  • "OSA Drabble Challenge #116: Politics Make ..." by NancyBrooke

    Started 16 Mar 2009: Ended Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:00 pm

    Tolkien wrote in 1943 “My political opinions lean more and more to Anarchy”, but his work is filled with political systems, both public and private, and nearly everyone in the Fellowship stands to gain by one. So lift the veil on Middle Earth Politics: the night the Tooks took over the Thainship, Cirion having to deal with Eorl, Merry or Pippin succeeding his fathers, Imrahil giving over power in Minas Tirith to Aragorn. Kinship, kinstrife, kin-slaying …

    It’s all Politics.

    Fic may be 100, 200, or 300 words. Deadline will be in two weeks on Monday, March 30, 2009.

    A new drabble challenge will be posted every week, and you'll have two weeks to complete the challenge. To contribute a drabble challenge idea, visit the OSA Drabble Challenges thread in the Bunny Nursery of the Forum. Any problems or questions? Contact the challenge admins.
