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.

I want an Origins story -- characters optional--but I like to think of Beleg for one
Date: 2015-02-25 04:32 pm (UTC). . . It was Beleg the hunter,
who farthest fared of his folk abroad
a hunting by hill and hollow valley,
Who care not for concourse and commerce of men.
He was great of growth and goodly limbed,
But light of girth, and lightly on the ground
His footsteps fell as he fared towards them,
All garbed in grey and green and brown—
A son of the wilderness who wist no sire.
That last line indicates to me that he was born on the shores of Cuiviénen. I talked about his origins in my character bio on the SWG site.
Earendil/Elwing, het, their canonically young marriage
Date: 2015-02-26 10:59 pm (UTC)Earendil and Elwing got married at the age of 22, which for humans would be fine, but for Elves is ridiculously young, probably not even at the age of puberty yet. Elves are roughly the equivalent of 18 years old at/about age 50, so age 22 for a full elf would be about 8 or 9 for a human. Considering that both have some human blood, they probably at least went through puberty before getting married, but it really doesn't seem like much more than that.
So, how did they figure out their relationship, given their unique statuses as part-human, part-elven (and for Elwing, part-Maia)? And who, if anyone, gave permission for them to be married, or did they just get carried away by their hormones and have a marriage ceremony 'in the moment'?
As explicit or not, as you like and feel comfortable with! It's something I've not really seen much treatment of, and I have a lot more sympathy for Earendil and Elwing after figuring this out.

Date: 2015-02-28 12:19 am (UTC)... I will probably come back over the weekend because I have no self control. I only wanted to pick up three prompts. I already have two. I don't know who I'm fooling.
Cuiviénen, femslash
Date: 2015-02-28 05:29 am (UTC)Optional: This prompt was inspired by Anna Margolin's poem Drowse on, My Beloved, and if you want to go for that as additional inspiration, please do!
Drowse on, my beloved, drowse on.
You are like new brown forest earth.
Your eyes are full of sky.
I your peace and I your sword
now watch over heaven and earth.
Every star in amazement hears
what I whisper in your sleep.

Date: 2015-03-01 08:20 pm (UTC)Any Character/Genre, Culture of Angband
Date: 2015-03-01 11:27 pm (UTC)It is highly unlikely that Angband was a true prison in the sense that everything and everyone was strictly controlled and regimented. Even if it was (or in the parts that were), its residents were human and so inclined to develop cultures and societies, similar to those that form in real-world prisons. This prompt is for all stories about the cultures or societies that might have developed in Angband. For example, what was family life like for an Orc in Angband? What education or training did youngsters go through? Among those imprisoned there, how did they spend their days? Did black market economies develop? What kinds of relationships did they form with the permanent residents (Orcs, etc) there?
A positive take on Angband certainly isn't required but bonus points for challenging Tolkien's assumptions or revealing some of the biases that affect how we see the people who live in this land.
