bullet Meetings and Counsel (Drabbling the CoE Aftermath) by Wayfarer Last Updated: 9/21/2006
FULL TITLE - Meetings and Counsel: Drabbling the Aftermath of the Council of Elrond (An occassional series). "The Council of Elrond" is a pivotal chapter in LotR, bringing many many characters together, almost like a ME equivalent of a UN conference. This is a drabble series to fill some of the gaps relojes replicas the good Prof left us to ponder. Chronology random. (Canon-conscientious. Constructive criticism most welcome.)

bullet From Where I Am by Rowan Last Updated: 9/20/2006
Merry remembers three times when Frodo left home.

bullet All the Tides of the World by Fiondil Last Updated: 9/16/2006
Even the Valar need help now and then, and, in this case, they receive it from an unexpected source. A tale inspired by comments made by Gandalf and Melian (in my stories "Sent Unto Men, Part II" and "Lúthien's Gift"). My thanks to Alassiel for being such a great beta-mom. Hopefully, one day I can return the favor.

bullet Pip-napped! by Dreamflower Last Updated: 9/13/2006
It seems that Dana wanted to see a story about a "pip-napping"--a story in which Pippin is kidnapped. Lindelea wrote a very promising story-starter for one, and kindly put it up for grabs. This is the result.
