#fixed-length

Tolkien100 is a long-running drabble community that originated on LiveJournal and is currently maintained on both LiveJournal and Dreamwidth (the first link in this announcement goes to the Dreamwidth community; the Livejournal community is here). The community focusses on fixed-length or "perfect" drabbles (100 words) inspired by any fictional works by J.R.R. Tolkien, including their movie adaptations.

In its current incarnation (since 2018) there are also regular writing prompts. The current prompt is "Green Leaves". 

New participants would be really welcome!

(A Dreamwidth or LiveJournal account is required.)

Numenorean mariners on their first voyage after the changing of the world.

He folded the map and made to drop it over the side of the ship. Drawn up by the best cartographer in Numenor, it was useless now, all geography irrevocably altered. All those books that would have to be rewritten, because they were no longer true! Those that lay not drowned deep, library shelves among the corals.

‘Don’t’ said the first mate sharply. ‘Fold it carefully. We need to keep that one for the historians—not that many left, and it is nearly falling apart.’

She herself was already busy sketching altered coastlines and new islands, recording distances, triangulations, stars.

Wandering Maglor returns to Mount Dolmed.

Maglor takes shelter from a storm in a tunnel under Mount Dolmed. The Dwarven mine farther in has fallen into decay. He remembers they were here after the Dagor Nirnaeth Arnoediad. How desperate they were—and yet lacking in foresight how much more might yet be lost, how much farther they had to fall! In the dark, he hears the thundering sound of breakers borne up from the coast below. He closes his eyes and pretends defiantly that what he hears is only the gale in the branches of the forest, that not far off Caranthir’s keep still stands unconquered…
