Dana

I just had a phone call from danae_b. One of her kitties died unexpectedly early this morning, the middle one--Perry. Faramir and the new little kitten seem to be fine, but of course Dana is not. She's pretty upset.

She doesn't post very much anymore, so I don't know if she will post about this or not, but if you have her email addy or if you know her number, you might want to get in touch. I think it might make her feel better to know people still care.

How many plots did JRRT use?

According to some people, there are only 36 plots for stories in the world, and every story is a variation on one of these. I thought it would be fun to see how many of these plots JRRT used in his stories. I just thought of whatever appropriate thing popped into my head right away. There were only 6 I could not immediately think of his using. Anyway, I’ll put my answer to the first one down, but I’ll leave the rest blank if anyone’s interested in figuring out how he used the others. For some of them there were multiple answers. And some of you may be able to figure out answers for the ones I couldn't figure out!

At any rate, I thought it might make an interesting discussion.
