For June, the theme for the Teitho Contest will be Crossing Borders.

For this challenge, you have once again many possibilities. You could understand the theme in the geographical sense and have your characters cross the border from one country to the next. So how about writing about Aragorn's wandering years? He must have seen quite a few borders in his time. Or how about Legolas crossing the most important border in Tolkien's world: The one between Arda and the Undying Lands?

But of course you can interpret Crossing Borders in many different ways. People can cross cultural borders, borders imposed by race, age, gender or universe. You see, you can take this theme into many directions! We only ask you to stay within our guidelines and include Aragorn and/or Legolas somewhere in the story. But apart from that you can cross as many borders as you want!

And here are the winners:

Decision of a Horse by Amarok
No Bravery by Imaginigma 2nd place
The Dumb Dare by Mellon o Elrond
The Road Not Taken by StarLight 3rd place
The Undiscovered Country by Wimsey 1rst place
To Dwell Among Strangers by Allee 1rst place
Unsuspecting by Periphery
Wherever You Will Go by Spaceroses

Your Teitho-moderators,
