Because your mods are working on Back-to-Middle-earth-Month in March, we are going to do something a little different for the upcoming month: we will be incorporating b2mem into the March Challenge!

Therefore, your prompt will be self-selected. Choose among the many prompts that will be offered at the "Tharbad's Greenway Spring Faire" . Pick one (or more) that you wish to be your contribution to this community's March Challenge. That story must appear first at the lotr_community. You will also use the usual story header. For "theme" enter Back to Middle-earth Month, and for "elements" enter the prompt you chose. Remember that the rating guidelines for this community remain the same for this challenge. (Check the group's profile for links to the rating guidelines.)

<b>Author:</b> <b>Title:</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Theme:</b> <b>Elements:</b> <b>Author's Notes:</b> <b>Summary:</b> <b>Word Count:</b> <lj-cut>

Also, remember to put your story's title and your name in the subject line! Tag your story "challenge: b2mem 15" and "month: march 2015".

Because this is different from our usual challenges, we will begin to unlock the queue after March 1, as soon as a few stories begin to show up, rather than waiting until the middle of the month. Once your story has been revealed here, you are free to post it elsewhere as usual.

I hope we'll have lots of participants for our March challenge!
