Tolkien quote of the day:

'See here, Captain! ' He planted himself squarely in front of Faramir his hands on his hips, and a look on his face as if he was addressing a young hobbit who had offered him what he called `sauce' when questioned about visits to the orchard. There was some murmuring, but also some grins on the faces of the men looking on: the sight of their Captain sitting on the ground and eye to eye with a young hobbit, legs well apart, bristling with wrath, was one beyond their experience. `See here! ' he said. `What are you driving at? Let's come to the point before all the Orcs of Mordor come down on us! If you think my master murdered this Boromir and then ran away, you've got no sense; but say it, and have done! And then let us know what you mean to do about it. But it's a pity that folk as talk about fighting the Enemy can't let others do their bit in their own way without interfering. He'd be mighty pleased, if he could see you now. Think he'd got a new friend, he would.'

bullet Eä's Redemption by AaronSecret Last Updated: 11/27/2024
This is my new poetical attempt to add my own interpretation to Tolkien's Cosmology as to Eru's Creation and the Valar's minds and behind-the-scene providence reasons and mechanisms.. I often review Eä as part of our own world, just in another dimension, this is why I have always seriously thought on the matter who the Ainur are, who Eru is, how he matches our own religious pantheon, and this has been conducted after serious research of many esoteric teachings of our own planet's heritage.

bullet The Unquenchable Light by Virtuella Last Updated: 11/23/2024
Many years ago, I wrote a silly little story about Aragorn and Arwen planning their daughter’s wedding, and for this I invented a character called the Archseraph of Kûz, a ridiculously wealthy country far to the East of Gondor which, so Aragorn says, “nobody even knew existed twenty years ago.” But all things are connected, and this is the story of the role that Kûz played in the war against Sauron. I have used what little is known in canon about the remote East of Middle-earth, and then greatly

bullet The Tenth Walker by Lindelea Last Updated: 11/22/2024
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. Chapters are about as long as a pony's attention span. New: At the base of Caradhras.

bullet Drabbles by Lindelea Last Updated: 11/3/2024
Drabble, by definition, a story told in exactly 100 words, plus an optional title of 15 words or less. Quite a challenge. New drabble added in commemoration of All Souls' Day: As Long as Hope Remains (Remembering the departed, part 2).

bullet Let Sleeping Dogs Lie by Lindelea Last Updated: 8/16/2024
While in Minas Tirith after the end of the War of the Ring, surely the hobbits were showered with presents from a grateful populace, or at least the people tried to shower them with presents. This is the story of one awkward but lovable gift, and a unique solution to the problem. Final chapter added: Epilogue. Also added to the "Prologue and Explanation": a remembrance of Panda, who has joined Zoe on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
