Want to write a short story?

Post by Timodeus »

If you want to write a story (and do not have an immortal to read this post on the ainur board )that could be used in a quest (and a library), here is your chance:

It is about "Arthad the Mariner, beloved of the Sindar and the Noldor" (yes, that's all we know so far about him), it is an old elven story and should be compatible with children (so, heroic deeds are ok, but no gore, yes?).

The thing is...we can manage without the actual story, but if someone writes a good story that is actually worth to be read, it would be even better.

Just drop me a MUMEmail (or PM) if you want to write something (and yes, if there are two or three good stories, I see no reason why there should not be more to be read about "Arthad the Mariner" and his life).

It should not be "too" long and you have, no clue, a week? or maybe two? until the deadline when I need them sent to me.

You'll probably find some reference about him in the Silmarillion...

Well, little known. There's some freedom for you, no? ;)

Well, I want a BN story! Me and Boddah may come up with some fun BN pirate adventures in the near future.

Apparently, Boddah sees Mhoghedin as a short little crazy man who fell from grace on his canoe in the Greyflood :)
Formerly a dastardly pirate of the Western Sea, he now contents
himself with rowing around the Greyflood of Tharbad in a canoe.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
