bullet The Beloved Leader by Gryffinjack Last Updated: 3/16/2006
Written for Marigold's Challenge #26, where the required elements she gave me of a bad fall and a trophy were just begging to have this story written. This is a tongue-in-cheek tale of what happened after the death of Lalia the Great. My apologies to the entire Took clan.

bullet The Three Towers by shirebound Last Updated: 3/15/2006
A visit to the Tower of Ecthelion in Minas Tirith compels Frodo to return to the Tower of Cirith Ungol, accompanied by the King and the remaining members of the Fellowship. While Frodo struggles to recover lost or unclear memories, many of his companions find themselves making discoveries they did not expect. This story is based in book-verse, with bits of movie-verse interwoven at the author’s discretion. Angst/drama, but (being me) there's enough hobbity lightness to balance things out.

bullet A Drabble by Any Other Name...? by docmon Last Updated: 3/12/2006
At first a place for my Yule Mathoms Challenge entries, I'm now dubbing this a place for my drabbles. I can't always keep a drabble close to 100 words, though I am getting better! More often you'll find drabbles-and-a-half, or double-drabbles. Nevertheless, I will be posting snippets of various sorts, characters, and whatever pops into my head. Some are entries to the few Yule Mathoms Challenge entries I managed. Others are for the "Back to Middle-earth Month" Challenge at There'n'Back Again.
