The Henneth Annun yahoo group and There and Back Again Live Journal community run a challenge for writers for the 25 days preceding December 25th. Each challenge has a Middle Earth theme. The writers were to respond to the challenge with a drabble, a ficlet, or short story based on the challenge. My stories, as posted here at SoA, will include the date of the challenge and the challenge title, if different from my title.

Thanks to Juno Magic, the There and Back Again community, and the HA yahoo group for inspiring me and so many talented writers with this wonderful challenge.
