New Challenge: Bollywood
This month's challenge offers songs, films, and tropes from Bollywood, the world's largest film industry based out of India, as prompts for fanworks.
Those were tough times I had of it, up north,
scouting out orc holes amid rock and ice,
the fumes the Ered Engrin belched forth,
constant danger, lack of rest—not nice,
but what got to me was going it alone,
for months never seeing a friendly face,
until I shed tears, cold to the bone
with more than wind chill—yes, a sorry case—
but, oh, when I turned home south again,
how warm a welcome, such praise and gifts,
I received from my own Lord Malach then,
that, remembering, my heart still lifts,
and more—the Elven King himself, of high fame,
poured mulled wine for me, spoke my name!
