When Out the Hellish Legion Sallied...
Challenge Details
Halloween's coming up, folks!
Write a precautionary tale about one of Middle-earth's more frightening denizens or places. For example...
* Frighten your favourite elfling with a story of Ungoliant, Taur-nu-Fuin, or Fëanor.
* Set Eomer to terrify (or try!) Eowyn with a story of the Paths of the Dead, the ghost of Helm, or the dread Lady of the Wood.
* The North is a pretty creepy place–trolls, wraiths, wolves, Rangers...perhaps Bilbo has stories we haven't heard?
Plus Evil must have terrors of it's own...like that nasty Lúthien. ;-)
Challenge closes: 31 October 2004
