SWG Re-Read: Banner and Icon post

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

This 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.

The thing about elves, as I was regarding the Silmarillion, though, is that I often forget they are elves, and the difference between elves and humans, apart from mortality/immortality seem to be quite subtle.

That's because Elves are human, as per Letter 153: "Elves and Men are evidently in biological terms one race, or they could not breed and produce fertile offspring – even as a rare event: […]." (Pandemonium_213 has an essay on this subject if you're interested.)

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.)

but SWG does indeed have a great amount of amazing fics, and a multitude of pairings

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

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.

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 think the re-read is helping clear things up too. :")

I'm glad to hear that!
