Week 1 of the madness: Huin's recap

I've been reading more than writing, I think.  And not reading stuff for school, like one ought to.

Anyway, I'm kind of disappointed as I've been pretty mentally and emotionally lethargic this week, and my B2ME output has not been all that I desired or plotted.  I've--not given up, but postponed the majority of my projects.

That being said, here's a general recap of the things I've finished and put online for the event thus far:

Ongoing projects:
"A Story of a Hound," a comedic/satirical narration of Huan.  I realized, given the prompts I was getting, I could not take this seriously.  Underneath its facade, however, are my genuine, serious postulations as to Huan's origins.  I also got to throw in a meta footnote at the end of "In which we meet Huan.." which amused me soundly.
"Istari, circa 1040 Third Age," an account of the five Istari wandering about Eriador during their first year in Middle Earth.  This project was and remains my top priority.  I love the wizards.  The chapters range from sombre to funny.

Finished ficlets:
"A Watcher of Cirith Ungol," a rather horrific vignette from the viewpoint of one of the Watcher, um, statues.  For 'Alternate Viewpoints - The Tower of Cirith Ungol.'  This rather broadsided me and I'm possibly more pleased with it than with any of my other output so far.
"The Jay and the Moon," Bombur's thoughts on the eve of Bilbo Baggins' historic little excursion with the Arkenstone.  For 'Alternate Viewpoints - A Thief in the Night.'  I wanted Bombur to have more of a voice than he's ever given as the "token fat guy." I'd arguably suggest that if a person only had time to read one of my fics all month, this should be it.

I've read your piece about Bombur. I like it. I was too tired to manage a comment at the time.
Haven't managed to catch up with Huan and the Istari yet, but they are (were already) on my list.

Thanks, Himring!

Yeah, I know a longer project is harder to keep track of/find time for in this chaos so I'm rather anticipating not many comments on those for quite a while. (And here I thought I was going to do more shorter works, which I would have if the longer pieces and Life weren't monopolizing all the time...)
