Sorry--should have been clearer: more of a gimme for the Hobbit writers made miserable by the Armenelos challenge that asked them to explore something that doesn't exist in their race's culture at all. :) I think Armenelos was much easier for we Silmfolk, whereas this one will be easier for the LotR writers.

I'm hoping to get passports updated tomorrow, so I'll count you down for this one!

And I appreciate the gimme! :)

Thanks go to Dreamflower--not surprisingly, this was her challenge! :D

I should have guessed. :) And you would not believe the abundance of recipe fics that have come out of this!

I think that was probably her ulterior motive! ;^D

Yes please. I passed it over for crit last night and if it passes my fellow Lizards, I should be able to post publicly by the end of the week. Off to find a good ruin for Arnor...
