Yesterday I got into an accident and hurt my ankle. I didn't go to the hospital and decided to treat myself. My grandfather dropped by a visit and lent me his cane, which was in turn, his grandfather's made by some old tree and it really looked like a staff from some DnD book.

Alone, I let my foolish childishness take over by toying with the cane with the usual "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" (I was actually caught by my girlfriend, which was really embarrassing)

So anyway, I'm currently watching Fellowship of the Ring again and thought of this...

Rewriting one of the LOTR books in a fashion on how you'd write it. I don't mean the entire book, just a couple of pages worth. Consider it as an exercise and a challenge.

The winner aside from a cookie, would be declared the AW Tolkien! (Just for the kicks of courselol)

The winner will be decided by... I dunno, three judges?

If you guys don't want LOTR, I'm up for anything else.

Interests?

Commiserations on your injury, Dusk... congratulations on your Gnarly Heirloom Walking-Stick and props on a fun idea...

One has to be careful with copyright in such matters. Some authors (or their estates) dislike fanfic, and any 'rewrite' would be indistinguishable from that. Perhaps talk to a moderator or MacAllister...

In the worst case, you could describe your own scene with some characters and see how many styles people can write it in. :) The ideal place for such a venture would be Share Your Work.
