[Note: I sent this about half an hour ago, but it's yet to come
through. Sorry if it shows up at some point in the future.]

I realise that I botched Tanaqui's nomination form, I think by messing
up on copying-and-pasting. Sorry about that; I will be more careful in
the future. This is what I want you guys to use.

Reason for rating (violence, graphic, etc.): explicit heterosexual scenes

*Romance Parners (for Romances Only): Faramir and Éowyn

*Summary (not a recommendation. Save that for the vote): The Steward
of Gondor and the White Lady of Rohan are to be married. The right
ceremonies must be performed in the right way. But Faramir and Éowyn
have a few rituals of their own to conduct. Adult-rated for explicit
sex scenes. This is the third in my sequence of stories about Faramir
and Éowyn's relationship, following on from "Knight's Service" and
"Later". There are some references to events in the earlier stories
but it should not be necessary to read the other stories first.

*Story URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=1401
*Category Choices (see Categories File or FAQ for choices)
*1st: Drama
2nd: Men
3rd: LotR
Suggested Subcategory: Gondor

*Rating: R

Reason for rating (violence, graphic, etc.): discussion of adult
themes, such as prostitution and intergenerational sexual taboos

*Romance Parners (for Romances Only): Faramir and OFC; Denethor and OFC

*Summary (not a recommendation. Save that for the vote): For the
Ruling Steward and his sons, the personal is the political and private
acts can have public consequences. Faramir's odd behaviour on his
return from his first month as Captain of the Ithilien Rangers
troubles Denethor, both as a father and as Ruling Steward. An
unexpected meeting in a place neither thinks to find the other only
adds to the tension - and results in an order that, ten years later,
will have significant consequences in the War of the Ring.

Story Nomination Form

*Story URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=1156

*Category Choices (see Categories File or FAQ for choices)
*1st: Romance
2nd: Drama
3rd: Humour

*Rating: R

Reason for rating (violence, graphic, etc.): explicit heterosexual scenes

*Romance Parners (for Romances Only): Faramir and Éowyn

*Summary (not a recommendation. Save that for the vote): An attempt to
write a story about Faramir in which the angst monster does not
invade. In this, Faramir gets wet and takes all his clothes off. But
doesn't succumb to any angst. Humor with a dash of romance.

[Nominator's Notes: "Knight's Service" and "Later" are published as
two separate stories but are rather linked: "Later" provides the
missing scenes for "Knight's Service." Without "Later," "Knight's
Service" is a complete (though, in my opinion, much less rich) story
with a PG rating.]
