bunn I DID manage to get my first FTH story written by the deadline. It's here :
Then I wrote a surprisingly quick thing about a ghostly Boromir:
A Leaf of the White Tree
Boromir falls. The fate of everything he loves rides on Frodo's doomed quest: how can he leave, with so much left unfinished? Boromir's ghost watches as the War of the Ring blossoms into a peace that he had never really believed was possible.
It's been ages since I wrote more than 2000 words in a day!
Then I painted a couple of things. One was Fishguard Harbour, which I seem to have failed to photograph (yet). I should photograph that and make another post for it
And the other was this, which I call
The Opening of the West-gate of Khazad-dûm 
The War of Wrath has been raging for thirty-five years. Now the Enemy has found a new strategy. He’s set a trap.
The request was for a hurt/comfort story with Elrond and Elros offering comfort to Maedhros and Maglor. It seemed to work out well enough in the end though I got stuck for ages. I may have maxed out on writing First Age Tolkien stories, at least for a while.

The Opening of the West-gate of Khazad-dûm
Two young holly-bushes were planted either side of the new Doors. There was singing and dancing and drinking all night long, and lights like stars were strung along the valley to light the revels, until the Morning Sun came up and began to peer out of the East over the tops of the Misty Mountains.

I still have your War of Wrath and Return to Aman series on my Kobo to read... with all the lovely new fics being created it's taking too loooong to get to the backlog of fics written before I discovered fandom.
I really need to focus (hmmm... that was supposed to be "figure out how to get more fic reading in", but maybe Otto Correct just gave me the answer instead! 😆)
