dawn_felagundBack to Middle-earth Month--or B2MeM--was started a few years ago as a way for Tolkien fans to relive the first heady days of their fandom involvement. While it was aimed at fans who had become involved because of the movies, at SWG, we've always broadened it to include all fans, regardless or when or why they fell in love with the stories of J.R.R. Tolkien. B2MeM is observed in March, so why am I bringing it up now?
Those of you who have been in SWG for a while know that we've done something special for B2MeM for the past two years. The first year, we asked people to share their stories of how they found Tolkien's works; last year, we put together a "quote tour" of Arda. But, this year, we need your help!
This year, my comoderators and I have put together a Back to Middle-earth Month event that everyone can be a part of. Like Seven in '07, we are asking people to contribute ficlets, poems, artwork, and excerpts of longer stories that illustrate this year's B2MeM themes, but we are also asking everyone who sends in a piece to offer a few words about why their piece, or The Silmarillion as a whole, or all of Tolkien's works, or fandom is meaningful to them.
Following beneath the cut is the full guidelines for the project. The project's homepage is available on our website here.
