B2MeM 2013 Is Coming!

[dawn_felagund]

Yes, that time of year is almost here again: time for our annual Back to Middle-earth Month event! Once again, the Silmarillion Writers' Guild, Many Paths to Tread, and Arda Inspired will be teaming up to bring the Tolkien fandom a month of fun, creativity, and community.

We are currently in the planning phases for this year's challenge, and we need help and feedback from our community to help us decide the challenge we want to run this year. If you have an idea for an event, please do share it in a comment here! (If you want to see what kinds of events we've run in the past, we have links to them all on the SWG site here: http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/specialprojects.php.)

Even if you don't have a specific idea for an event, if there's a past event that you loved (or a past event that you'd rather not see something similar to this year), please comment and let us know.

We have only one requirement for B2MeM events: They should be open to the entire Tolkien fan-writing and -art communities. Ideally, this should also allow people to participate whether they have one or thirty-one days free to work on challenges.

We look forward to hearing everyone's ideas and getting this year's event ready to roll!

Part of me really likes that idea, although it also might seem a bit of a let-down not to have anything at all to write for the final week. I'm not sure what strictly drabblers would make of that.

I'd be behind the idea if we rounded it out with some kind of fun/silly little writing party with an appropriately themed prompt on the 31st.

Good point. Dare I suggest a Reading Week for the first week of April? :^O

I think that depends on whether something is put together that doesn't leave most of us as drained as last year...which it sounds like most everybody is in favor of, anyway!

Yes please, and I actually mean that seriously. XD

*is not at all looking at all the Bingo scraps, nope, never* Only because I really don't need to look at them, they are already haunting my every step. ;)
