Get warm and dry again after surviving today's apocalyptic deluge in Edinburgh.
No?
OK, on Day 6 I wished for an event for the smaller Tolkien canons (i.e. not Hobbit, LOTR, Silm/HoME), and...if you want the thing, make the thing, right? I'm thinking along the lines of a low-commitment fic and art swap, but there are a few things giving me pause:
1) I don't see a logical space in the Tolkien fandom calendar for it.
2) I already co-mod a pretty big fandom event in the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang, which consumes my fannish life from May to September (and I wouldn't have it any other way, I love that event and I'm so proud of it).
3) Is there even any demand for an event like this or am I paddling the canoe on my own? I know that the small canons can be requested in a lot of events, Tolkien and multi-fandom, but it's rare to match on them even in Tolkien-only events.
Thoughts, Tolkien friends? If enough people are interested and I can see a way to make this happen in a fairly low-effort, low-stress manner, I might be willing to take it on.
