My apologies for being absent of late, but I think that is going to be more of a trend than I would wish. I have not been able to even keep up with what is going on around here much less comment (not that I was a frequent commenter before). The dynamics of LJ being what it is, I don't think it is fair for me to post without being able to read or comment on other folks' posts.
But, I have put up an important challenge post over at
lotr_fic_recs, so I make an exception here. At this point in the fandom, I think it is important to make sure we leave a clear trail for those who come after us. This challenge asks you to recommend the archive sites and individual author sites which provide LotR stories, songs, poems, or art. These do not have to be your favorites. (And I know some of you have comprehensive lists!)
Thanks to
tweedle_ who has gotten a headstart on everyone with recs. And much thanks to my anonymous gifter for your kind words!
