Wow, this is awesome! What a creative idea and cool tribute. I love this:
I sit in my castle before my keyboard and think in gratitude that the roots of Arda are still strong, for stories grew green and thick as leaves
because that was the spirit in which someone (I don't even know who!) suggested the first B2MeM: to keep Middle-earth alive, even when we don't have movies to look forward to. (Which, interestingly enough, we've all managed to do well enough that we are again in the midst of a Tolkien movie trilogy!)

Thank you for this. :)
