Wrap-up Post

[mistress-tanwe.livejournal.com]

Thank you for another successful Back to Middle-earth Month! In March, we had nearly 150 fanworks posted and over 300 prompts available for adoption.

We would like to thank our mod team: dreamflower02 and indy1776 for leading the event this year, and angelica_ramses, dawn_felagund, huinare, marta_bee, mirach_ravaia, and rhapsody11 for helping create and run the event. huinare was also the mod in charge of the b2memsupport comm and indy1776 was the tagging mod.

We especially want to thank our volunteers: zopyrus for bookkeeping, lignota for tagging, and zhie for her work in the support comm.

We also deeply appreciate the work that our graphics makers did, for both participant banners and stall banners: broadbeam, heartofoshun, ladyelleth, lignota, mrowe, the_winterwitch, and zhie.


A few reminders:

• B2MeM prompts never expire, and we encourage you to keep using the market stalls as a source for inspiration when you need it! Now that the event is closed, you are welcome to use any prompt you want without paying a farthing for it.



• Likewise, the B2MeM community is open year-round for posting fanworks created using B2MeM prompts. If you are still working on a piece for a prompt that you purchased, we hope that you will post it or link to it on our community when it is finished.



• We have B2MeM subcollections on AO3 available, for years 2006-2013 and 2015. B2MeM 2014’s works are in a separate collection. (Instructions for posting to AO3 collections.)

B2MeM Challenge: Noldorin Beleriand: Gil-galad as Fingon's son.
Format: Short story - 2000 words.
Genre: Family, Gapfiller, Tragedy
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Discussion of suicidal depression
Characters: Fingon, Gil-galad, Fingolfin
Pairings: referenced Fingon/Maedhros
Creators' Notes (optional): This story follows up on 'From The Wrack And Ruin', and therefore forms part of my Ninnachel series, though Ninnachel does not feature (as this story takes place before their life intersects with Fingon's in any way).
Summary: In the wake of the Battle of Sudden Flame, Fingon finds himself isolated except for his son, and then has to make the hardest decision of his life so far.
