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.

I was rather anxious about this one, initially--the compilation idea seemed to demand that I should write something especially good, especially long or especially accessible. I also often don't find it all that easy to post to a queue and have to wait for a reveal date. I liked the seasonal theme, though!
I picked a song prompt, because I imagined that would be easiest but did not actually find it so. I like the piece that eventually came out of that, but it wasn't particularly long or all that accessible (in the sense of being very Silmarillion-oriented).
I guess I relaxed eventually; I ended up also writing three non-compilation pieces. And I did the review challenge, too.
This was the year I wrote a summary poem, not about my own stuff but about the whole experience. It's here:
