Remembering 10 Years of Back to Middle-earth Month: Discussion Post 2014

[dreamflower]

Discussion post for 2014

The theme for 2014 was "Back to Middle-earth Month 2014: Seasons of Middle-earth".

This year's Back to Middle-earth Month event will involve putting together a compilation of writing and art related to the theme "Four Seasons of Middle-earth." Each day during the month of March, we will post a selection of stories, poetry, and artwork created in response to prompts related to this year's theme.

There will eventually be an ebook of the compilation available.

Participants chose a season, and were assigned a date for their piece to be posted.

Did you participate in the 2014 Four Seasons Challenge? Did you make posts or write stories for it? 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.

My first year!! I can't tell if it's because I hadn't done previous years that were more spontaneous and so just wasn't used to different formats, but I loved how this worked--I had the one assignment I could pour time and energy into, and then had other prompts I could pick and choose throughout the month. I'm still really proud of the fic I wrote for the compilation, Burdens of the Wise, which was the first appearance maaannnnyy of my OCs and headcanons surrounding my Dúnedain-verse. For that alone, I think this year is always going to have a special place in my heart, even going into the future.
