Our challenge for January and February of this new year is Starting Over, a prompt that gives our creators options for both beginnings and endings.
Will you tell us a tale of the first Elves leaving Cuiviénen for Valinor, stories of the hosts of Fëanor and Fingolfin journeying to Beleriand, or Luthien and Beren’s time in Tol Galen?
Perhaps your story will follow Sauron after the War of Wrath. Or the Men who became the Nine.
Shall you tell us of the survivors of Erebor and their new dwellings? Or Samwise and Frodo, when they return to the Shire? Or cross the sea to the West?
Perhaps you will share the story of Gandalf's time in Lorien, after he defeated the balrog and became Gandalf with White? Or Glorfindel coming back to Middle Earth from Valinor in a new body?
“How do you pick up the threads of an old life?” Frodo asks, in Peter Jackson’s film version of The Return of the King. “How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back.”
The start of a new year is a chance to start again. Where will you take us with this prompt? We can’t wait to see!
Please submit your stories before January 31, 2023, to teitho.contest@gmail.com
Happy writing! Carawyn, lotrfan and Sian22
