B2MeM Prompt Generator: Creation

Format: Ficlet
Genre: gen, alternate universe
Rating: gen
Warnings: a female Sauron?
Characters: Mairen (Lady!Sauron), Celebrimbor, Original Character
Pairings: Sauron/Celebrimbor (admittedly as much a complex friendship as anything else)
Creator’s Notes: The room Mairen created was inspired by one of Kusama’s infinity rooms. The title refers to Kusama’s descriptions of her own work which plays tricks with perception through repetition of an image. The apprentice was borrowed, with apologies, from Pandemonium’s “The Apprentice.” This verse is ever and always offered in gratitude to those whose work has moved me.
Summary: Mairen has an unusual surprise for Celebrimbor’s begetting day.

“Should I go?” Tyelperinquar asked. ( Read more... )

B2MeM Prompts: Day 3: Think of something that happened to you today and write down the first thing that comes to mind. Start your fanwork with your character having a similar experience or performing a similar task.

Day 10: At last, weary and feeling finally defeated, he sat on a step below the level of the passage-floor and bowed his head into his hands. It was quiet, horribly quiet. The torch, that was already burning low when he arrived, sputtered and went out; and he felt the darkness cover him like a tide. And then softly, to his own surprise, there at the vain end of his long journey and his grief, moved by what thought in his heart he could not tell, Sam began to sing. (Return of the King, Book VI, Chapter 1)

B2MeM Prompt: March 12: “The Dreaming Tree” by Dave Matthews Band (Use the title, lyrics, song, or a combination as inspiration for your fanwork).
Format: Mixed media: photo edit, with accompanying text
Genre: descriptive
Rating: General
Warnings: none
Characters: n/a
Pairings: n/a
Creator’s Notes: The text is adapted from Tolkien's song about the Ents and the Entwives, with one line sneaked in from Bilbo's rhyme about Aragorn. The image is a (very simple) edit of two of my own photos. Mostly inspired by the title of the song that is the prompt, although I have read the lyrics. (I have not managed to access the song to listen to it, yet.)
Summary: Winter is over; spring is here.
