I want that stamp! Have to decide between 2 ideas now... And finish the day 1 challenge.
BTW, the stamp for day 18 hasn't been added to my passport yet. Or is it that I can't see it?

Don't worry about it! I was just wondering if it was a problem with my passport alone.

There are many challenges I want to complete just for the stamp :P

Talking of stamps, my Mirkwood stamp on my LJ (where I copied the code to) is only displaying the Alt-text "Mirkwood Stamp", not the image - any idea why that is? Copy-and-pasting the HTML code has worked fine for all the others...

That's a fantastic stamp! One of my favourites so far.

My contribution for today's challenge is a poem again:

My choice was made for me, as there's only one tower in any of the lands that are part of the Shire. http://www.lotrgfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=1402

You nearly killed me with this one, you do realise that? Especially since, not knowing this prompt would be coming up, I'd already done Dol Guldur with the "ruins" challenge. Still, got there in the end:

A bit of juvenile humor at the expense of a man whose name means 'the Tall Tower.'

Here's my contribution: http://www.lotrfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?sid=13396&chapter=2

I now have two published prompts and three other stamps claimed but not yet posted. Do I qualify for a passport? ;o)

Don't worry, Dawn, there is no hurry, I just thought you had to do something extra to get the passport and I couldn't find what in the rules. I think I have claimed 5 stamps, and hope to do a few more before the end.

It's lots of fun and the stamps look so absolutely cool!

My apologies to you both, I did start on your passport and have been keeping track of your requests, your last ones I did see were for Mithrim and Bree. However Murphy decided to set free a stomach flu bug in my house and the past days I've been busy with washing bedlinnens and cleaning up well, stomach contents of my two kids who are not fully recovered as of yet *keeps fingers crossed* I hope to catch up this weekend to at least meet the weekly update planning of us stampers.

Ouch, two kids with dodgy stomachs, I really feel your pain, and hope it's over soon... Don't worry about the stamps, whenever suits you is fine. I think I have Himring (already done), Nan Elmoth, Mithrim, Bree and Dol Guldur so far. Thank you!

My eldest has an off day, but I think that is fatigue that I am dealing with too. Thanks :) I will update your passport tomorrow! Or today! *coughs*

It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it. One of the Nazgul thinks on the choices circumstance has allowed him.
