Back to Middle-earth Month (B2MeM) began in 2006 with an anonymous announcement on LiveJournal that encouraged people to pick a day of the week and post something Tolkien-related on it during March.

There_n_back jumped on board with prompts in both 2006 and 2007. The Silmarillion Writers’ Guild encouraged people to participate in 2006 and began holding events of its own in 2007. In 2009, Many Paths To Tread and SWG coordinated for the first time. In 2012, Arda Inspired on DeviantArt joined in and the B2MeM LiveJournal community was created. B2MeM has been hosted on LJ ever since. Over the past couple of years, we've expanded to other sites. In the summer of 2017, we moved from LiveJournal to here.

You can find more details about B2MeM's history in our Fanlore article.

Hello, I just set up a successor community to b2memsupport on DW, in case people found it useful. Is that okay?

Hi Indy! I just thought of something to do with b2mem.

Once I select my cards, how do I go about claiming them? I understand more than one person can claim the card you choose as well.

[keiliss]

Indy, question? I've claimed 7 cards, could I go back and claim two more or should I just use them informally (my original plan).

Hi mods,

I was just wondering, I've got several more chapters of "Arafinwiel's Alphabet" (written for the Alphabet Challenge from a previous B2MEM) ready to post. I've posted them on AO3 up to O, but I've only got up to H here. Should I post the rest of them here? I don't want to interfere with the upcoming B2MEM (which I'm bouncing with excitement for!)

Hi! So I accidentally deleted my card list... do I have to re-submit a new claim, or is the old claim stored somewhere? I honestly can't remember which ones I chose ;_;

When the challenge is over, is it OK to use the card prompts to write further stories if one is inspired?

I got a second bingo on the "Person vs Self" card. My first was on "Setting as character". A big thank you to all the mods for making this such a great event and rekindling my Muses.
