Admin Post: March 2019 Challenge: Hidden Figures

[dawn_felagund]

For our March challenge, we will focus on rare characters and textual ghosts. Rare characters, for the purpose of our challenge, are defined as any character with fewer than five fanworks on the SWG archive as of the start of the challenge. (See the list below. Please note that major characters from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are not included, even if they have fewer than five fanworks.) In addition, any character who is unnamed counts as rare, as does any textual ghost (a character who must have existed but is not mentioned in the texts. Elleth's Textual Ghosts Project provides more than six hundred known textual ghosts.)

Naturally, you are welcome to combine this challenge with your B2MeM Bingo prompts, if you’re playing, or the prompts from Fëanorian Week!

Fanworks for this month's challenge must feature a rare character or textual ghost in a leading role. Fanworks are due by April 10 in order to receive a stamp. Late fanworks are always welcome but do not receive stamps.

Thank you to Narya for suggesting this month's challenge!
