New Challenge: Potluck Bingo
Sit down to a delicious selection of prompts served on bingo boards, created by the SWG community.
Short stories, ficlets, and drabbles set at many points in the RAFA 'verse, from the Years of the Trees to RAFA itself. Each story has a separate rating.
This is a place for short contributions or graphics (mostly but not all from Back-to-Middle-earth Month 2012). The title is from "He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven" by William Butler Yeats. Some are serious and some are silly.
Added "Death of Arvedui" graphic.
Nerdanel has a suitor
Fingolfin persuades Feanor to make something nice for Finarfin's begetting day. Feanor, the mastermind, is devious and poor Finarfin is in for a nasty surprise...
Very short pieces set in Beleriand or Valinor, some of which are slightly experimental.
Now added: Shadowy Cloak (Beren and Luthien, after the fall of Tol-in-Gaurhoth)
Maedhros likens some of his loved ones to the elements.
It is told that Fëanáro was exiled to Formenos for threatening his half-brother with a sword. But what was Fëanáro’s true feeling when seeing his place of exile? A response to the prompt “Unexpected Gratitude”.
Feanor can see her, so why don't they believe him?
In the Time of the Trees, during the Bliss of Valinor, the young family of Fëanor experience the everyday triumphs and tragedies of life in paradise. But as Fëanor's genius blossoms and his sons grow into their roles in Tirion society, tensions build that will sunder the House of Finwë and drive the House of Fëanor to open rebellion.
Completed!
In Aman, Anairë feels the death of her husband.
Fëanáro is not quite sure how he feels about being the father of seven children...
Summary: In response to the prompt “The Tempest”, a unique look at the closing events of the Years of the Trees.
Maedhros stands aside at Losgar. As such actions go, it's remarkably inadequate.
Summary: On the eve of leaving Tirion for Alqualondë and Middle-earth, Fëanáro anguishes over his Oath and his choice.
It is written that Fëanáro first met Nerdanel when working in the forge of her father, Mahtan, as an apprentice. Did she fall in love with him right away? Here is one possibility. Written for Tolkien Weekly prompt “archery”.
A grandchild of Fëanor finds her niche in his forge. Winner of Honorable Mention in ALEC April 2011.
A friend told me that according to one place in HoME, Feanor gave the Elessar to Maedhros just before his death. If the gem was so important as being able to come into Feanor's mind in his last moment, that Maedhros should (casually??) send it to Fingon later would seem strange - unless he was instructed to.
BwME Day 14 - explore rites or rituals. Feanor presents his son to the only Power that matters to him.
B2ME Day 13 - A story about prayers, pleas or requests unanswered. What if "someday my Prince will come" isn't always a good thing?
Fëanor finds that his feelings toward his little brother are not as black-and-white as he thinks they are. Pure fluff.
B2ME Day 10 - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Watch out for what you wish for.
Did Melkor truly love the dark?
A place to store short stories, ficlets and challenge responses that don't really warrant being archived on their own.
