Day Twenty-Four

Choose your favorite line or quotation from a non-Tolkien source. It can be a book, movie, poem--anything you can think of! Write down that quote. Now create a story, poem, or work of art that relates to it somehow, either the quote itself or the meaning that you take from it.

Oh, what a gorgeous choice of quotes! And the piece fits it; I love that you've used the theme of the "gift of Men" here. It's one of the more fascinating aspects of the mythology, imho, in considering how different characters reacted to it and perceived it. You do it great justice here. Beautiful work, again. :)

I compiled a list of who has completed what for the challenge, and I have that you are missing days 27 and 30 ... but you also wrote an entry that satisfied both Mercurial Monday prompts, so you actually only have one left to do! :) Yes, I think you will make it! And, of course, if you don't want to write for either of those, subbing another Mercurial Monday is fine too. :)

Of course, you're always welcome to write for more prompts than needed to complete the challenge, but I did want you to know how close you are to your shinies--yay!

Thank you so much, I'm thrilled you liked this as I based it on my favourite poem.

Now I know more about what hapened in the Simarillion it makes me understand Aragorn's life and death far more.

Thank you too for counting for me as I wasn't sure. I've written something for the final two prompts.I thought I'd have to combine two,but I had a sudden idea for a drabble when waiting for church to start tonight. I'm just waiting for my beta reader's opinion and then I'll post them. I'm thrilled I've managed to write 31 + 1, as I was hindered by both health and computer problems last month.

Oh yuck ... I'm sorry to hear about the health and computer problems! :( Congrats on finishing the challenge though; it is such an accomplishment! :) I'll PM the link to the banners to you right away ... and I look forward to reading your last entries! I've so enjoyed your work over the past month-and-change!
