LOTR Community Challenges

We have had five entries so far in our September 2012 Challenge! The theme of the challenge was "75" in honor of the 75th anniversary of The Hobbit, and each author's prompt was a quotation from the book:

With Eager Feet by Linda Hoyland Aragorn’s seventy fifth birthday seems doomed to be a day much like any other in the life of a Ranger until a chance encounter.
Culture Clash by Erulisse While Glóin goes through the mines to meet his father, he walks down a side passage and almost meets a new clan of dwarves.
"Ring Around the Rosie" by Shirebound The children of the Shire celebrate the Ringbearers... in their own way.
Dark for Dark Business by Larner It feels odd for the Gaffer to be a guest rather than serving tonight....
Kindly Little Soul by Dreamflower Pippin tries to work out when a compliment is not a compliment.

Our thanks to all the authors who participated! And remember that we will always accept late entries!
