B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: I25, Of the Sea, Shirish
Format: chaptered story, though it could probably be read on its own.
Genre: drama, family, romance, recipe!fic
Rating: PG
Warnings:
Characters: Pippin Took, Merry Brandybuck, Marigold (Gamgee) Cotton, Sam Gamgee, Frodo Baggins
Pairings: Merry/Estella, Pippin/Diamond (in later chapters)
Creator’s Notes (optional): I disclaim "The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late", of which a part is quoted.
Summary: The spring after the Travellers return to the Shire, Pippin receives orders to resume his duties as the Thain's Heir, by attending the Brockenborings Spring Festival among the North-tooks. That's a bit too far from Crickhollow for Pippin's liking, but Merry won't let him make the journey alone. Chapter Two brings our lads from Budgeford to Bag End...

Format: chaptered story, though it could probably be read on its own.
Genre: drama, family, romance
Rating: PG
Warnings: Fatty's nickname isn't as apt anymore. Although perhaps help is at hand. Also, this is a kissing book, though no more than that, I think.
Characters: Pippin Took, Merry Brandybuck, Estella Bolger, Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger, Rosamunda Took Bolger, Odovacar Bolger
Pairings: Merry/Estella, Pippin/Diamond (in later chapters)
Creator’s Notes (optional): I didn't expect this to get so long...Also, huge thanks to Dreamflower for her writing of Miss Dora Baggins' Book of Manners which as usual is incredibly helpful and extremely valuable as a research aid :)

B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: G51, Echoes in the Water, Color Burst 6, Eligible Bachelor Baggins, Fun with Feanorians, Games People Play, Injuries and Other Ailments, The Language of Flowers, Mirkwood's Favorite Son, Of the Sea, Person vs. Nature, The Shire, Shirish, Weather
Format: short story?
Genre:
Rating: PG
Warnings:
Characters: Legolas, OFC elf, OFS (original female snake), Sam, Frodo and the rest of the Fellowship (except Gandalf) at the end
Pairings: OFC/Nimrodel (river-maiden)
Creator’s Notes (optional): Ninglorien's name means "yellow flag" or "yellow lily/iris" - ninglor is the name for the "gladden" of the Gladden Fields. I have chosen to take the "iris" name to fit with the Language of Flowers card. Her relationship with Miriel is symbolic of the relationship she wishes to have with Nimrodel.
Summary: After the Fellowship comes to Lothlorien, we are told Legolas is away with the Elves much of the time, separated from the rest of the Fellowship. This is one of the first of those times, if not the very first.

Here is a VERY late entry; it is late for the

lotr_community March 2012 challenge; it is late for the January 2013 potluck and it is late for the 2012 B2MeM Bingo Challenge. It was finished, mostly, for yesterday's B2MeM Wildcard challenge to finish something. I cleaned it up today for posting, and then got a bunch of formatting errors when I previewed, so now it is even later.

B2MeM Challenge: O-62, Crossover2, Poetry; Food, Potato; Shirish, Solmath
Format: Poetry
Title: Ode to Potatoes
Genre: Poetry, Parody
Rating: G
Warnings: N /A
Characters: Sam Gamgee
Pairings: N/A
Author's Note: I've tried poems in Ogden Nash's style in the past—but this particular grouping of prompts woke up my Ogden Nash muse again. One of the hallmarks of Nash's humorous style are lines which are very mismatched in length and scansion. Also you will notice a famous line from movie-verse in this one.
Summary: Another poem in the style of Ogden Nash.
