What I really loved about the first "breaking type" challenge was being assigned a character (and, as it turned out, a little-known character), and having to find his story.
At the moment my muse seems to be in a passive mood. If anyone wants to nudzh her into action, please feel free. Send me a pm with the name of a character - preferably a little-written-about character - and I'll see what I can come up with.
And if you would also like to be personally challenged by OSA's readership, feel free to post to this thread.
Cheers,
NB

This is a really cool idea, Nancy! I really enjoyed writing about a character I didn't know much about as well.
I'd like to be challenged as well.

| Oooh, oooh, I wanna! Er, unless you would be annoyed if I completely assassinated your character via parody, which, apparently, is a bad habit of mine. |

Okay here are my suggestions - -
Eira - Thuringwethil (are you familar with the Silmaril?) If not then Hama of Rohan
Viv - I want you to write a sexy Melian fic since you didn't get to do the RPG 
Nancy - I PM'd yours

Okay - I'll play along. I'm Silm and LOTR literate. And I've seen the movies so many times I know them by heart

I would give you Turin, but you'd probably arrive my place very angry
All right, I'm in. Silm and LotR -- yes; but I've not read the Hobbit

Well, I just wrote down a provisional outline for the plot that sprang into my head earlier, and so far mine looks like it will be 17 chapters long!  *snorts*
No doubt it will be scrapped for a 500 word oneshot, but if not, mine won't see the light of day for at least 3 years! *points at Nancy because it is all her fault really*  |

Oooo, thanks! I've read the Silm, but I don't remember everything too well. We're allowed to research them a bit though, aren't we? I did on Meneldur anyway. I'm going to look up Thuringwethil first and then I might do Hama as well, just for kicks!

Am I the only one who sniggers everytime I see Thuringwethil? It just looks like it should be such a smutty word to me!
Anyone else?

17 chapters...?
I've got an idea for one of my fics, and it'll probably be a one-shot, kind of. I need to do a thorough research, but so far the idea has formed quite nicely.
Good luck with teh
