least were in the same place at the same time). For example: Finrod-Luthien, Turin-Finduilas, Galadriel-Beleg, Aegnor-Andreth, Idril-Glorfindel, Aredhel-Ecthelion. However, for the sake of self insertion in all its forms, only one participant need be from the Index of the Silmarillion. Just keep it plausible.

    PWP not necessary but encouraged.
