I challenged you LotR authors to write a girl-drops-in-Middle-earth story that is realistic, where Westron isn't English, she doesn't meet friendly people and she is neither special, important or gifted and doesn't necessarily live very long or stay in Middle-earth for any length of time.

This plot bunny has come to mind: girl goes to Middle-earth via a ship wreck...ends up in the ocean far, far off the southern coast of Middle-earth and is "rescued" by the Corsairs of Umbar.

~cackles madly and shuffles off~

P.S. Has anyone noticed that girls who fall into Middle-earth rarely, if ever, arrive in inclement weather? I have this great vision of a girl popping up in the middle of a snow storm.
