The "What Have You Done in Middle-earth" Meme! Stoled from juno_magic
This meme was adapted by juno_magic and a bunch of other fannish folks here. I am going to modify it a little further. I am assuming that having "done something" in Middle-earth means having written about it, so instead of simply putting what I've done in boldface, I am going to link to the story where I did it. In bold, I will put those things that I hope to still yet do.
