Tolkien quote of the day:

….Frodo in the actual tale actually takes the Ring and claims it, and certainly he too would have had a clear vision – but he was not given any time: he was immediately attacked by Gollum. When Sauron was aware of the seizure of the Ring his one hope was in tits power: that the claimant would be unable to relinquish it until Sauron had time to deal with him. Frodo too would then probably, if not attacked, have had to take the same way: cast himself with the Ring into the abyss.

bullet The Tenth Walker by Lindelea Last Updated: 5/6/2020
Probably been done before, and perhaps better, but Bill the Pony gave my elbow a nudge this morning, causing me to spill my tea, and he licked up all the sugar from the bowl, and is likely to make a complete nuisance of himself if I don't write down his story. Finding rest on the road from Hollin to Caradhras. (It did take some days...). (Next update: Looks like Friday. Written, but not typed in. Swamped at work, a mixed blessing.)

Update: Planning to make this one large story now - with multiple chapters (lots and lots). Fourth chapter updated 8th April 2020. This story was began a very long time ago, and it was never my intentions to leave it unfinished. I will be going back through and editing a few scenes and adding to a few and fixing errors, now that I hopefully understand the Middle Earth world a little better. I hope to add a sprinkling of "The Hobbit" details in certain places where is needed.

bullet The Green Knight and the Master of Esgaroth by Le Rouret Last Updated: 3/21/2020
Esgaroth is far from Gondor, and its doings rarely affect Legolas, Lord of Dol Galenehtar, and Gimli, Lord of Aglarond. But there is a new Master in Lake Town, deceitful and divisive, sowing discord between the Elves and the Dwarves. Legolas and Gimli travel to northern Rhovanion to sort things out … and find themselves wrapped in a mystery darker than they had anticipated. *NOTE* My personal life has finally settled down, and the story will soon be finished, I promise.
