silwritersguildThis week was a busy one for our adventurers with not only their usual challenge to complete but also Sauron to defeat! They routed him with room to spare, which means that we progress to the Final Battle in the fifth and final week of B2MeM and we have many times more the stories, artwork, and poems to offer this week! For the final week, all of the challenges have been unlocked, for those of you who aren't playing but interested in writing for this year's B2MeM.

"When the Storms of Life are Raging (Stand by Me)" by Dreamflower
For those who are not familiar with "my" Shire-universe, in S.R. 1433, the year after Merry becomes Master of Brandy Hall, Buckland suffers a devastating flood.

"Eärendil's journey to Khand" by Lyra
Well, suddenly Eärendil decided to set plotbunnies loose in my head, because surely his journey through the desert deserves more attention than a challenge, a response, and an e-mail.
So this little spin-off story was born, loosely based on some of the challenges but mostly just on, well, Khand and what Eärendil did there. If that's compatible with the rules, I suppose these could be used for the battle against Sauron.
http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/b2mem2010/viewstory.php?sid=70
"Erukyermë" by Lyra

"Sometimes I Wish…" by Celeritas
A set of not-so-serious attempts to fulfill the B2MEM 2010 prompts, in an effort of the author's to maintain contact with her OC hobbits and the Fourth Age Shire they live in. This "Alternate History" account presupposes happier, AU conditions borrowed from Dreamflower's "Eucatastrophe" universe, in which the Three Rings retained their power at the One Ring's destruction and Frodo (and indeed anyone living in Aman) is allowed to return to Middle-earth after having been healed.
Chapters are in chronological order, not the order in which they were posted. The newest chapter is entitled "Sentiment!"

"When the Storms of Life are Raging (Stand by Me)" by Dreamflower
For those who are not familiar with "my" Shire-universe, in S.R. 1433, the year after Merry becomes Master of Brandy Hall, Buckland suffers a devastating flood. I first described it in a drabble, "Lesson Learned: Spring Flood S.R. 1433" and later on, after Hurricane Katrina struck my hometown I expanded on the event in "Hobbit Aid" In this set of vignettes, various characters affected by the flood find strength in thinking of those who are absent.

"Eärendil's journey to Khand" by Lyra
Well, suddenly Eärendil decided to set plotbunnies loose in my head, because surely his journey through the desert deserves more attention than a challenge, a response, and an e-mail.
So this little spin-off story was born, loosely based on some of the challenges but mostly just on, well, Khand and what Eärendil did there. If that's compatible with the rules, I suppose these could be used for the battle against Sauron.
