Fandom Snowflake: Day 7

[narya_flame]

In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy.

The Silmarillion Writers' Guild is an incredible fandom-specific archive and community with a fantastic reference section, monthly challenges, a dedicated Discord server and wonderful mods. Their character bios are invaluable for quickly tracking down information spanning multiple disparate sources.

Tolkien Short Fanworks is a community for very short texts from all Tolkien fandoms (word count up to 1000 words, especially 500 words or less), such as ficlets, all types of fixed-length forms, and poetry. There are monthly prompts and formal challenges, but you don't have to follow these; all short texts are welcome.

(SSP incoming) - I co-mod the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang, which brings together artists and writers from across the various Tolkien sub-fandoms (books, movies, games, beyond). Artists submit visual prompts to be claimed by writers, who then write a piece of fiction (min. 5k words) based on the prompt chosen.

These links sound great and such an asset to your fandom.

The Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang sounds great.

SWG in particular is an amazing resource, and the short fanworks community is lovely and very well run.

I'm very proud of TRSB :D

Over the last couple of years I find myself writing a lot of short fic/ficlets and it's always good to see a community where the form is appreciated. Glad to know that exists!

Thanks for this list!
