For the June, the theme is Strange Encounter.
What draws us to the world Tolkien created is not only the characters.
To a large extent, it is also the fact that Middle Earth is a place
of many wonders and surprises. To read Tolkien means exploring strange
and unknown lands and people. And while Tolkien's descriptions are full
of detail, he leaves gaps as well. So who can know what creatures and
wonders await at the far corners of Middle Earth - or just around the
next bend in the path for that matter?
For the June theme Strange Encounter we challenge you to explore
these unknown patches of Middle Earth - or find the unexpecting in well-known
places and loved characters. Have Aragorn meet his first hobbit, Legolas
meet his first human. Discover wild animals or unkown peoples. Let cultures
clash. Write a crossover or put our beloved characters in a modern day
setting. Whatever constitutes as a strange encounter in your mind -
we would love to see it put into a story!
