Suggestion of NancyBrooke:
Who'da Thunk It? Challenge
Write a story exposing something we never knew about a canon character; comical, scandalous or serious so long as it's supportable.
For example.... Boromir is a great dancer, having been forced to learn as a child.
Legolas is afraid of the dark, having been brought up in the constant light of his father's halls and
glowing friends and family
Aragorn once got lost in Rivendell
Gimli has a wife and children

Does that mean we might expect an entry from you? I'd look forward to that ...

Not a chance.
Just thought it was an interesting suggestion, and one that plenty of people could get their teeth into.

*Whistles innocently* Hey, that Leggy falling on his rump challenge never got any takers...Hmm...How hard would it be to reopen that?
I think I'm an obsesive compulsive quiz-taker, challenge-submiter now...I have no life  How embarassing

It really wouldn't be that hard to reopen a challenge, but we have quite a few that we should issue before we start re-issuing old ones. Feel free to use any of the closed challenges as fic ideas, though! (ps, I'd like to see Leggy fall on his rump. Talk about kiss and make better )
And I salute your compulsion. Thank you so much for supporting these challenges by writing for them. |

Yes...forum respondant too.... *Digs herself deeper into the fandom pit of hell*
But it's all so much fun, I can be a Tolkien geek and nobody cares, because we're all Tolkien geeks! Really boosts the self-esteem

Yes, it's a great moment when you realize you aren't the only one.

Oops, have to be more careful.... (I can't STAND star trek) And there I go again... Not that I'm any better, I'm just a Lord of the Rings version What do you think that's called? Is there a name yet?

As far as I know, the LOTR fans are called Ringers ... 
I am not sure though
