• The 12Days Challenge

  Over the holidays, I took part in a challenge on a site called, 12Days. The challenge was to write one story a day for 12days dealing with the verses of the song, "Twelve Days of Christmas". Here are the stories. Each chapter is its own little story and each is based on one line of the song. This is filled with hobbits, the occasional elf, and even an Orc and NONE of these are my characters. Everything belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien. Most of the stories have nothing at all to do with Christmas or Yule.

• Merry's Anger

  This is a small chapter which takes place just after Gandalf rides off on Shadowfax with Pippin in RETURN OF THE KING. I felt that there was a scene missing and this is my effort to correct that.

Maybe it will be in the Extended DVD, but until then this is what I think might have happened. (Written for Marigold's Feb. Challenge)
