Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2018

[narya_flame]

As some of you know, there was a lot of discussion after B2MeM about other fandom events it would be nice to have happening in the Tolkien community.

One of the events mentioned was a reverse Big Bang, where artists produce artwork, authors claim the art they like best and write a long-ish short story based on it. Well, raiyana has been hard at work setting up an event for this summer - officially I am her co-mod, but I will be completely honest and say that so far she has done all the difficult stuff (sorry, Raiy; work has been crazy).

We have a Dreamwidth community here and a Tumblr blog here - if you'd like to come and join us, we'd love to have you on board! Please spread the word to your fellow Tolkien lovers too.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!

Thank you both so, so much for running with the idea!

There's a fandom advertisement comm on Dreamwidth; you can post an announcement there: https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/profile

Thanks Indy! I'll look at that and see if we can get something up through there :) how are things shaping up for your trip?

I've finished buying everything on my list, though undoubtably I'll come up with little things next week. Other than that, it still really hasn't sunk in that I'm going.

Well, I've enjoyed it! (Except fiddling with the images for the banner.... there's a reason I write instead of graphics design!)

LOL, you're a star, I couldn't have coped with all that faffing about...

Honestly, my frustration warranted the Good Whiskey (Currently a Royal Brackla Cawdor I got as a gift from an English friend ^^ particularly if you add my "How are these people seriously asking this"-FAQ Compilation work... I've earned this bottle of red, I tells you.)

*Squeals* you're a whisky fan? I love whisky! Current favourite = Compass Box Spice Tree :D

(My Maglor and Olorin also drink whisky...)

Spotted the promo on fandomcalendar - such a great idea!
