Important! New Ratings System
In preparation for debuting our archive, the SWG moderators have discussed the ratings system that we would like to use. Our old system was simple but inflexible, offering a mere two options to authors for rating their stories: General and Adult. In discussion, we determined that keeping the system simple was of the essence, but authors needed more choices in providing information to readers about their stories.
The new system offers three options for rating stories: General, Teens, and Adult. The new rating system is described in detail in the Ratings Guide. Please be aware that the new system will apply not only on the eventual archive but also our LiveJournal community. Please rate your stories accordingly so that readers may have a consistent manner by which to judge and choose the stories that they are comfortable in reading.
( News and Announcements )Not a member? Do you want to be?
The SWG consists of two components: a Yahoo! email group, for discussions, story promotions, and planning, and a LiveJournal community for sharing our Silmarillion writing. Members are welcome to belong to both or just one, depending on what best suits their needs.

At any time, I encourage people--both members and non-members--to contact me with inquiries. I may be reached at DawnFelagund@comcast.net or through either the Yahoo! or LiveJournal groups.
