Tiny AU Challenge
Challenge Details
AUs don't have to be multi-thousands of words: an AU can even be written in a drabble...
The challenge is: write an AU in less than 1500 words, any topic. Existing pieces can be entered (especially those written for Dwim's 2008 birthday challenge, which set off this idea).
Deadline: September 22 (and happy birthday Frodo and Bilbo!).

AU. Two years after Sauron won the war, his Orcs have come to a Shire under Saruman's dominion. The hobbits that are its proper inhabitants are caught in the middle. Told in drabbles and drabble-increments (200, 300, etc.) Warning: Deals with post-war occupation and the kind of subject matter that often entails. Coarse language, references to rape and other violence, but non-graphic.
Honorable Mention for the MEFA 2010 Cross-Cultural: General category. Thank you, elfscribe!, for the nomination!
