silwritersguildThe SWG will turn five years old in exactly a week! As discussed in an earlier post, in celebration, we are inviting members to contribute ideas for themes for which we will be putting together compilations of old and new work. The first round of themes is now available! Please note that if you want to send older work for the earlier themes, you should do so as soon as possible, as the due dates are now less than a week away.
-Most Sinister Villain
-Who?? A Celebration of Minor and Original Characters
-Númenórean Queens
-Clash of the Titans
-Do Something That's Never Been Done
-Heroes and Antiheroes
Our birthday page has more information, including descriptions and due dates for each theme.
Anything that meets our site requirements! Every participant is welcome to send as much as s/he wants; however, we will only guarantee that we will post one of each of the following for each participant for each theme: story/essay excerpt (300 words or less), poem, artwork, and ficlet (300 words or less). If we have space, of course, we will post more. We will compile all of the works into a themed compilation that we will post on our website. (For those who may not have been around when we've done this in the past, Seven in '07 is a good example.)
We also encourage you to create new works for the challenges. Also, please remember that there is no due date for new works, only older works! We will keep adding new works for all of the themes throughout our birthday event.
Anyone! You do not need to be an SWG member to participate. In fact, if you know of any individuals or groups who might be interested in participating, please pass the word along.
You can always email work to us at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org, or you can use the handy-dandy form up on our birthday website (which basically accomplishes the same thing).
If you email us, please include your name as you want it to be spelled on the website, a webpage that you want your name to link to (optional), and an acknowledgment that you've read the document linked above.
We are also still looking for new themes, and we encourage everyone to send their ideas, no matter how wacky or ordinary you think they may be. Also, we have not received a single idea for a token yet, so please send those too! :) Our birthday website has information on all of the above, and please do ask if there are any questions.
