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.)

Thank you for a wonderful month! I had a great time "shopping" and planning for the prompts I purchased. Even though I have yet to write and post a single one of them (mostly due to Real Life deciding to take over my free time in March), they are being worked on and WILL be written and posted -- hopefully before the next B2MEM rolls around!

Thank you so much for a fantastic and revitalising B2MEM - it certainly got me back into the fandom with a vengeance. :)

*looks at all the stories posted, and all the ones still being written based on prompts*

Yeah, I think I'll be going for quite some time!

Thank you! It was a great idea and a great month!

Thank you very much to everyone: mods, volunteers and banner makers--and, of course, to Mistress Tanwe for her excellent faire-running skills!
You all always manage to make March so special for the participants!

This was an excellent B2MeM - and I am really looking forward to finding stories cropping up in my Friends' List during the rest of the year, too. (And very probably coming back for a prompt or two, as well!)

Thank you all.

Thank you so much for all your hard work in making this such a success. I had great fun both reading and writing.

The marketplace was a great idea! Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen.

Thanks for everything. :) I may still get my prompts written, and perhaps I'll browse the stalls when I need inspiration. :)

I want to congratulate Indy and Barb and the other mods and volunteers for a job very well done this year! This was a great idea that panned out perfectly and gave us not only lots of fanworks to enjoy but tons of inspiration to go back to when we need it. Thank you to both of you and to everyone who was involved!
