Marta, I have a question about a story, Stealth and Grace, that you have listed in this category:

>    Anastasia   Stealth and Grace

Tales of The Red Book

There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.

Sam, in Mordor, RoTK

Thanks, Mari. I had mistakenly entered it as a WIP into the database.
I'll correct it right now.

Which means that BT: Post-Ring War/WIP has three stories by three
authors.

No problem Marta : ) I wish that I could think of a suitable WIP - I know that there are quite a few stories that I am forgetting that I had planned to nominate this year! I have already started a list for next year, lol : )
