Admin Post: "Start to Finish" Challenge Entries
Nov. 11th, 2019 02:42 pmThis past month's challenge asked fanworks creators to use a famous first line to start their story or inspire their fanwork. We had eight stories turned in for the challenge. If you're looking for something to read, go check them out and, if you enjoy the story, please consider letting the author know. All links go to the Table of Contents for the story, where you can learn more information about the story if needed.

Housekeeping Notes: All stamp collections are updated. If you're missing stamps, they are really and truly missing; please let me know. You can comment here, email me at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org, or reach out over any of the SWG's social media.
As of today, I will be checking for new comments for the "In Rare Form" and "Start to Finish" challenges. If you leave a comment on an earlier challenge and need a stamp, just let me know! Comment challenges never expire.
