"Into the Woods" Theme Posted

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Hi, everyone,

I have posted the compilation for "Into the Woods" and it holds two stories and quite a couple of gorgeous pieces of artwork. The compilation which is all about Doriath and its inhabitants, is here: Into the Woods.


"To Music of a Pipe Unseen", is a fantastic piece of art made by Alassëe where she presents a dancing Lúthien.

Lady Roisin and Eli have co-written a series of ficlets named Children of Doriath where both author's explore the bond between Lúthien and Daeron. The story can be found here.

Please also have a look at the artwork Lyra made that has been made for the above mentioned story, it's named "Melian's Children".

Lady Roisin wrote a short story for this theme, she approached the romance story of Lúthien and Beren from a fresh angle and it's called Lady of the Hunt.

And there is even more artwork:

Szilvi shared two pictures of painted bottles called 'In the Woods of Neldoreth' with us and there is also the piece "Daeron in Neldoreth Neldoreth" by the same artist.

I have also uploaded two new stories that we received the past days for the theme "Five Things". "'What is it?'" is a ficlet series written by Eärillë. Someone was cheeky enough to send several things in Arda, and this piece shows how Adra's inhabitants responded to it.

If you ever wondered how a friendship between Indis and Míriel would have looked like, Five meetings would be an intriguing story to read. Clotho123 explores how would the friendship have been between Indis and Míriel if they had known each other. If you want to know how that might have looked liked, go here.

The due date for our final compilation, "To My Dear," is today. So if you have some last minutes excerpts for older works to send in, do it soon! New works are welcome for all of the themes at any time!

Our birthday celebration is drawing to a close next week. If you want to award any tokens and have not done so, please do-- the forms will be taken off of the website on Saturday the 18th. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far.

Finally, a gentle reminder that Dawn is still 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 Dawn personally, at moderator AT silmarillionwritersguild DOT org. We're simply uncertain how her internet access will be and the mods want to be sure not to miss birthday submissions or other issues that need quick resolution.

Best regards,

Rhapsody

Addendum to 'Into the woods'-theme

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Hi all,

Two excerpts for 'Into the Woods' have decided to play hide and seek to us moderators on this rainy Sunday (for me at least), but I relocated them and added them to the page for this theme. On behalf of the moderator team, I'd like to apologise that this happened, but even we have Murphy visiting us once a while.

The stories and authors affected were Lady Roisin and her story 'Lady of the Hunt' and Clodia's story 'Blood and Fire'. You can find both excerpts on the theme page here:

I hope you all have a nice Sunday,
