Should Barad-Dur be Barad-dur? And "Quickies Qtr 3 Challenge" might be
slightly confusing on its own. Either delete that sentence, or else add
"at http://www.henneth-annun.net" or something like that?

This reads like a recommendation rather than a summary. Are we supposed

alternate summary. Also, according to FF.net, the title is "Guinness",
not "Guiness", and the piece is co-authored by Earonn and Bladorthin.

Are you following British or American punctuation? If you're following
American (which you seem to be in your other posts) the period after
"storm" should be inside the quotes mark, I think.

This might be obvious to some people, but if by suggestiveness we mean
sexual suggestiveness, should Legolas and Aragorn be listed as romance
partners?

That has got to be one of the strangest typos I've seen in a while. I think
it's "way to keep".

Do we have an e-mail for Bladorthin? We're going to have to get his/her
permission then for this story. If nothing else, let's e-mail Earonn and
ask him/her to get in touch with Bladorthin. (I just did that.) And you are
right about the summary. I'll go get the one from ff.net.

Well, just remember that I did't write these (unless I nominated them and
unless they didn't have their own ready-made summaries somewhere). Heck, I
haven't even read most of them yet. But yes, I'm American, and many
Americans struggle with that one. ;-)

I'm actually wondering if we shouldn't remove the reference to that other
story, especially as this one comes before it. And I don't believe "To Calm
a Storm" was nominated.

What do you all think?

It is. It looks like their right hand was shifted one letter to the
right, but then they got the 'p' right at the end. Weirdness.

And I agree. It probably is "way to keep".

Bladorthin's email address isn't up at FF.net. I'm not sure where else
to look.

Duh, yes. I keep forgetting that so much of this came from different

I haven't seen it mentioned. You're probably right, I think we can
