Guideline/Rule 9 does allow you to adjust the challenge for your own needs.

Anyway I would adjust it so much that it would be a totally different thing so maybe I let you participate and only watch myself....

Sounds like fun! I've been reading far too much light fantasy lately.

Rather telling of my reading isn't it? On a serious note though, it would be fun to see what others have been reading.

This is certainly a great idea, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with the theme of this forum, which is the works of Tolkien. I would suggest that JennyHallu, as initiator of the idea, find another possibility for perpetuating this - perhaps a new forum or a personal website could be created for it. We have no off-topic sub-forum on the Downs, so I must enforce forum policy and close the thread. Those who are interested can contact JennyHallu by PM; she can also place a link to the challenge site in her signature. I will gladly post information here, even after closing the thread, if she passes it on to me. For those who accept the challenge, good luck and have a good time!
