This I gotta try:

[rabidsamfan]

The "Stump the Author" meme -- I gacked it from cara_chapel because it looks like fun.

A-- go to my LOTR fanfiction and pick out a line or two from one of my stories.
B-- I will respond with which story I think it's from.
C-- I'll write a scene (in this case, a ficlet of 100-400 words) for the LOTR characters of your choice with the plot point of your choice to anyone who stumps me.
D-- If I get more than ten responses, I will do the first ten ficlets who stump me.

Obviously, you'd do well to pick something challenging, but unless it's really unique, I'm going to say it should be more than five words.

Have at thee!

Frodo smiled at him, a little curiously. “That was clever, Sam,” he said. “Whatever made you think of it?”

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Gah! This is harder than it looks! ... *desperately tries to think through all those words*

"Unlucky"?

/s/instead/in spite , as the vi geeks would say.

This should be not too difficult:

They heard the horns first, and ran to help fight, but by the time they reached the village the celebrations had begun.

Oh... and I would die to see a drabble or mini-ficlet with Bilbo and Lily. There is no romance required, of course. But Bilbo met Lily on the market and gave her the mirror as a gift for his 111th birthday - why did he do that?

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

That's the Fell Winter. (I just reread it because you had translated it so nicely.) Try again! I'm sure you can stump me.

He’d tried wading into a stream and that was the most ninnyhammered idea he’d ever had in his life, but the water hadn’t been cold enough even in January.

Muahahahaha...

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

*blush* I'm not likely to forget that fic! It's Speed the Plough, or Plow, or however I was spelling it that day.

Try again!

[elasg.livejournal.com]

OK, I will!

But his hand reached out and Rosie was there to take it, and Frodo smiled at both of them.

? Did I getcha?

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Hmm. The Ringbearer and the Rose?

"Now Frodo did laugh, but not unkindly."

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

The Errand Lad!

[piratesmoon.livejournal.com]

Try this...

"He no longer needs a candle, not even when the moon is new"

R- (yes, it's me. ;)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

It's one of the drabbles. Night at Bag End, I think...

"What's Yulefeast without a goose to share, Dad?" he'd ask me, if he were here.

Another drabble... Darned if I can remember the title though, so you got me! What do you want for your ficlet?

[elasg.livejournal.com]

"Don't worry, they're probably just looking for something to eat. Did you check in the kitchen?

Now I am going for it...

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

That's the one where Frodo is visiting as a youngster... but as I can't remember the title, *bangs head on desk* I'll concede the point. What do you want for your ficlet?

[jewelsong.livejournal.com]

Lovely. Just....well...perfectly in tune with Bill's larger story and also perfectly "young" Sam.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[lindelea1.livejournal.com]

So did you get your ten ficlets yet, or can I play?

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Not yet. By all means, play!

[sayhello.livejournal.com]

Oh! This is just wonderful. It sets such a sad but lovely mood, straight away. I just wanted to cry for Sam's grief. Smart boy to think of the Bagginses.

I'm glad you liked it. (And glad Bill gave me permission to write it, too!)

[danachan.livejournal.com]

Bilbo's mother was a Took, you know.




I shall have a go at this game.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

The Master and the Servant, I think...
