The Dark Rider’s Horses and Other Creatures (Other Silmarillion-based locations)

[mistress-tanwe.livejournal.com]

When you need a mount for wandering far afield to the furthest reaches of Middle-earth. (This is the stall for all prompts that are set in places in the Years of the Trees and First and Second Ages that do not have stalls of their own, such as Cuiviénen and Angband.)

Comments are now closed but you can continue using the prompts; no claiming is necessary.

How to Post your Prompts:

Leave a comment with the subject line identifying the main characters, gen/het/slash/femslash/poly (if it’s not obvious), a brief description of the prompt, and possible warnings if needed (MPTTor SWG’s). The comment itself should be the prompt.

If for some reason you cannot make a subject line appear, please write and bold the relevant information as the first line of your prompt.

The subject lines and/or bold text will allow participants to easily scan for prompts they're interested in.

For example:

Subject line-- Frodo and Aragorn, gen, hurt/comfort at the Field of Cormallen
Comment-- While Frodo is unconscious after being rescued from Mount Doom, Aragorn cares for him.

OR

Comment-- Fëanor/Nerdanel, wedding night, sexual content

On their wedding night, Fëanor and Nerdanel end up not sleeping at all, as they are too busy enjoying each other.

Remember, no fanworks are to be posted in the prompts posts.

Voronwe, a sea-faring adventure

[tehta.livejournal.com]

So here is a little speech Voronwe makes in the Unifinished Tales:

"The Great Sea is terrible, Tuor son of Huor. It hates the Noldor, for it works the Doom of the Valar. Worse things it holds than to sink into the abyss and so perish: loathing, and loneliness, and madness; terror of wind and tumult, and silence, and shadows where all hope is lost and all living shapes pass away. And many shores evil and strange it washes, and many islands of danger and fear infest it. I will not darken your heart, son of Middle-Earth, with the tale of my labour seven years in the Great Sea from the North even unto the South, but never the West.

Now, even assuming that he is exaggerating, as those old sea dogs tend to do, it really does sound like he Saw and Experienced Things that I, for one, would love to read more about, even if this might "darken my heart". I can see the tale being Odyssey-like; or Age-of-Exploration-like; or even just somewhat humorous, on the assumption that Voronwe is full of it.

Sooooo, you've just basically given me an excuse to write The Odyssey as set in Middle-earth? You've actually somehow managed to find my two most favourite things on the planet and suggest a way to combine them?

I can't promise this will be done in March, or fuck, even this year, but dear god, I'm buying this prompt so very hard.

I am VERY happy to hear it.
