Tolkien quote of the day:

No thank you, O Smaug the Tremendous!' he replied. 'I did not come for presents. I only wished to have a look at you and see if you were truly as great as tales say. I did not believe them.'

'Do you now?' said the dragon somewhat flattered, even though he did not believe a word of it.

'Truly songs and tales fall utterly short of the reality, O Smaug the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities,' replied Bilbo.

bullet Leaves of the Wood by Lissas Elves Last Updated: 9/5/2008
A place for unrelated vignettes and short stories about the lives of ordinary Wood-elves. Probably only interesting to tree-huggers like me.

bullet Just Rocks by Calenlass Last Updated: 9/5/2008
Even simple things such as rocks can hold some importance. Featuring Estel and Erestor. Written for OAA Prompt 127—Stone. This counts as a normal fic, however, because I couldn’t make the 500 mark. Complete. (I'm sorry if this has been reuploaded; something happened to it and it disappeared)

bullet Lengths and Measures by Thundera Tiger Last Updated: 9/1/2008
In Mirkwood's elven stronghold, it is usually the King and the Prince that meet, but by the end of that meeting, it is often the father and the son that speak.

bullet No by Antane Last Updated: 8/30/2008
"All this last day Frodo had not spoken, but had walked half-bowed, often stumbling, as if his eyes no longer saw the way before his feet. Sam guessed that among all their pains he bore the worst, the growing weight of the Ring, a burden on the body and a torment to his mind." A glimpse into that torment. The Red Book is very briefly quoted/paraphrased from within the story.

bullet Nesting by Antane Last Updated: 8/26/2008
Nesting takes place in the fifth month of pregnancy or so I have been told, but this time it's Frodo's who has got it bad (and Rose some too) as he prepares Bag End for the birth of his niece. A good amount of fluff and some angst. A birthday mathom for our beloved Queen Galdadriel! Happy day, ammelda! Melinyel and God bless! *hugs*

Frodo and Gandalf saw Bilbo settled in at Tol Eressea. Now they are back, and Frodo's feeling much more himself than he has in a very long time.

I apologize to any who missed seeing Chapter 15.)
