Seven months ago, we started on this journey called FanFic Tumble. A number of dedicated authors, with the help of a few invaluable pinch hitters, created no less than eight adventurous tales set in Tolkien's Middle-earth, in which they invented new characters, wrote evil cliffhangers and solved plot riddles. Now, for your reading pleasure, I am proud to be able to reveal the stories as well as the various authors who worked on them (note: if you've visited fanfictumble  before The Great Reveal, you may have to refresh your browser window to gain access to the stories).
