The Plot by just_jenni

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

B2MEM challenge: G50 - AU - Ar-Pharazon installs his son and heir as Governor of Pelargir among the Faithful...
Format: Short Story
Word Count: 1,057
Genre: Gen
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Characters: Ar-Pharazon, Miriel, Sauron, Elennim*, with mentions of Celebrimbor, Elendil and Isildur
Pairings: None
Summary: As it says in the prompt.

*A/N: Since Ar-Pharazon didn't have a son, I had to make one up. Since he has white hair, I named him Elennim. I have decided to go against the Silmarillion canon, in which Miriel married Ar-Pharazon against her will, and adopt the People of Middle-earth version instead, in which Miriel is very much in love with her cousin/husband.

Expected Downtime of the B2MEM 2012 pages at the SWG

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Hi, all,

Our host has let us know that they plan to do a major software upgrade of the server where Silmarillion Writers Guild is on. This will also affect the B2MEM 2012 pages that are on there. They have informed us that the upgrade will happen within 48 hours’ time (2nd or 3rd of April, they didn't state it that precisely) and in the early morning hours (for the United States, (no timezone was stated)). It is possible that you cannot access the SWG, the Bingo Parlor or cards during the 2 hour planned down time and I wanted to give everyone a heads up about this.

If you have any questions or concers, do contact us at the moderator account (moderator(at)silmarillionwritersguild.org).

With kind regards,

Rhapsody
(B2MEM & SWG moderator)
