This one will be fairly broad, which seems to equate to difficult, but here it is, all the same: Write of story of any length, using any character, that can be posted in By Moonlight and Starlight (Second Age) or Beyond the Encircling Seas (in Aman). They are the only categories with no posts, and so are feeling unloved.  |

You don't want much, do you?  I'll try to think of something. The Aman one sounds tempting. thinks abput a mother & son reunion (Nethwen & Thranduil), with maybe a grandson thrown in for good measure But it will have to be after my drabble cycle is over. The weekly deadlines for the drabbles will keep me hopping for a couple more weeks. |

Yup, this is my problem as well, 'cept it is different things that have me swamped for the next couple of weeks. I have an Aman-Legolas story in my WIP folder that I hope to get a chance to write but it will be a few weeks at least. The good news is the challenge has no deadline, so after your drabble cycle is done will be a fine time to do it.  |

Can someone throw me a major event of the second age that I can narrow down just what time frame that is in? I'm not too good with anything not covered in the movies and main books.

Hmm...k, some of the most majorest events of the Second Age:
Numenor is created and Elros made its first king.
Oropher (or Thranduil, depending on your preference) founds an elven realm in southern (or northern, if you choose Thranduil) Greenwood.
Celeborn and Galadriel found the Elven city of Ost-in-Edhil (on the west side of the Misty Mountains, in Eregion) and the elven realm of Lorien (on the east side of the Misty Mountains.)
In Ost-in-Edhil, Celebrimbor, with the aid of Sauron, fashions the Nine and the Seven rings. Celebrimbor, sans Sauron, creates the Three Elven rings. Sauron creates the One ring.
Sauron attacks Ost-in-Edhil in hopes of claiming the Three. He gets the Seven and the Nine, but not the Three, and cruelly slays Celebrimbor. Gil-Galad sends Elrond (with an army) from Lindon to the aid of Ost-in-Edhil, but he gets there too late to do more than cover their retreat. He founds Rivendell, where the refugees from Ost-in-Edhil await reinforcements from Gil-Galad. Gil-Galad and an army from Numenor (led by Tar-Minastir) comes to their aid.
Ar-Pharazon captures Sauron and takes him to Numenor. Sauron convinces the Numenorians to invade Valinor. Numenor is destroyed (taking Sauron with it.) Elendil, Isildur, and Anarion flee and are carried by the sea to Pelargir, ally themselves with Gil-Galad, and found the realms of Arnor (in the north) and Gondor (in the south.)
Sauron returns. The Last Alliance of Men and Elves is formed. Gil-Galad and Elendil are killed. Isildur cuts the One ring from Sauron's hand and claims it for his own.
Hmm, did I miss anything?

There are also plenty of things you could put in the Second Age, ie:
Thranduil meeting his wife and/or having other children before Legolas.
Thranduil attempting to go the aid of Ost-in-Edhil, but getting cut-off and unable to cross the mountain.
Thranduil getting hurt attempting to go their aid.
Thranduil getting hurt at Dagorlad and his warriors fearing they are about to loose their king again (as Oropher had already been killed in the battle) and rallying around him to get him out of harm's way.
Canon-wise: Thranduil could react to his father's death and becoming king.
Elrond meeting Celebrian for the first time.
Elrond and Elros making their choices to be Elf and Man.
Elrond reacting to the death of Elros.
Elrond could get hurt in battle.
Glorfindel, Erestor, Celeborn, Galadriel, etc. could get hurt in battle.
And on and on and on... ;D

Ai! That empty spot in the Second Age category is tweaking all my obsessive-complusive transmitters. Hence, I am resorting to bribery. A banner (with character of choice) to anyone who post in the Second Age category, By Moonlight and Starliight!
