Yes, it took me 1,5 weeks to do my picture, although in the end the drawing and photographing took at most 20 minutes together. I'm sorry I suck. Anyway, there's only one more picture and one more picture to go, so even by pessimistic estimate we should be done in two weeks...? Yay!

I was on holiday in England when I had to write...(so it took me a bit longer than what I had hoped)

When there are this many playing, I guess we just have to accept that people will get delayed. Perhaps with smaller numbers one can enforce a certain amount of discipline. . .

Once upon a time, a ridiculous pixie named Aganzir was reading The Silmarillion. Somewhere near the passage that goes

Quote:
Many times Morgoth essayed to smite him, and each time Fingolfin leaped away, as lightning shoots from under a dark cloud.
she was inspired to draw this picturediculous image.



Suddenly, a wild Sally appeared! Quoth the Sally:

Quote:
"Not now," said the Witch King as No Man stepped up to him, "I'm trying to ride my pony."
Only this, and nothing more.

A travelling Beregond, who was at that moment tapping, gently rapping at the chamber door, found that he had scratched this picture into the fresh green paint.



Upon seeing the image in the round green door, Galadriel55 was unable to keep herself from bursting in and screaming

Quote:
A monument shows the Witch-King, sitting on a pony, rejecting Eowyn who is challenging him with sword in hand.
and then demanded seed cakes and cold pork.

The bust of TheGreatElvenWarrior on its stand wept tears of ink, leaving a stain on the floor that greatly resembled this:



Pitchwife saw the omen, and lifted up his voice and wailed

Quote:
The Witch-King's heart was broken when the bass-player of Sisterhood, dressed as a knight, refused to dance with him at the carnival.

Legate, who had just stepped out of the elevator, was so surprised he spilled pancake batter all over himself. At least it gave the laundryboys something to do. Why he had pancake batter at all was a mystery, but doubtless it had something to do with the shape of one of the pancakes made from the salvaged batter:



Hookbill the Goomba, head of the "Every Day Is Pancake Day" club, promptly changed the manifesto of the club to:

Quote:
SkipSpence was not entirely impressed with the Witch King's idea for a pancake-dance-party while they were still trapped in the terrifying and soul destroying bowels of rainbow hell with the phantom of the opera and his tiny minions.
As he carved it into the face of a nearby cliff, a Rune came to life and stole his chisel. And his banana. Rune took the banana and beat Hooky to death, and then carved this into his tombstone



The penguin known as Thinlomien witnessed the whole thing. Realizing she was sitting on a gold mine, she grabbed her newspaper, cut out words and mailed this blackmail note.

Quote:
Sam Gamgee becoming the Ring Lord had unexpected consequences, especially for the Witch-King and the Gay Pride movement
Little did she realize she was sitting on a actual gold mine at the time and could have made her fortune without resorting to questionable and illegal methods.

Eonwe saw her drop the blackmail note, and in his report to the police he drew this incriminating portrait:



On this evidence, the police arrested Blind Guardian. They were forced to let her go after she revealed her airtight alibi of:

Samwise steals the Nazgul's pride and makes them fight for a new cause

If only they had asked her whereabouts on the preceding Thursday. Then they would have found that her ever loveable partner in crime Gil-Galad was painting a certain image all over the city.



While shopping for green paint to repaing her door, Aganzir happened to see the nasty graffiti on the wall of the paint shop. The Newspaper interview was published that same evening, and misquoted her as saying:

Quote:
Unlike the lions, the Ringwraith doesn't want to eat Bilbo Baggins.
And instead of the usual Phantom and Alien comic strip, a political cartoon drawn by Sally was run in its place.



Beregond was immediately fired, even though he insisted he had never worked there in the first place. He protested

Quote:
Lions drool, but the Wraith isn't impressed as Frodo stews over being caught in a compromising position.
Galadriel55 wrote exactly 55 identical letters to the editor. If the editor had bothered to put them together like the puzzle they were intended to be, they would have formed a mysterious image which looked like this:



He didn't, however. So it was up to Professional Dumpster Diver TheGreatElvenWarrior to figure it out. Upon realizing the threat to humanity, she was heard to shriek

Quote:
Three salivating lions are divided by Frodo and the Witch King minus the Ring.

Amateur Dumpster Diver Pitchwife was jealous of her discovery, and cleverly switched her picture with one he drew hastily on the back of a menu from Chateau d'Mordor:



Legate mistook the image for a legitimate menu, and attempted to order it at the restaurant.

Quote:
The fact that the Lannisters started crossbreeding with piglets led Frodo and the Witch-King into an unlikely hippie alliance.
he demanded of the goblin waiter. He was served numerous dishes of random and disgusting things, and each time he sent them back, demanding his original order in increasingly frantic bellows.

Nearby diner Hookbill the Goomba couldn't help overhear, and doodled this image on the tablecloth with his crayons.



Rune had been banned from the fine restaurant long ago for crimes against fashion, but from his vantage point at the window where he stood every afternoon from 2:16 until 4:01, he could see the picture Hooky was drawing. He was heard by everyone to mutter

Quote:
An unholy alliance, led by the Witch King, is taken by surprise by the most unlikely of enemies
Thinlomien heard his muttering and was afraid. Had she been found out? Quickly, she hid her ill-gotten wealth and drew this map so she could find her way back to it.



Eonwe immediately stole the map. He followed it for miles, ignoring the feeling that someone was following him. Years later, his body was found deep in the amazon jungle, and this was the last entry in his journal:

Quote:
The Witch-King, Eowyn and Gimli know they've had too many of Farmer Maggot's mushrooms when they unexpectedly meet a certain famous pineapple-dwelling sponge.
