independence1776Hey everyone! Given the changes in mods over the years, we felt it would be a good idea for us to do this so you know who we are.
Independence1776
Indy (independence1776) has been a part of the Tolkien fandom for over a decade. While she can normally be found writing about Maglor, Elrond, and some of the people related to them, her reading taste is far more varied and encompasses the Years of the Trees to the Fourth Age and beyond. (She has a not-so-secret love for Maglor in history and Elves in the present day.) She first participated in B2MeM in 2009, started volunteering for B2MeM in 2012, became a mod in 2013, and became head mod in 2015.
Linaewen
Linaewen (linaewen) fell in love with Middle-earth several decades ago when she began reading Tolkien -- since that time, she has done her best to read everything written by him and about him she can get her hands on. She eventually turned to writing in the fandom when she ran out of things to read, and because there were not enough stories about Boromir. She has been a Boromir fan since the beginning, and he and his fellow Gondorians feature heavily in much of her writing. Linaewen first participated in B2MeM in 2013; this is her second year serving as a mod.
Zdenka
zdenka grew up with Tolkien's books but discovered fandom relatively late. She first started writing Tolkien fanfic in 2011. She enjoys a wide variety of Middle-earth characters, settings, and genres, but she most often writes Silmarillion-based gen and femslash. She sometimes attempts Tolkien-inspired poetry. Zdenka joined B2MeM as a tagging volunteer in 2012. She became a mod in 2017.
Dawn Felagund
dawn_felagund is the founder and owner of the Silmarillion Writers' Guild, which helped to first popularize Back to Middle-earth Month more than a decade ago. This is Dawn's twelfth year moderating B2MeM. It's to the point that she forgets which year belongs to which event. (Even Bingo.) Dawn writes mostly Silmarillion-based fiction and essays and is especially in love with the House of Finwë. When not doing fannish stuff, Dawn can be found making art and stories, designing websites, teaching, standing on metaphorical soapboxes, and schlepping around the countryside in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.
Angelica
angelica_ramses's first contact with JRR Tolkien's world was in 1979 when she read The Silmarillion. In 2006 she discovered Silmfics and added a whole new dimension to her appreciation of the wonders of Middle-earth. Since 2008 she has been a comoderator at the SWG. She has been involved with the Back to Middle-earth Month planning on and off since then. She has always belonged to the pro-Feanorian faction and has sworn eternal love to Maedhros and Maglor.
