And the Winner Is ...

The Silmarillion is full of characters at the peak of their physical and intellectual capabilities, characters both wise and wondrous. What happens when Middle-earth's top contenders face off against each other? This challenge asks writers to pit two characters against each other to see who wins. Characters can fight physically or match their wits or even magic. From epic clashes in the tradition of Fingolfin vs. Melkor or Finrod vs. Sauron to the more everyday struggles of who will win a game, an argument, or the hand of a loved one, we look forward to seeing who will be named a winner.
