The year is slowly ending once again. Only one month to go and 2007 will be history. That's a time to reminisce about the past and ponder about the future. Therefore, our theme for December will be As Time Goes By.

Of course a theme like this is tailor-made for Middle Earth. Think of the elves who see whole ages pass before their eyes. How does one cope with such an experience? Does it make you stronger or does it break you? Think of Frodo, whose time on the quest changes him profoundly. Think of Aragorn, who as a Numenorean lives longer than most and has the chance to experience more - and lose more.

Feel free to write a story especially for the season: about New Year-resolutions for instance or the changing of the year. How would elves or rangers celebrate that? Or write a story where time plays a more general role: the passing of time and how that affects the characters.

Here are the winners:

Circle of Silver, Chain of Gold by Ria
Like Breathing by Beth 2nd place
Of Snowballs and Changes by StarLight 1rst place
Star of Hope by Lindahoyland 3rd place
