'If only that dratted wizard will leave young Frodo alone, perhaps he'll settle down and grow some hobbit-sense,' they said. And to all appearance the wizard did leave Frodo alone, and he did settle down, but the growth of hobbit-sense was not very noticeable. Indeed, he at once began to carry on Bilbo's reputation for oddity. He refused to go into mourning; and the next year he gave a party in honour of Bilbo's hundred-and-twelfth birthday, which he called Hundred-weight Feast.

All the Tides of the World by Fiondil
Even the Valar need help now and then, and, in this case, they receive it from an unexpected source. A tale inspired by comments made by Gandalf and Melian (in my stories "Sent Unto Men, Part II" and "Lúthien's Gift"). My thanks to Alassiel for being such a great beta-mom. Hopefully, one day I can return the favor.

Pip-napped! by Dreamflower
It seems that Dana wanted to see a story about a "pip-napping"--a story in which Pippin is kidnapped. Lindelea wrote a very promising story-starter for one, and kindly put it up for grabs. This is the result.

Lighting Fires by Gwynnyd
How do you convince a boy to stop skipping school when he doesn't know he's supposed to grow up to be king? Elrohir gets handed the task by a very exasperated Erestor, and learns some things about Estel he didn't expect. For Allie Meril, who wanted something about a student of Arda: in any study, any place, any time. With many thanks to the legion of beta readers who helped me thwap this into shape and caught, hopefully, all my typos and backwards curly quotes: River Girl, Beregond5, Sulriel, Gandalf's Apprentice, Pen52, Oshun, LadyA, Patti Baggins, and anyone else I may have forgotten. Edited 9/9/06: italics added, typos fixed
