Tolkien quote of the day:

None too soon was this done; for after the assault the King yielded to Sauron and felled the White Tree, and turned then wholly away from the allegiance of his fathers. But Sauron caused to be built upon the hill in the midst of the city of the Númenóreans, Armenelos the Golden, a mighty temple;....... For there was an altar of fire in the midst of the temple, and in the topmost of the dome there was a louver, whence there issued a great smoke. And the first fire upon the altar Sauron kindled with the hewn wood of Nimloth, and it crackled and was consumed; but men marvelled at the reek that went up from it, so that the land lay under a cloud for seven days, until slowly it passed into the west.

Akallabeth, The Silmarillion

bullet Spellbound by shirebound Last Updated: 4/7/2005
What are the Barrow-wights? Why did the wight tell Frodo that they were “waiting” for him? What did it plan for the hobbits, and why? How were the hobbits lured up to the Great Barrow? What explains why Frodo was treated differently than the other hobbits, awakened sooner, and found the strength to resist the call of the Ring in such a desperate situation? This story is my own look at the events on the Barrow-downs from the FOTR chapter ‘The Fog on the Barrow-downs’.

A collection of drabbles for miscellaneous events, mostly birthdays. There are many different characters and situations, including a couple of AU's. Technically, they're drabbles, but many are double drabbles. (I tend to be too wordy to restrict the story to 100 words! )
