adventures in polling
I couldn't decide whether to reembody Maedhros with one hand or both hands for the Maedhros-goes-back-to-ME AU that's my Leaf & Lore project, and so I decided to let the internet decide for me, and made a tumblr poll, and
This is the funniest possible ratio and I owe that 155th voter my life because I'm pretty sure they decided it. I don't know what I would've done if it had ended with a 50/50 result. Laughed until I cried, probably, and then flipped a coin? I genuinely did not expect it to be this close.
Anyway, bringing Maedhros back from Mandos with both hands! Now I can actually get started on the fic...or the first fic, since I already know this is going to turn into a series--I can't cover 2/3 of the Third Age in a single coherent fic. What I really want is to write the War of the Ring with Maedhros getting involved (no, he's not joining the Fellowship--but he's not staying home either), but there's a lot of groundwork that needs laying first.
Also when I made the poll I set it to run for 3 days and I did not intend to have it end on election night, because I'd forgotten that today was election day (I voted by mail last month), but it's kind of a funny coincidence.

Admin Post: November Challenge
![[admin post]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/entry/admin_post.png){kind=small}
Thank you for your engagement with this community during the past month!
Here is the tolkienshortfanworks challenge for November.
Thematic prompt:
Your piece should mention both a sibling relationship and a food item.
I'm having my eye on two upcoming Tumblr weeks here; if you like you can have a look at their prompt lists for inspiration, which are very nicely done, even if perhaps you might not be interested in Tumblr events as such:
https://www.tumblr.com/tolkien-food-week/796398861745815552/tolkien-food-week-list-of-prompts
https://www.tumblr.com/tolkiensiblingsweek/798504799422365696/less-than-one-month-to-go-until-the-very-first
Formal challenge:
Keeping it simple this month with traditional drabbles: 100 words or multiples of 100.
As usual, these two prompt sets can be filled separately or combined.
Usual reminder that in order to post the fill to this community or to the related collection on AO3 (linked in a sticky post at the top), the fanwork can only have a word count up to 1000 words and must be linked to a Tolkien fandom.
Rec lists and podfics can be posted as fills for thematic prompts, as long as the fanworks concerned meet those conditions.
Also we continue to welcome other pieces unrelated to any challenge, of course, including cross-posts and older stories, as long as they meet the criteria!

Folks, we’re looking for input on the next challenge. Hit us with your favorite baked goods! If you want to share a recipe or a photo, all well and good, but just a name or a link works too. It can be as simple as ‘this is the thing everyone in my neck of the woods looks for at the bakery/market/holidays/family gatherings’. Sweet or savo(u)ry is up to you. (Though the list of sweet is currently much longer than the savory list, and we’d like to even it out if possible!) Our one request is you tell us by November 10 so we have enough time to put the challenge together.
Comment screening is on for this post!
