This drabble _is_ set during the Late Third Age, but more specifically,
during the Great Years. So if there is a further divison during the
T.A., would you please move the drabble over to the category "Great
Years"?

Hi Imhiriel,

I have moved this drabble to "The Great Years: Gondor Fixed-Length
Ficlets".

So you and everyone know for future years, the Third Age is broken
down into the following categories:

EARLY THIRD AGE. Everything before 2850 TA (1250 SR). This is for
pieces about the events of the Third Age before we get closer to the
War of the Ring. Like the histories of Rohan and Gondor, stories about
the founding of the Shire or the fall of Arnor, that kind of thing.

LATE THIRD AGE. 2850-3017 TA (1250-1417 SR). Pieces in this category
are about events leading up to the war of the Ring, including the
childhoods of the mortals in that war and the Quest for Erebor and
other events leading up to that conflict.

THE GREAT YEARS. 3018-3022 TA (1418-1422 SR). The War of the Ring and
the aftermath, through the end of the Third Age.

Thank you very much, Marta. And I also appreciate the further
information.
Concerning the final check ballots: My stories are all placed correctly.
Thank you for your hard work - I can imagine it must have been tedious
and monotonous at times, and I find it amazing that there are almost no
errors!

You're welcome, on both counts.

Sometimes the tedious can be a most welcome distraction, and I needed a
refuge from the real world yesterday (and had the time to spend on this,
for once). So I was glad to do this and am happy there weren't too many
errors.

Good that your stories are all placed!

Marta
