"Lays of Beleriand Reloaded" Theme Posted

[dawn_felagund]

I have posted the compilation for "The Lays of Beleriand Reloaded," as well as several new poems created for the theme. The compilation, consisting of several lovely poems by SWG poets, is here:

There are three new poems as well. "I Walked Along Sirion Today," by Beruthiel's Cat:

I have also uploaded a new story that I wrote for "The Songfic That Wasn't" that didn't get finished on time thanks to lots of RL busyness lately. "Reembodied" tells the story of Tata, the first awoken and supposed leader of the Noldor, during the early years of the Elves at Cuivienen:

The due date for our final compilation, "To My Dear," is the 11th. Please send in all older works for that theme before then. New works are welcome for all of the themes at any time!

Our birthday celebration is drawing to a close. If you want to award any tokens and have not done so, please do--I will be taking the forms off of the website on Saturday the 18th. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. Rhapsody is working on banners for the many of you who contributed in different ways. We should have more on this soon.

Finally, a gentle reminder that I will be out of town this weekend. Anything to do with the birthday and anything urgent to do with the group or website should be sent to the mods, not me personally, at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org. I will be in a cabin in the mountains and with uncertain Internet access and want to be sure not to miss birthday submissions or other issues that need quick resolution.
