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!

That sounds wonderful, I'm flailing with glee a little - and a lower-key Bingo definitely would be better for everyone's sanity, so no complaints from me on that count. XD (I still haven't written/finished half of the prompts from last year, and want to so much!) The same with the RP - I miss RPing (after doing it for years in the gondolin_rpg), but on the other hand the end of that took away one immensely satisfying creative outlet that made me focus on fic again much more productively so I'm in two minds about that one. Doesn't make it any less of a great idea. :)

And you're welcome! I just linked the planning post on my tumblr as well, so there will hopefully a lot of ideas from people who don't usually participate! :)

Yay! Thank you! We're always looking for fresh blood ... erm, I mean, new participants. ;)
