"Elf Counsel" by Lyra

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: "The Vikings invade Britain" on the Maglor in History BINGO card (an uncalled number, G47), and the 2009 prompt for March 22, the principle of Roman law.

Format: Short Story (1165 words)

Genre: none in particular

Rating: General

Warnings: n/a

Characters: Maglor, Alfred the Great

Pairings: n/a

Creators' Notes (optional):
"According to the Romans, the basic principle of the law is that agreements should be respected under all circumstances. Do you agree with this? Is there a time in your life when you had to break this principle? When someone broke an agreement with you? Now write a story, poem or create an artwork where characters are forced to break this principle."

As a matter of principle, I disagree with absolute principles. ;) "Under all circumstances" is always a recipe for trouble. Which is why I have made a historical character, hm, not break but rethink this principle. Of course, "agreement" is a relatively weak translation...

Summary: Alfred of Wessex discusses his planned legal reform with his harp teacher.

B2MeM Challenge: 2015, Elfhelm's Fine Saddles, lindahoyland said;

Eomer and Lothíriel have a son, Elfwine the Fair, who must be about Eldarion's age. With a name like that, I bet he's a hellion - he'd have to be, wouldn't he? - doubtless with mad equestrian skillz.

This may not have quite gone where she expected it to...

But it also fits 2012 bingo cards - Talents and skill, G46 - writing.

Format: short story - 1515 words
Genre: General
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
Characters: Elfwine, mention of his family members and OFC,


Creators' Notes; this is set in the same 'verse' as my Éomer/Lothíriel story 'Cushions', some 20 years after the closing scene.

March 24 Prompts

[dawn_felagund]

Here are today’s prompts:

• 2006 -- In the "Tale of the Years" Tolkien tells us about what happens to certain characters each day of March 3019. We challenge you to write about the character(s) he does NOT mention: “Frodo and Samwise make their last journey to the feet of Mount Doom. The Host camps in the Desolation of the Morannon."


• 2007 (t_n_b) -- X: Like excruciating exertions on the way to that crucial cross on the mouldering map


• 2007 (SWG) -- But Sauron caused to be built upon the hill in the midst of the city of the Númenóreans, Armenelos the Golden, a mighty temple; and it was in the form of a circle at the base, and there the walls were fifty feet in thickness, and the width of the base was five hundred feet across the centre, and the walls rose from the ground five hundred feet, and they were crowned with a mighty dome. And that dome was roofed all with silver, and rose glittering in the sun, so that the light of it could be seen afar off; but soon the light was darkened, and the silver became black. For there was an altar of fire in the midst of the temple, and in the topmost of the dome there was a louver, whence there issued a great smoke. And the first fire upon the altar Sauron kindled with the hewn wood of Nimloth, and it crackled and was consumed; but men marvelled at the reek that went up from it, so that the land lay under a cloud for seven days, until slowly it passed into the west.


• 2009 -- Choose your favorite line or quotation from a non-Tolkien source. It can be a book, movie, poem--anything you can think of! Write down that quote. Now create a story, poem, or work of art that relates to it somehow, either the quote itself or the meaning that you take from it.


• 2011 -- Write a story or poem or create artwork using one or more animals as symbols, omens, or metaphors. Use associations and meanings from any culture or source you wish (e.g., Celtic, Native American, Biblical).


• 2012 -- O64
