Okay, since you asked, I want to confirm the booking of my place rightaway

No, seriously, if there will be a place for me, I'd like to join, but if there'd be any interest from more people who haven't participated yet, I'll gladly let them to take the place.

And if I participate, I'd like to draw, if possible. Although at first I considered myself not capable of drawing anything, I quite enjoyed it in the end. (well, if my picture scares you when the results are published, I might retreat to writing)

I started the call with
Saruman catches his orc(s) sampling his wine and "Ol' Toby".

Thinlomien draws this festive scene


Of which Glirdan states that
A Balrog and Goblin are completely drunk of wine and are decorating their tree with a scary Gandalf face.

Rikae draws this ghoulishly fun


Oddwen notes
A drunken Balrog and Gollum are rockin' around a Christmas tree artfully decorated with severed heads, at the Barad-Dur party house.

Hookbill renders this hot happening place


Farael observes
A party in Mordor where a big Sauron eye apologizes for a shortage of crisps while a drunken balrog, a Huron dressed as an X-mas tree and Gollum dance around.

Legate gives a differing view of that hot happening place

It is Firefoot's opinion
No one seems to be happy with Sauron right now: he lost Gollum's crisps, decorated an Ent for Christmas, and destroyed a flameless-Balrog's wings, who is now planning to poison Sauron

Elrond's Daughter takes a new medium and gives us

In the script for a TV special, Sauron decides to do some of the weirdest things possible.

Nimrodel reports on the atmosphere
Crisis had struck Mordor and Sauron was about to go on an emotional rampage, but worst of all, the Nazgul were currently unemployed.

Ha! That was a good round....

Count me in for the next round; I'd like to write this time, if I could.

Absolutely BRILLIANT!
That was the best one so far!

I'm going in for the next one for writing if possible!

That was fantastic!! I love this game!! So much fun seeing what others came up with!

I think I may sit out on this one and give someone else a chance. But if you need somebody, just holler and I'd be happy to join in!

Wow! That's something! I was worried it will never come up! Great! Great, great works!

I like how nicely it got twisted Interestingly, it seems that with upcoming Christmas, the Christmas theme leaked into the line, although it wasn't included in the original at all

Some of the descriptions are just hilarious! And the pictures as well (I'd put the later ones under cathegory called "Agh Bourse ishi-krimpatul".)

And I really like Rikae's balrog btw. Great artwork.

Seeing the result was definitely worth waiting for! All the pics look great, and I must say that Damrod's Sauron is irresistibly adorable with all his spikes in disarray.

If there's room for the next round, I'd like to give this another go.

Aw, shucks, Legate! I thought your ent was particularly awesome. Great expression!
This was absolutely hilarious; I don't think I will ever get tired of Silly-Sauron humor.
I'll sit the next one out, since I've probably played in more than my share of these games.
