[oloriel]

Our New Year's Resolution challenge is over, and there have been several exciting contributions by people who snatched their chance to complete a challenge that they missed out on last year. Well done!
We hope you’ll find the time to take a look at some (or all) of them if you haven’t already. The links in this round-up post go to the respective Table of Contents, where you can view more information about the story, except in one case, where the story is part of a collection. If you enjoy an author's work, please consider dropping them a comment to let them know!

A Bridge to Tomorrow by Independence1776. Maglor rescues Celebrían before the orcs take her deep into their caves. Life in Imladris will never be the same.

"And play at books that I have read" by Himring. An evening sees the family of Rivendell peacefully assembled around the fire. Part of the collection Taking Readings II

By Fate Mastered by Lyra. For Túrin, nothing turns out as he planned. A series of drabbles inspired by (of all things) the Sitcom! Bingo challenge and the Narn i Hîn Húrin.

Glimpse of the Hidden Past by StarSpray. While on vacation, a pair of young women decide to explore some ruins. One of them discovers something startling.

Liver, Heart and Soul by Scribe of Mirrormere. Caranthir hears of a Moriquendi tribe with a rather unusual practice. He wishes to seek their demise immediately, but one of his daughters selects a different path.

Maegnas by HannaGoldworthy. A blade forged from star-metal by the hand of an Elf from Nan Elmoth proves to be capable of speech, thought, and being judgmental.  No, not that one, another one.

Olwë's Home for Wayward Elves by Morcondil. A series of misadventures has left Galadriel in disgrace; Finarfin thinks a summer with Olwë might help his daughter find her way. After all: nothing exciting ever happens in Alqualondë. A story of questionable fashion choices, growing up, and finding one's place.

Steel Rose by HannaGoldworthy. A clan of Easterlings makes their way into Beleriand, where they forge an unlikely friendship with the very people they are supposed to betray.

Tending the Lady's Garden by Raiyana. The Tale of Findis the dumb lesbian and the equally daft gardener who loves her.

The Tenth Ring by Eris of Imladris. Celebrimbor has a nagging suspicion that something is wrong while he works on the ninth ring to be given to Men.

Last but not least, in the art department, Grundy has created three Bingo cards for the B2MeM Bingo Bash following prompts from the Holiday Feast challenge!

Some house-keeping notes:
dawn_felagund is busily working on the stamp collections and hoping to have them finished by the next weekend. If you need a comment stamp for a challenge prior to the November/December challenge or if you are missing a stamp from your collection, please contact us at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org or through any of our social media channels.

Thank you for taking part in this challenge! Our next challenge has already been announced, and we hope you'll (again) find prompts that inspire you. Until next time!
