I don't usually do drama that well, so I'm not sure how this reads.  But Part Three is in response to this challenge:

Day Nineteen: Rivendell
Today's Challenge:
"Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is a type of heaven."
--Tryon Edwards.
Write a story or create a piece of artwork centered on meetings or reunions.

( Homecoming, Part Three )

Day 30: Grey Havens
Today's Challenge:
"You can never go home again, but the truth is you can never leave home, so it's all right."
--Maya Angelou

Write a story or poem, or create a piece of art on the theme of leaving or returning home.

My answer is:

( Homecoming, Part Two )

Three separate prompts for B2MeM were combined to create Homecoming.  They're posted as a single entity over on Tolkienfanfiction but separately here because of the word limit.  The story is a gap-filler, inspired by this line in Reparation-"Certainly, he was not looking forward to the interview in which he informed his oath-brother that he’d ( Read more... )

More Heth and Tel-this time for the Shire prompt:

Today's Challenge:
The cuisine of the Shire is unsurpassed. Write a story or poem, or create a work of art, featuring food.

( Supper Time )

Today's Challenge:
There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us. 'Tis good to give a stranger a meal, or a night's lodging. 'Tis better to be hospitable to his good meaning and thought, and give courage to a companion. We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, ( Read more... )

I always admire folks who can do all these challenges thematically.  It usually doesn't work for me, but this year it looks like I might be able to do at least a few with Hethlin and Tel as the unifying theme.  I'm not writing the prompts in any order and the stories aren't in chronological order either, though I'll probably post them on TFF as a ( Read more... )

As you can see, I'm not doing these in any particular order.  The destination for this day was Arnor and the challenge was to begin a story with these words:

A gentle breeze brushed the hilltop, combing the ruins...

Today's Challenge:
"There would be no one to frighten you if you refused to be afraid."

-Ghandi

Write a story or poem or create artwork where the character conquers his or her fears.

This started out being a story about Brand getting over his fear of water, then it turned into something else.  I had a couple of inspirations for this one.  First of all ( Read more... )

As you can see, I've fallen a bit behind in B2MeM this year and all I can say in my defense is that if the prompts keep inspiring full-length stories then I will continue to do so and never get all my passport stamps!

The Day Two challenge: 
Defiance is defined as the willingness to contend or fight. Write a story or poem or create artwork where ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been a while hasn't it?  As usual B2MeM is getting my creative juices flowing.  Here's the prompt for Day One:

Today's Challenge:
Voltaire said that it's not enough to conquer: one must learn to seduce. Write a story or poem or create artwork where seduction plays a central role.

And my answer, a drabble rather unimaginatively called:
