Tolkien100 drabble community would welcome new participants

[hhimring]

Tolkien100 is a long-running drabble community that originated on LiveJournal and is currently maintained on both Dreamwidth and Livejournal. The community focusses on fixed-length or “perfect” drabbles (100 words) inspired by any fictional works by J.R.R. Tolkien including their movie adaptations (Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, as well as the others, but not RPF).

In its current incarnation (since 2018) there are also regular writing prompts (now monthly). The current prompt is “Green Leaves”.

Fills for past prompts or drabbles unrelated to the prompts are also welcome. We would really welcome new participants!

Mereth Aderthad Interview: Interview with JazTheBard by Maglor

[daughterofshadows]

Have you ever noticed that Lúthien, Maeglin, and Arwen share names that mean "twilight child"? While Lúthien and Arwen might make sense, how does Maeglin factor in? For her Mereth Aderthad 2025 presentation, JazTheBard explores this connection, noting that while Tolkien was surely aware of it in his own work, "he probably wouldn't agree with the conclusions I'm drawing from it!" Maglor interviewed Jaz about her upcoming presentation, "Twilight, Child Of: Comparisons Between Tinúviel, Lómion, and Undómiel," her love of music (and musical plans for the presentation!), and how gender further complicates her conclusion.
