What If? LoTR.
What if Merry and Pippin weren't allowed to join the Fellowship?
Imagine that all other canon factors are still in place. Answer with whatever you think might have happened, but try not to carry it out too far -- leave some room for someone to add on. For example, Bob could write "Elrond would have a heart attack and die" and Joe could add "And then Arwen would be free to marry Aragorn whenever." If you don't agree with what someone else thought would be the outcome, post your own idea -- if you think Gandalf is the one who'll have a heart attack, take advantage of the way the LJ comment system works and start a new branch of that train of thought.
