Hi Aneyrin,

So glad that this challenge appeals to you! I’m looking forward to hearing from you or reading the story. As for the age issue, personally I’m open to almost anything :-).
December, I thought I had answered you. Well, if you put it that way… :-)
It would be great if several people ended up posting their own versions of this challenge!

This is written only to explain my previous entry… as “being a minor” is not the same in all countries. I AM NOT writing anything like child-porn and am strongly against it.
Actually, by some standards, the current draft is not involving a minor, as the age is 17 and I intended to raise it further before I’d start tormenting the victim, along with Faramir. But since the minor-border is 16, 18 and 21, I just wanted to make myself clear before people start thinking I’m writing something I’m not. :)

Hello,

this is a wonderful idea you have there and I can’t help but plot the story. Though with English being a foreign language to me, I doubt I’d be able to post it (even having the wonderful beta who now enjoys his well-earned rest)… and also, the current draft involves the victim being a minor and I’m not certain that’s allowed*. If you’re still interested in reading, you can always contact me per mail which I’m required to give. ;) Might take a while before I finish it though, even without involving my over-worked beta.

Thank you for the inspiration, even if the story never sees the light of the internet. ;-D

A.

NB: With regard to "I’m not certain that’s allowed": while many other sites and groups in this fandom use a strict 'no touching under-18s' rule, at this site, we accept all fiction and art in which Faramir plays a major role. As Aneyrin rightly notes in her next comment, the age of consent is different around the world. Child pornography is obviously not acceptable, but you'll find few coming of age novels (proper literature!) without some teen-aged fumbling.

Hey, I don’t think originality is the point :) Personally, I love making challenges re classic lit plots or my fave films :D

You think Boromir wouldn’t believe it, huh? Especially after Faramir tore him up face-down on the ground for three dozen Orcs to watch and gloat at? That must be one very trusting Boromir you have there ;-p

Hi December and Morwen,

I’m glad you like the challenge, hope one of you will decide to work on it!
Boromir… wow, that would be powerful (though in a way, less fun since Boromir could never believe Faramir to be a traitor, could he?).

Truth be told, the idea is not originally mine: I recently read Riley’s unfinished Harry Potter fanfiction Pawn to Queen (where Severus Snape finds himself in just this situation with Hermione Granger) and it was so beautifully written (and so frustrating that the story is not complete) that I just thought something had to be done with Faramir in it…

In future, when you use someone else's ideas, please remember to cite your sources.

Oh, my, this is an interesting challenge. I’m not used to this entire site yet, so is anyone allowed to take on challenges?

Sure, that's what they're for! Check out the Challenges index page (you can always follow the breadcrumb trail just under the grey quotes bar back to a higher level, ie a more general page):
"If you'd like to write, but need something to get you started, you can always check here for inspiration.
Please make sure that you refer to the original challenge / bunny when you post your work!
If you have an idea for a story and would like to submit a challenge to go on this page, please get in touch."

Wow…
This is powerful.
You know me, I’d first think of the captive being Boromir… How much angst is that?
