So, you have a birthday coming up? Would you like a short story for a present? Post the month and date of your birthday a week or more before the date with a short request you'd like to see written (a specific character, a certain situation, etc) and I will do my best to comply. Others are also encouraged to write birthday drabbles and ficlets for the birthday members. Drabbles may be posted directly here, but anything over 500 words should be posted to your profile and linked here so the birthday recipient knows about it.
9/6/2009 #1 ReportI'll give you all sufficient notice now.
My birthday is November 18th. I will be 37.
My favorite characters are Glorfindel, Erestor, Thranduil, Legolas, Gimli, the sons of Elrond, Finrod, Námo and Ringwraith #5 (sometimes called Bob).
I'm a romance geek (There are almost NO Erestor/OFC fics!!!! Smut or even clean romance! *cries*) but I also love good friendship fics, angst and drama.
9/6/2009 #2 ReportMy I think a birthday story is a good idea. If we do write one for someone how do we post it here? I am new at this, but will give it a try for you. My birthday is in nov as well 29, favorite charater is elrond, or any of the elves.
9/6/2009 #3 ReportIf we do write one for someone how do we post it here?
I think we need a thread for newbies on how to navigate FFN... Will have that up in a few minutes.
9/6/2009 #4 ReportSorry for so many questions, thanks for the answers, also that is a good idea.

You've not read much of my writing, have you?? ;P The Heart of the Elvenking series is all about Thranduil.
9/7/2009 #8 ReportIt's just under a week till my birthday...I guess that's probably not much notice, but. *sigh* 14th of September, that's next Monday, and I'll be 18. If you do have the time, though, my favourite characters are the Sons of Feanor, Glorfindel and Legolas. :) I'll try to write something for ya, NiRi, but it might be a little late because I've got exams coming up. :(

Discordant Symphony
The notes of discord were subtle at first, confusing him until he grew silent in the disharmony. Growing in intensity, the chords climbed the scale, and something in the music drew him, enticed him, and beckoned to him to rejoin the song.
The melody of the others was purer, sweeter and innocent, but the song of Melkor was powerful and mighty. Mairon struggled within himself, drawn to both. More voices united with Melkor, compelled by the beat, the rhythms. He was torn!
A whisper of thought — You must choose.
So he did, adding his voice to the cacophony of sound.
9/10/2009 #24 ReportWhatever you're doing, Ari, have a nice time! =D Happy b/day!
