Happy Autumnal Equinox!

Today is the Autumnal Equinox--the first day of fall--and I have been so busy in discussions of pornography and Miriel's fate (what a mix!) that I haven't even had time to say:

Happy Autumnal Equinox!

Autumn Drabbles

Because today is the Autumnal Equinox, I have decided to forgo my normal "Word of the Day" drabble and, instead, write drabbles about the season and themes of autumn.

Tomorrow, I will use today's word and tomorrow's to write a pair of related drabbles. (And, no, this is not just an excuse to write a drabble series!)

I will begin posting drabbles as soon as I have them and continue posting the whole day through. I have an evening off tonight and, besides some housework, will be spending some quality time with my muses.

Also, I encourage any friends who might be interested to write and post autumn drabbles. I would love you to leave them in a comment or give me a link to them, if you do! They needn't be about The Silmarillion, of course (as my husband writes absolutely delightful medieval drabbles!) If the inspiration seizes you, run with it.

Oh, good Eru! ::sputtersputter:: I have written a Fourth Age drabble?! juno_magic, what have you done to me???

This is probably so totally wrong because I've never written anything past the First Age before. Please excuse my (certain) blunders....

What do you have in common with Tolkien's characters? Here are my responses...and if you think of one that I don't, feel free to add to the list in a comment.

Of course, because it's *me*, they are mostly First Age/YT characters :)
