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!

No, I did understand. It may not seem so, but numbering the cards is a big undertaking. Each number is a separate text layer in a Photoshop file. That's twenty-four text layers to be altered per card, times 105 cards. Even if it takes three minutes per card (I'm being conservative), five hours of renumbering cards is just not something I'm up for right now. :) If someone wanted to do this to run bingo with the cards, I'd be happy to share the PSD files with that person. The main reason I'd be willing to re-run bingo, even if I do it on my own, is that the raw materials are there; I'd just need to choose a block of time when I could manage it behind the scenes.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like it was no big deal. I think I was misunderstanding what you were saying, then - not surprising given I've been up all night and am not well physically. I certainly didn't mean to suggest what I was suggesting wasn't a big undertaking, just wanted to make sure we were on the same page.

THanks for all the work you do on BMEM. I honestly don't see how you and your mods find the time on top of running SWG. You're a real asset to the fandom.
