I've been doing a load of volunteering this summer and, since where I was volunteering had a tendancy to go quiet for long periods of time I took along LOTR to re-read. While reading, the idea for a stupidly big AU hit me and it's been growling at me since then. Basically, what if Elrond hadn't allowed Merry and Pippin to join the Fellowship? What if two others had been chosen instead? I'm going with Glorfindel and an OC (male). I figured I might as well create a character since I'd basically have to create a character anyway, even if I used a canon name. I've got a rough outline up until the breaking of the Fellowship, but after that I get a little stuck. Because Boromir is still alive, Merry and Pippin are not there to be captured so there's no reason for the cross-country run across Rohan and because there's no Merry and Pippin the orcs focused on Frodo and Sam, meaning they couldn't depart quietly. I know that Boromir is going to continue onwards to Gondor but for everyone else I have no idea. ![]() Little help please. |

That sounds very interesting! Somehow, you'd have to get the gang to Rohan...Or play with how not purging Rohan of Saruman's influence and the subsequent deletion of the Battle of Helm's Deep would affect the War of the Ring. Oh, CoM, you've stumbled upon a treasure trove of AU ideas. |
