A monthly roundup to start remembering to post more

Actually about four weeks worth of roundups from tumblr, mostly linked for this one. I will attempt to post weekly roundups after this, with the snippets in the actual post. But most of 28 days of snippets that are 200-500 words, mostly... that's a bit much to post in a single post.

Snippets:

Bilbo Baggins led a rather peaceful life, thank you very much, until an old acquaintance decided to turn it upside down, and he found himself agreeing to take a job that’s… let’s say not exactly up his alley, and might eventually cost him a little more than his treasured cozy lifestyle. Who would have thought tutoring a slightly menacing monarch’s more than slightly overbearing nephew could prove to be such an… adventure?

Early in 1st Century CE Roman-Britain, Bard Daronwy ap Athaon (Adam) is a treaty/exchange-hostage in the household of Flavius Portius Lucullus, a 300 year old immortal of plebian Roman origin, risen to patrician. Traveling back to Flavius’ estates, they are forced to shelter from the storm at the manor of Anluan Caius Metellus, the current persona of Methos, an immortal well over 3000 years old, who looks to be no more than mid-twenties.

In the present time, Methos, now Dr. Benjamin Dawson, PhD, goes to a concert ….
