B2MeM 2013:: Day Three: Wildcard Day

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door. You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Throughout the month, we will offer weekly wildcard days, days when there are no new prompts but instead a simple, Tolkien-related task, for those who wish to participate. We hope wildcard days will give you a chance to refresh your muses, read, catch up on your WiPs, and breathe! :)

Our first wildcard day task: Step out your front door.

B2MeM is an event for the entire Tolkien fandom. Just look at what's been posted so far! All three major books are represented and characters ranging from Bilbo to Balrogs, Finrod to Faramir. Because of our diversity, though, we may not all know each other and we may define ourselves more by the communities from which we come rather than viewing B2MeM as itself a community. So, today, step out from your front door. Say hello and meet someone new. Lean out, take a look down the road, and ponder where it leads.

He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: its springs were at every doorstep, and every path was its tributary.

To participate, leave a comment here and introduce yourself. Tell us the name you go by, what your passion is in fandom, and anything else about yourself that you want to share. Then, share a link to your favorite of the fanworks that you've created. (If you're new and don't have any fanworks yet, feel free to share a link to your favorite work by another author or artist.) The link you share does not have to be to a B2MeM piece; please make sure you include appropriate ratings and warnings if this won't be apparent when visitors click on the link.

After you've introduced yourself, take a moment to read/view another person's fanwork and leave them a comment to say hi and tell them what you thought.

*Peeks cautiously out of her door*

Hello! I'm Zeen, or [livejournal.com profile] moetushie, on LJ and DW. (I'm Zeen on AO3, because, hey, confusing.) I'm mostly interested in the Silmarillion end of things, I'm fascinated with big, complicated families and also DOOM, so of course I adore the Finwëans. And the episode where Túrin goes around, ruining people's lives. Ah, good times.

Hm, I guess I'd rec my space AU? It's Fingon/Maedhros IN SPACE, rated mature, approximately 15,000 words, (mostly because terrible things happen to them, but read the additional tags for additional information.)

Fingon/Maedhros in Space sounds awesome, I'll definitely have to look into that!

(also, Hi Zeen! I remember you from last year's bingo madness. :D)

Great choice of a fic to recommend. I adore that one!

Thank you! I was waffling about which to pick (it was down to this, the WWI AU or the Feanor/Nerdanel one) but Elleth recced this one, and I agreed. :D

Psssh, I recced the WWI AU as well. And would have recced the Fëanor/Nerdanel one, too, but there was a lot of choice either way, so I tried narrowing it down. ;)

Well, yeah you did. :D

I like to think the Feanor/Nerdanel fic as something that really could've happened in canon.
