Admin Post: Four Days Left in the "Song of Exile" Challenge!

[dawn_felagund]

If you are interested in receiving a stamp for this challenge, there are four days left to finish and post your fanwork to the SWG archive. Fanworks are due on the archive (LJ/DW for fanworks other than writing or podfic) no later than September 10th to be eligible.

If your Silm40 story is also an entry for this challenge, it must be received by me no later than September 10th. Of course, you won't be able to post it to the archive right away, but I'm happy to count it and award you your stamp. Please let me know if it is a challenge entry; I'll be shuffling dozens of fanworks over the next few weeks and can't be trusted to remember anything at this point!

If you still want to jump on board, here is the prompt:

Create a fanwork about exile or exiles. About being exiled. About the people who are exiled. About the decision to exile, the leavetaking, the consequences. About metaphorical or symbolic exile.

See this post for member-submitted prompts related to exile, if you want more inspiration.

Song of Exile stories can be found here. Please consider letting the author know if you enjoy their work!

And if you're just joining us, full challenge guidelines can be found here.

Question about the Song of Exile challenge: can I submit *part* of my Silm40 story for the Song of Exile? The first section of the story would work for the challenge, the rest of it not so much. The rest of it is also not yet done, I'm at 4700 words so far, and not sure yet how long it's going to end up. (I've blocked out some writing time tomorrow, and hope to produce something specific to Song of Exile, but I can't be sure it will work out. This is my backup plan!)

[dawn_felagund]

Yes! Just send what you have that you want to count for the challenge either today or tomorrow; I won't do anything with it until I have the full piece, in case you want to make revisions, but it will let me count it for the challenge.

Does that sound workable?

[grundyscribbling]

That sounds workable, thanks!
I'm still hoping to get something written as a standalone for Song of Exile, but so far I don't think it's working quite as hoped. (Celebrimbor's as stubborn as everyone else in his family...)

I managed to produce something that stands on its own, although I'm not sure how. (I started and gave up on four other things first.) But it was a great reassurance to know I could always turn in the Silm40 piece if necessary, thank you!

Yay! You're welcome! I'm glad it worked out. :)
