SWG Re-Read: Banner and Icon post
Jan. 16th, 2014 06:06 pmThis is our Banner and Icon post! So far,
lignota,
ljusastjarnan,
the_winterwitch,
indy1776 and yours truly have provided graphics for this project. Many thanks!
I am not yet including the banners for upcoming chapters, but this post is going to be updated regularly, so any missing banners or icons are going to appear by and by. We'll let you know about updates on one of the other Re-read posts!
Feel free to use these graphics from their current location on the SWG Reading Group photobucket, or upload them to your image host of choice, whichever you prefer!
Any artists who want to contribute further banners or icons (especially for participants) are very welcome to do so! Please follow the guidelines for using images on SWG.) Some suggested text: SWG Re-read 2014, SWG Re-read, Silm Re-read 2014, Silm Re-read (or Silmarillion, if your graphic is large enough), or the individual chapter titles. Size-wise for banners, we're flexible, but something between 260x120 px to 500x250 px is preferred. Icons should be no larger than 100x100 px, of course.

Date: 2014-02-10 11:49 pm (UTC)It wasn't just disobeying the Valar. It was also the Kinslaying.
That is true, though perhaps on my first reading I thought the doom of Mandos had been laid on the Noldor even before the kinslaying.
It also wasn't quite a printing error: with the information Christopher had at the time, that fact was true. He only discovered otherwise years later.
Yes, which is why I grouched about how Tolkien kept changing his mind. XD I would have preferred a single canon, tbh, but I suppose it doesn't really matter.
What I meant is that I'm very tired of the "turn X evil or mean or whatever to facilitate a break-up/cheating/death/etc. so my OTP can get together."
Ah, yes, the old and tried trope. That irritates me as well.
I've a wealth of stuff to read and not much time to read it, but SWG does indeed have a great amount of amazing fics, and a multitude of pairings (yaaay). :"DD
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, so please correct me if I'm wrong: you have problems distinguishing between what's known from the books and people's interpretations?
I meant that I can't be certain if they are taking the story from other Tolkien books published/scourged from his notes or if they just made that part up as part of their fanfic-- this was mainly when I first started, though. I've since become a tad more knowledgeable about different versions and lineages of the legendarium. I think the re-read is helping clear things up too. :")
At least, I'm not as confused as before, which always makes things more enjoyable.

A single canon may be easier, but I like the pick-and-choose of HoME. (And at this end of time, it definitely doesn't matter. Tolkien's not around any longer to ask.)

One of the many, many reasons I love the site.

Okay! Yeah, that was confusing back when I entered it, too. (Sometimes I still worry if I'm missing something obvious, but that's probably not reassuring. :P)

I'm glad to hear that!

Date: 2014-02-12 10:35 am (UTC)I think everyone's got this problem when they start reading Silm fanfic. There seem to be four basic solutions:
1) Everything That Isn't In The Published Silm Isn't Canon, You Heretic
2) If Tolkien Has Written It Down At Some Point, It's Canon, Just Pick and Choose
3) If Tolkien Hasn't Explicitly Contradicted It At Some Point, I'm Fine With It
or
4) It Doesn't Matter; Either It Works, Then It Is Good, Or It Doesn't Work, Then It Sucks.
Personally, I tend to fluctuate between 2 and 3; some authors are so good (or bad ;)) that 4 is the obvious choice, though. And when I talk to someone of the 1 persuasion, I'm very strictly 3... ;)
