b2mem | Daisy Gamgee's Fresh Flowers, Herbs and Produce (The Shire)

The best of the Shire's most famous farms and gardens: come here for the most fragrant flowers of Hobbiton, herbs from Buckland and beyond, including sweet galenas from the Southfarthing, and the freshest and largest vegetables in Arnor. (This stall is for prompts set in the Shire.)

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.

What about a story about Bilbo's childhood or youth, featuring his parents?

Yes, what about that...Hmm...^.^ What's the age difference between Bilbo and Dora, again? :)

Twelve years; Bilbo was born in SR. 1290; Dora in SR. 1302.

Thank you :D I can't promise anything, you know my Muse and its fickleness, but I may do this one!

While Saradoc Brandybuck is either picking up or dropping off Merry at Bag End, Saradoc tries to explain the job of the Master of Buckland to a young, curious, Samwise Gamgee. Other characters welcome, the other Gamgee kids, Frodo listening in, Bilbo, the Gaffer, whatever you like.

Frodo decides to plant a section of the garden himself, believing he will enjoy raising his own tomatoes, potatoes, whatever you want him to attempt to grow is fine. How well does he do? Does he get any help? Is Sam offended? Amused? Annoyed?
This can be pre-Quest of post-Quest.

Claiming this one!!

Well, here goes another farthing! I hope I won't be broke before the Faire officially opens!

I love this prompt, GW!

This prompt is inspired by

engarian's beautiful poem she posted recently in the

tolkien_weekly community: http://tolkien-weekly.livejournal.com/1088010.html

It got me thinking about Sam and his love for gardens and how that would look once he leaves Middle-earth. I would dearly love to see something written that would involve Sam and the gardens of Lorien (Irmo) in Valinor. How could Sam have that experience without it killing him? Some sort of special dispensation? A dream? An out of body experience? Hand wave the problem away? (I'd probably do that :-) Whatever inspires you will be great!

At some point after Frodo becomes Master of Bag End, one or both of his cousins comes for an extended visit. Either Merry or Pippin gets hurt or is sick, and Frodo becomes the main caregiver. I prefer the book-verse timeline, so that his cousins are considerably younger than he is. And Sam can be a part of it too, but I'd prefer he not take over Frodo's role as caregiver. Competent Frodo is definitely a plus.

OK, GW, I've resisted this one long enough. *forks over another farthing*

I'm glad. My muse doesn't seem to be writing now but the prompts still turn up. I shall look forward to your story.

: )
I enjoy Saradoc. He used to be one of my favorite hobbits to write about.

Sam did travel to Eressea to reunite with Frodo when he was old, so I see no problem with that. It would be just a short trip to Valinor and the gardens :) (I don't think the Ban of Valar is very clear about whether he would be allowed there or not...)

I think I would like to claim this one for a drawing - is that alright?

of course! Have fun!

♥ competent Frodo :-)

I wasn't going to buy this, but it blends with my poem as well as another one I purchased, so I may as well work with it. Much thanks for using my work as your jumping-off point. I'm honored. (bows)

Here's your farthing...

- Erulisse (one L)

Before Blbo leaves the Shire for good, Sam gets badly sick or hurt (perhaps on the job); his illness or injury could be life-threatening. Frodo and Bilbo have to take care of him. Merry and Pippin can be visiting when that happens, if you wish.

(Have I just used up a farthing?)

Yes, it costs one farthing to leave a prompt.

Good thing I've got more, then!

Yes. You spend one farthing per prompt; one farthing per claim. You earn one farthing per review (reviews to be on this year's

b2mem).

Edited 2015-03-02 21:35 (UTC)

I shall try not to spend it all in one place!

I'll look forward to seeing this!

Thanks.

Now to see if there are any takers! [crosses fingers] Oh, and write it in book-verse, please!

Frodo is planning a farm raid in the Marish. Who does he involve and how do they carry it out?

I will take this one, Kathy. Have a farthing.
