Summary: In LOTR: ROTK, if i recall correctly, Faramir was wounded in one of the last battles in the movie (not sure exactly if it was on the Pelennor fields), and was dragged back to Minas Tirith by his horse. forgive me, but i only saw the third film once, so i may be a bit off on a few details. anyway, after he is dragged back, Pippin and Gandalf both notice he needs medical attention, but Denethor simply will not hear of it, and assumes his son dead, and decides to burn him AND himself alive! Pippin follows them to where they will burn Faramir, and notices a change in his breathing, showing that he is indeed alive. he runs to Gandalf and they both charge into the room, stop Denethor, and eventually Faramir is healed by Gandalf (or is it Aragorn..think it is the latter), etc. here is the challenge: from the moment Faramir began fighting with his troops on the battlefield, and when he was wounded, what do you think was going through his mind..fear, a desire to prove himself to his father one last time? or was he in desperation, or a combination of emtions, that he would die and finally be reunited with his soulmate, his brother Boromir? that would be my guess..:) also, what was going through Faramir's mind as he was dragged back to Minas Tirith (or maybe he was unconscious and woke partially in the burning chamber), and when he finally started to come to as Denethor covered him in oil and prepared to burn him? to me, Faramir looked like he was definitely in some amount of pain, just beginning to become fully aware of it, and also he looked deep in thought, close to tears. this is the challenge i propose for your group, and i believe it would be a formidable one to see online. i am not much of a writer myself, but i do know great works when i see them. good luck to you all, and keep up the fabulous work! :)

Summary: Slash, taking place after RotK. The first step, of course, is choosing the 'Other' -choices include Éomer, Legolas, a random elf, or a random man of Gondor. No Aragorn, no Elrond, no Gimli, no hobbits, no men from Rohan besides Éomer, just because. I want this to be a story where homosexuality is NOT widely accepted in Middle-Earth, but, rather, unheard of - actually unheard of, as in no one realizes it's POSSIBLE for a man to love another man. Please include no other slash pairings, but as many other hetero pairings as you'd like. The story should include many scenes of rising tension between the two, including at least one indoors, one - but preferably more - outdoors, one where the two are alone together, and one where they are in a crowd. I like imagery, hint hint. Both men should be confused about their feelings, and the writing should include some musings on these feelings. Eventually ONE should act on said feelings - they may use the influence of wine or simply their own stunning sexiness. The event can be planned or unplanned by the ready one. The other should not be prepared at this point, and the unprepared one would preferably be Faramir. At this point, said unprepared one can either run or retaliate, in anger or love. Later, BOTH should be confused about what happened. Eventually, one - preferably not Faramir - tells someone about what they feel, but whether they tell the reaction of the other is up to you. If you have chosen Éomer, he should tell one of the men of Rohan. Said man of Rohan should not approve, but keep his trap shut, because he knows what's good for him. ^_^ Legolas, he should tell Gimli. Gimli may or may not approve but, out of respect to his friend, should not say a thing. A random elf, he should tell another random elf. You decide about their reaction, but, again, they should not say anything... yet. A random man of Gondor, he should tell anyone. You can choose! Preferably not Éowyn, though, as that would spoil the fun. However, whomever it is that he tells can react in ANY WAY, including telling someone - maybe because they're worried for their friend. Or, perhaps, they won't tell, because they think this person has gone insane and would rather not deal with it. Or maybe they're mute and can't. ^_^ Whatever you want! At this point, it's pretty much up to you. Eventually someone -probably Éowyn - important should find out by some means, and should react majorly. I shall say no more beyond this. Overall, make it a sweet, romantic thing, maybe with a bit of humor, but not too much so as to make it an all-our humor fic. Add some adventure of some sort if you'd like, or angst in Faramir's constant musings of his betrayal of Éowyn. I've said enough now, that's the end of this plot bunny!
