Summary: No one really, truly knows who it was that decided Elves have pointy ears so let's play with that part of their anatomy for some writerly fun. (Okay, bad pun, sorry. :P) Anyway, on the subject of Elf ears, the story can be about how Elvish ears evolved to be pointy or how other races are jealous of their pointy ears, or anything you can think of, so long as the plot centers around Elf ears. AU, Actor fics, crossovers, movie verse, book verse all are welcome.

Summary: While going through two Disney theme parks I got to thinking about what would happen if elves (especially the twins or Haldir) suddenly woke up to find themselves in a theme park (it's amazing what "It's a small world" does to the brain) Fantasy or Sci-Fi conventions could also be used instead of a theme park. Have fun! Totally AU, mostly for giggles and gags.

Summary: Write me a newspaper article from Middle-Earth, about anything. Write about the twins's latest escapade, or an advice column to Legolas-smitten elf maidens.

Summary: With so MANY Legolas fans, there really should be more incest with Thranduil. I issue a challenge for any kind of fic involving incest between Legolas and Thranduil, as long as it doesn't involve soulmate-y love. Molestation, rape, lust, longing, curiousity, loneliness, desperation, anything but: No "marriage" type love. Father-son love + sexual activity = okay.

Summary: You can write about any pure friendship - between any mortals or immortals or whoever. Between Elves, Men, Dwarves, Hobbits - even Orcs if you're feeling brave! Keep it clean, preferably no romance as this is a friendship challenge!

Summary: I'm sure many of you have dreamed of/ read fanfictions about traveling to Middle Earth. But what if part of Middle Earth came to you. Like a country or land. Or maybe you made a forest to look like Lothlorien. You choose. Anything along these general lines. Try to keep it cannon and clean.

Summary: Must include the phrase "You did what, With who, For how many jellybeans!?" Feel free to be as silly as you want. Anything goes. Be creative! :P

Summary: What would happen if Frodo got to Mount Doom but didn't get the chance to throw the ring in? E.G.: a Nazgûl kills him and Sam, Gollum kills them, Mount Doom is surrounded by orcs and they're forced to give up the ring to them (OK bad one but still...). You can include AU, graphic sex, anything that blows your skirt up! Just please! No slash!

Summary: One night, Steward Faramir wakes up with a jolt to find himself tied to his own bed: blindfolded, gagged, naked and – oh, Valar! – in the company of another man. Faramir’s initial indignation and anger are soon replaced by fear, once he understands this is no silly joke and the stranger has quite serious purposes – and Faramir can neither free himself nor call for help. However, once he stops struggling, he realises his guest has no intention of hurting him, and is in fact being rather gentle and patient. So, given his lack of options, Faramir cooperates, and actually quite enjoys himself… But he has not an inkling who his lover is – even when the scarf from his mouth is removed to let them kiss and he begs for a name, the stranger gives no reply. Faramir cannot even tell whether it is Man or Elf. He has a smooth face, but so do many Men in Minas Tirith (now, let us assume that Aragorn, since Professor T had never said otherwise, does shave at least once in a while – so technically it could be him also). Faramir never gets another visit – but has to admit that he would actually like to. So here is the mystery part: he wants to find out who it was he had shared his bed with, and ask him some questions and possibly, well, do some things. I would like there to be some good suspense, preferably three likely candidates, each with some points in favour of him being Faramir’s nightly guest – please keep us guessing until the very end. And, well, how things develop after the discovery is up to you.

Summary: Write a Mary sue fanfiction where a modern girl comes to middle earth, but has no knowledge of where she is. She must be from our time, or after the Lord of the Rings was popular. You must make this mary sue normal in everyway. I would like someone to write about her falling in love with an elf, and how the elf would respond to her realistically, keeping the elf and all Tolkien's characters as much in cannon as you can :). No super mary sues!! Also, how will she get back to our world, and what kind of drama will ensue while she is in Middle Earth. There must be one major/secondary character death, and the modern girl can't speak elvish when she arrives! Neither can she speak the common tongue, because the commmon tongue was not english, either! Please, no slash, keep Tolkien's characters in cannon. Also, no crossovers. It would be much more challenging without. Have fun with it! What kind of things would she have brought with her? iPods, speakers, a watch? How would her being modern affect Middle Earth (WITHOUT changing the story!)? Have fun!!
