dawn_felagundHappy Saturday, everyone!
I am once again squeaking in just under the wire by my time in getting the next theme posted on Saturday. Apologies for the delay--you all now know that Saturday is one of the busiest days of the week for me. :) In any case, the Minstrelsy and Magic theme has been posted. First, we have one of our most extensive compilations, with many fine story excerpts, ficlets, and works of art focusing on music and musicians.
We also have a pair of new stories. In Lady Roisin's Hymn of the Trees and Stars, Daeron's young daughter wishes to follow in her father's footsteps and learn to play music. The story is also illustrated by Lyra.
Rhapsody has been working on her novel Bard Rising since NaNoWriMo 2007--three years!--and is at last sharing the first chapters of her story for this theme. Rhapsy's novel will take readers on a journey, showing how Maglor went from one of Arda's most famed musicians to a kinslayer and famed warrior. The prologue and first two chapters are up on the birthday page.
The next upcoming due date is for the Through the Ages theme, which features writing and artwork about characters who play an important role in multiple ages. Any older work that you'd like us to include in the Through the Ages compilation should be in by Monday, August 30. Older works for the Cuivienen theme were technically due today, but since I am so late in sending out this announcement, if you missed sending something, I will be less inclined to look at the date on the email for the next day or so. ;) New work for any of the themes can be sent at any time; there are no due dates.
I hope everyone enjoys the new compilation and many, many thanks to those of you who have contributed so far by sharing work, reading and reviewing your groupmates' stories, suggesting themes and tokens, and awarding tokens!
