Admin Post: February 2018 "Breaking Boundaries" Deadline Extended!

[dawn_felagund]

Since February is a short month (both the start of B2MeM and the SWG newsletter snuck up on me), and since B2MeM is also ongoing, then I've decided to extend the deadline for our current "Breaking Boundaries" challenge till March 15. Fanworks will need to be posted to the appropriate site on or before that date to receive a stamp. The new challenge will also be announced on that date.

If you need a reminder, here is this month's challenge:

The ages of Arda are punctuated by encounters between peoples of different cultures.They fight and fall in love and battle and betray and colonize and corrupt one another, forging understandings on one hand and rejecting them on the other. This month's challenge asks you to create a fanwork that shows a meeting between characters of two or more cultures. There are no prompts this month, but if you're looking for inspiration, check below the cut for a list of important cultural encounters and feel free to suggest more in the comments! And since February is Black History Month, we encourage participants to include characters of color or or characters from cultural groups we don't hear from a lot in the texts.
