LACE Challenge
Challenge Details
LACE (Laws and coustoms of the Eldar) is greatly debated amoung the Elf-writers on the list. Is it cannon? Is it all true? Is it a lie told by a Man as a lesson to other Men? Is it a joke told by a Noldor to confuse Men and Moriquendi?
Write a story on these questions, or using one of the many interesting tidbits found in this essay.
For more information on LACE: an annotated version at JunoMagic's LiveJournal.

- As readers know from Tyellas's Lost in the Translation, Bilbo made another book--one with a blue cover. This story tells of its fate and, even better, has extracts from the tales....you know you want to read it. Illustrated by Greywing
MEFA 2007, Second Place, Alternative Universe
Thanks to Tyellas for allowing me to borrow the idea of the Blue Book from her superb story and to oshun for her thoughtful criticism and for being a good friend. Special thanks to Maeve Riannon and to greywing for their unique contributions, and to all the writers at the Garden of Ithilien. - isilelensar - Not In This World

- In Valinor, one of the world's greatest pairs have been divorced, leaving one half of the pair alone and unhappy. Hurt, he figures he'll spend the rest of eternity alone. In modern-day America, one young woman is content with her life as it is, yet still searches for a place to call home, and perhaps someone to share it with her forever. With the help of 3 somewhat meddlesome Valar, can these two find love again... with each other? (sigh... I tried to make a good summary...)
