I have a poem written based on a fic in the archives (it is not my fic). Does anyone want to hazzard a guess as to where I should post it? Bombadil's? A/U? Also, what exactly is the definition of a lay? As I only possess the Silm and Undying Tales at this time, they are neither forthcoming on this subject. I thought I might try my hand at writing one, but not if I do not understand the concept.

My simple understanding is that all poems go in Bombadil's. Does it have A/U elements? or is it just that it's based on another fic that you say it is A/U.
Of course, the admins are most qualified to answer this, but did that stop me? Noooo.

I decided it was A/U because it is based on an A/U fic. It really has nothing in it to make it definitively Tolkien. It could apply to any age in our own history.

I went ahead an put it in A/U. I did not want to bother the admins right now, knowing that Robbie and Dol are on holiday, and Scribe is probably pulling her hair out trying to deal with the big stuff. If they want me to, I can move it later. I just thought that A/U was better than Bombadil's as it deals with the more Tolkienesque writings. And thank you for your input. So many read, but few respond. Sometimes it is most frustrating.
