Notes: This drabble was written for the Six Days of Spooky, and it's kind of... spooky to think that I wrote it well before the recent events around here. It's kind of taken on a new feeling for me, but here it is anyway.

Posting this in the superstitious hopes that posting today will mean much inspiration in 2007. I was going to expand it, but, ehh, I guess I can do that later if I want.

I'm madly trying to get my Osgiliath wargame map done today--I've got the counters done, most of the rules and charts, but the silly map gives me problems. Hexes are... annoying, but so necessary. I really wanted to play it this evening. I mean, how cool would that be, to wargame a battle on the anniversary of the day it happened? But... we'll see. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Incidentally, I also wanted to have a nice Osgiliath battle fic to post today, but I couldn't get one ready in time, so here at least are a couple of drabbles that have a little bit to do with all that.

I was skimming through the books the other day for a project I'm working on, and a couple of lines struck me and gave me some inspiration. So... I'm back out of hiding. *grin*

Yeah, so I've been working on a certain kind of constrained writing, a type which is just a little bit easier than licking your own elbow, and just to drive myself extra-crazy, I decided to make it drabble-length as well. So, if the writing is lower quality than my norm... that's just because my thesaurus got a major workout and this is the best I could do. But, all I have to say is that I now believe that Ents took forever to say anything because they were speaking in constrained writing. (except that what I just said doesn't make a lick'o'sense.)
