Silver Trails
Card: Maglor in History
B1: The launching of Sputnik

and

Card: Maglor in History 2
B1: Roman Empire

I am writing the two chapters of my Maglor story, they will be different chapters.

And:

Card: Sons of Fëanor
B1: Maedhros and Fingon

I am also writing the ficlet for them. :)

Actually I have five elves, or maybe 6 reading over my shoulder so I write their parts faster! ;)

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

So many pairs of eyes, that must be disconcerting! I'd tell them that I'm only slowed down by so many observers... ;)

Noted, will stamp!

[moetushie]

Oh my, I've been waiting for this. :')

[dawn_felagund]

Yay! I love when a number comes up that someone's actually been wishing for. :)

[keiliss.livejournal.com]

Hi Dawn :) Stamps, please?

All OC - s black sheep brother, YES! At last!!
Maglor - the launching of Sputnik - finished, though he'd like another page or two.
Life Events - birth. Done
Maglor 2 - Roman empire
Controversial Topics - LaCE - can't resist *g*
Textures - bumpy

Oh lord, did I really claim six? I was just catching up again.
*comes back* Oops, forgot one:

Relationship - intimacy.

[dawn_felagund]

Yay! OCs finally gets a hit! \0/

I've got you noted for all of these. :)

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

Just_ann_now - Textures, please, and could I add an order of OC's to that? It's a new card for me. That black-sheep brother just jumped up and started talking!

[dawn_felagund]

I've got you! :) I'm going to start stamping now and will add your OC card when I do.

[talktob3cks.livejournal.com]

Today, I'm doing,

B1
-"Sons of Feanor" card- Fingon and Maedhros
-"Women of the Silmarillion" card- Women of the House of Finwe

Thank you!

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Ok, stamped! :)

Oshun claims for b1

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

Sons of Fëanor: Maedhros and Fingon
Economy: Agriculture
Women of the Silmarillion: Women of the House of Finwe

[dawn_felagund]

I'm totally shocked that you're taking on the "Maedhros and Fingon" one! ;)

[willtherebetime.livejournal.com]

Kim, B-1,

First Lines:
Women of the Silmarillion:
Of the Sea
Relationship:

I love how the last few bingo letters have supplied prompts that encouraged my WIP. Success is mine!

Thanks, Dawn!

[dawn_felagund]

Yay! I love hearing that the numbers are working out favorably like that. :)

I've got your stamps noted for B1!

[dwimordene-2011.livejournal.com]

I have started a story that includes so far:
One hundred years of solitude – Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Aspects of Aragorn: Warrior

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

I've jotted this one down... :)

[havamahal.livejournal.com]

B1! *does a happy dance* This is one of those I really wanted to do. Thank you!

Controversial Topics - Laws and Customs of the Eldar
First Lines - It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. - Austen, Pride & Prejudice.
Relationship - intimacy
Sons of Fëanor - Maedhros and Fingon
Women of The Silmarillion - Women of the House of Finwë

I'd say 2000 words in these few hours should count as a good start. ;) Now, if I could only make Aredhel and Telchar behave as nicely in their story as Fingon and Maedhros did here... :/

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

I know, B1 has me squeeing here. Now the time to write.. *sighs*

Will stamp these for you!

[mrowe.livejournal.com]

If I'm not too late, I'd like a stamp for Bingo Card Life Events, B-1 birth.
Thanks, Grey_wonderer

I'm working on it now. ***posted!

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Yay! Go you!

[engarian.livejournal.com]

OK Rhapsody, I think I may finally have figured out an angle I want for my G-51 Fangorn story, and I posted my other G-51, so I am ready to grab my B-1s because I have already put some notes and research together for these. Please stamp:
B-1 - Sons of Feanor - Maedhros and Fingon
Maglor in History 1 - The Launching of the Sputnik
Feanantics - The Motherless Child

- Erulisse (one L)

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Oh that's good to hear. I am trying to tell Maglor to shut up now that the B1 Roman Empire on the Maglor in History cards is called. That's one of the main reasons why I wanted that card because I love that period. :D Just no time now. Ack! Good luck!

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

Oh, bless you. Bless, bless, bless! B1 = Sons of Feanor - Maedhros and Fingon.
*kisses the hem of your robe*

[dawn_felagund]

Idle Leaves - B1

Finrod card (birth, during the noontide)
Emotions card (joy)
Of the Sea card (waves)
Women of the Silmarillion card (women of the house of Finwë)

and

Sons of Fëanor card (Maedhros and Fingon)
Book Title card (Silver on the Tree)

and

Favourite Couples card (Aredhel/Celegorm)
Love in Middle-earth card (love at first sight)
Relationship card (intimacy)

A couple of double-drabble-ish things, and then the Aredhel/Celegorm thing was supposed to be a double drabble but it's turning, instead, into a very sarcastic ficlet.

[dawn_felagund]

Wow--a busy day! :)

Aredhel and Celegorm? Sarcastic?? I can so see that! :)

I've got you noted for your stamps too, of course.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

B1:
Economy: Agriculture
Write what you know: Title and/or lyrics from the last song you listened to
Alternate Viewpoint: Riddles in the Dark

[nelyo-russandol.livejournal.com]

The three of them are done, Altariel!

[elfscribe5.livejournal.com]

For B1 claiming - Emotions - joy; Life events - birth; Of the Sea - waves; Relationship - intimacy; Smells - pine trees; Textures - bumpy

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Will stamp!

[sivanshemesh.livejournal.com]

Emotions Card - Joy
Games People Play Card - Backgammon
Horror Card - Wraiths, Wights (what's that?) and Ghosts
Hurt/Comfort Card - Pnuemonia
Talents and Skills Card - Translating
Aspects of Aragorn Card - Warrior

That's it, all the cards that answered this number... evil grin..

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Stamped you! Well done.

Wights - historically that just is another word for a living being. In some Germanic languages it today is used for small humanoid creatures, like garden gnomes (or, slightly derogatorily, for people).
However, ever since Tolkien called the creepy little monsters the Hobbits encounter on their way from Tom Bombadil's House to Bree "barrow-wights" (after an Icelandic saga, IIRC), "wight" seems to have made its way into English pop culture as some sort of undead monster.
And that's your etymology lesson for today ;)
