Remembering 10 Years of Back to Middle-earth Month: Memories of 2006

[dreamflower]

Discussion post for 2006:

The first mention of Back to Middle-earth Month was in an anonymous contribution to middleearthnews on February 27, 2006:

Contributed by Someone-who-didn't-give-us-their-lj-name: (O_O) March 2006: Back to Middle-Earth Month

Miss the golden days of the Lord of the Rings fandom? Get homesick for Middle-Earth? Then this is for you!

You don't need to sign up anywhere to participate. But if you see this on your friends-page and like the idea, please post this text to your LJ to spread the word.

How to participate:

1. Pick a day of the week (or more than one) on which you resolve to always post something LotR-related in March, and let your friends-list know.

2. Go back and read your favourite chapters from the book, or watch the movies again. Let the beauty of LotR inspire you. And then, share the love.

3. Start your subject line with (B2MEM) when you post, and use a "b2mem" tag. This'll make it easy to spot your B2MEM-entries.

No matter if you just ramble about your undying love for LotR, picspam us, post wallpapers, icons, or write fan fic / create fan art, the plan is to get as many LotR-related entries on our friends-pages as possible throughout March.

Sounds good? We've been there, let's go back again!

The idea caught on, but the announcement was for very general activity. A few days later a somewhat more specific challenge was issued by there_n_back on March 1.

It may be found here.

Did you participate in that very first challenge? Did you make posts or write stories? If you did, please share your experience with us here in the comments. Give us links, share your anecdotes and memories.

Did you miss out on it, but find yourself curious about it? Check out the comments and ask questions and join in the discussions! And if you check out previous works, be sure to let the creator know how you liked them.
