Playing Games by The Wavesinger

B2MeM Challenge: "The forces of Mordor are vast. Such armies require cleaners, cooks, payroll officers and boot-makers. Even the darkest of Dark Lords' Citadels require latrine-emptiers and throne polishers and safety officers who go "tut!" over the lack of hand-rails on Orodruin. What about the stable-boys of the Nazgûl? The third trainee Gollum-torturer from the left? What did the War of the Ring look like to a person (creature?) like this? I expect this will be a humorous piece, but feel free to go serious if you wish." --

rhymer23 "... Any place, any time, any orcish culture - or how about an orc woman re-embodied in Aman (if you go by the corrupted Elves theory anyway)?" --

Winter's Drums by pandemonium_213; illustrated by <user site="l

Title: Winter's Drums
Author Name: pandemonium_213
Prompts: Winter weather (B2MeM 2014) and thundersnow (B2MeM 2012 – yes, a tad belated)
Summary: The grisly banner having served its purpose, Sauron enlists the assistance of his soldiers and bodyguard to bear Celebrimbor's corpse to its final resting place in the foothills of the Misty Mountains while a snowstorm approaches from the southwest.
Rating: Adult
Warnings: Descriptions of torture and a deteriorating corpse may be too intense for some readers (roughly equivalent to MPAA R-rating or TV Ratings Mature Audience V); some expletive language. Pandë!versecentric.
Beta: Many thanks to Binky, Drummerwench, Elfscribe, Ignoble Bard, KyMahalei, Oshun, Randy O, Russandol, and Scarlet for their input.
Author's Notes: I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with huinare, who has provided two illustrations for this story. Her style is distinctive (reminds me of Brian Froud's work), and the grey tones are eminently suitable for the bleak theme of the story. Many thanks to Huinárë for the excellent artwork! Also see End Notes for more of my interminable bloviation.

Title: 1. "Examining His Work" / 2. "Thundersnow"
Artist Name: Huinárë (huinare)
Prompt: Winter Weather
Description: Pencil illustration / Construction paper collage
Rating: G
Warnings: Not as such, but Pandë's story itself, on the other hand...
Artist's Notes: It was a pleasure to be able to read Pandemonium's story before it went live and to natter about it with her during the process of creating these illustrations.
