narya_flame: Maglor, with tousled hair (Maglor)
Dear Creator,
 
Hello! I have no idea how it's this time of year again; 2020 has been...well. Maybe the less said about that the better. Anyway, this is one of my favourite fandom events, so seeing it announced put a much-needed smile on my face - it's time to explore some weird and spooky corners of Middle-earth (and beyond)!
 
I have combed the tagset and pulled together a set of deliciously dark Tolkien prompts and requests to tempt your muses. Don't feel like you have to draw or write to any of my specific ideas; they are 100% optional and intended for inspiration only, so please go in a different direction if that's what your piece wants to do. Also feel free to combine prompts, if it works – for example, Maglor turning up in Cardolan or Arthedain.
 
I'd be equally thrilled with anything about any of the tags and characters I've selected so please don't read anything into the length of the prompts, or the number of tags I've combined with a character, or whether I've requested the characters for previous exchanges. I haven't included tons of shippy/smutty prompts here because most of the tags I've picked out are focussed around horror, injuries and supernatural goings-on, but if you do want inspiration in that direction, there are plenty of character-agnostic likes and ideas in my Chocolate Box letter from earlier this year.

I got two gifts, and I absolutely adore them!  Thank you, lovely writers, whoever you are <3

Linking the fics below; they're very different but I thoroughly recommend both of them, please go and enjoy!  They're perfect for a chilly autumn evening.

Without a Word

Haunted by the past two years of his life, Maglor returns to the home he vanished from.

A bittersweet and delicately disturbing modern day Maglor story.  Rated T.

A Last Adventure

Just what kinds of trouble might the adventurous Belladonna Took have got herself into, to make Gandalf remember her so fondly?

A Tookish twist on the classic haunted house tale.  The perfect blend of cosy and spooky.  Rated G.

Dear Writer,

Hi! It's the height of summer here but I'm already excited for autumn – cooler weather, comfort food, and of course a good dose of dark and scary fiction to pass the lengthening nights.

I love fic that deals with difficult themes, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you'll write. The tag set was amazing and it was really tough to narrow down. I'd be equally thrilled with anything about any of the tags and characters I've selected so please don't read anything into the length of the prompts, or whether I've requested the characters before.

I haven't included tons of shippy/smutty prompts here because most of the tags I've picked out are focussed around horror, injuries and supernatural goings-on, but if you do want inspiration in that direction, my Smut Swap and Fandom Growth Exchange letters both have some character-agnostic likes and ideas.

All prompts and scenarios below are 100% optional and intended for inspiration only, so please go in a different direction if that's what your story wants to do. Also feel free to combine prompts, if it works – for example, Maglor finding Amroth by the sea shore.

These are all fic requests, but art, edits, fanmixes etc. as treats are more than welcome!
