The "Ask a Character" Challenge!

[dawn_felagund]

Uli (ford_of_bruinen) has given us our first challenge!

"Chose one question you want to ask a character from The Silmarillion.

Post the name of the character in the subject line and the question as the content of the email and submit it to the group.

All writers are challenged to write a response, taking on the character in question and answering it from their point-of-view.

The challenge is to write a character that you may not always chose by your own accord and to bring them to life through the answer they are giving."

As a bit of background, this started (as far as I know) as an LJ meme that juno_magic posted in her journal. It was adopted from there by numerous other Tolkien writers, including me.

For an idea of the craziness that can ensue, I invite you to check out The "Ask My Characters" Meme posted in my journal.

Non-list members (or list members who wish to do so) may also post their questions in this journal.

Have fun, everyone!

Ah, thank you that reply. Of course he felt his first responsibility was to the rest of his brothers and people, not to reckless Maedhros.

I understand now, and that was a lovely idea, having the question come from Elrond and Elros.
