Echoes in the Water - Dol Amroth and Language of Flowers - Gladiolus, Strength of Character. Hmmm...

*eyes the weird way the marks on that card are going* XD

I wonder what other O68s are out there. *goes to see*

[zdenka]

Well, my cards have "honey," "apprehension," and femslash "set in other Tolkien worlds or Crossover." Happy writing, whichever prompts you pick!

[kayleearafinwiel]

"honey" and "apprehension" in combination with femslash just make me wonder exactly where that might go, lol!

[zdenka]

Well, my plan right now is to use "apprehension" for one femslash ficlet and "other Tolkien worlds" for a different one. I haven't decided what to do with "honey" yet. It may or may not involve femslash! (I know I can't write a story every day, so I don't worry about keeping each day's prompts together.)

My cards have "desert" and "Bombur"!

[kayleearafinwiel]

oh, that's an interesting combination, Lin! Do you think Thorin's Company might have traveled through the desert at some point?

[linaewen]

It's possible, I suppose, but I think I'd do better not combining these two and using them in separate fics, if I can. I'm behind with my writing after a day away from my computer, so I'll see what new prompts come up and what ideas I get for combining. Sometimes it works great that the day's prompts go together into a single fic, other times it's not so easy!

Ahahaha, that gives me five prompts to write for! (And I was just starting to think I might actually catch up with the past few days (after just sending two stories off to my beta)... XD)

These are mine for O68:
Denethor (Five Books, Five Characters)
Footsteps and Whispers (Horror)
“Don’t do anything I would do, and definitely don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. There’s a little grey area in there, and that’s where you operate.” (Movie Quotes) (Oh gosh, this one in combination with Denethor... XDXDXD)
a desert (Person vs. Nature)
pipeweed (Smells) (Yay, finally one for this card, now I just need to get a mark on my Tengwar card.)

I very much doubt I'm going manage to combine them all into one story like I usually try to.

Also, at this point I'm willing to bet that the horror card is going to be the first of mine that will give me a bingo opportunity. It's had a mark for every day except one so far. :)

An intriguing set of prompts! :D I wouldn't know how to put them all in one story either. But I know I won't manage a story each day, so for myself I just mix and match from different days' prompts together.

[octopus_fool]

I know I'm unlikely to manage to write something for every day and every prompt, but I'm definitely going to try! ;)
But yes, I'm definitely going to have to break these prompts into two or more stories.

Donut: *examines Denethor thoughtfully*

*Donut decides that Denethor could probably use a fish or three and wonders what Octofish friend thinks*

*giggles*

Well, we'll have to see what Octopus does with Denethor, won't we, Donut? :)

Donut: *nods* Octofish friend Mine. :) *is excited seagull-muse*

[octopus_fool]

Why does that make me of Monty Python's fish slapping dance? XD

*giggles while imagining Donut's reaction to that would be*

I was planning to write about Finduilas for my "Windows, mirrors and statues" horror prompt from the previous day, so I might be able to fit Denethor in with "Footsteps and Whispers" for a second part, we'll see. Writing Denethor is always a bit tricky for me because it's always so tempting to cast him as a slightly unpleasant character, even though I know we were mostly seeing his worst sides in the books. So I'm not really sure how it will turn out yet...
