I'm just wondering if any of you have read any of the works of William Morris? He's an 'honorary Inkling' in that his writings greatly influenced and inspired both Tolkien and Lewis. Tolkien wrote in a letter to Edith Bratt once that he hoped It didn't stay short. ;) I highly recommend The...

Some of our ladies and gents here having so generously shared of their poetic musings with me, to my appreciative delight and interest, I thought it only seemed fair to do likewise. I shan't inundate with the overwhelming number of poems I've done over time for the world of Tolkien, but I...

Seriously? I just saw one at Good Will - didn't get it because I already have it. I like the look of the Narnia game - quite intriguing.

I wrote this double-drabble a little bit ago in response to a 'challenge' to come up with something Narnian - as much as I enjoy the Narnian tales, I've never been drawn to write for them so this is (perhaps sadly?) my only writing for this world at this point. Beneath the Surface Edmund...

One more bit of Tolkien-humor to share - I hope you will enjoy it. This is a bit long, so I've divided it into 12 short chapters and will bring it out a bit at a time. 1. "Welcome to Rivendell International Airport." "Are you sure this is safe?" Boromir asked, eyeing the ebb and flow of...

I've so enjoyed browsing through some of the creative writings here, just thought I'd share one of my smaller 'light' bits, for the fun of it. This assumes some familiarity with the characters of Legolas and Gimli, I think I'm relatively safe in that assumption here. Dark! Leafy! Act I: The...
