Sheltering in place? Locked down? Self-isolating? Next Wednesday, March 25, we are going to hold Lockdown Instadrabbling on the Silmarillion Writers’ Guild Discord server to spend time with fellow fans (while practicing social distancing!) and bring art and joy to the world at a time when it very much needs it. I will be online to start us off at 8 AM Eastern Time, but anyone who wants to start earlier should feel free to do so.
What is instadrabbling? Traditionally, instadrabbling involves a group of writers getting together, choosing four random words from a book, and using those four words to write and share drabbles (exactly 100 words). However, since at the SWG, we are much more about creativity than conformity, we welcome all Tolkien fanworks creators (not just Silmarillion and not just writers) to come together and make and share fannish things. We’ll certainly be drabbling to traditional prompts during that time, but all are welcome to write, create, read, squee, and just hang out!
Open invites to our server are temporarily closed, but anyone who wishes to join us can email us at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org or PM me on any of my social media platforms, and I will send an invite to join the server now. On the day of instadrabbling, I will open and post an invite across all of our spaces for those who want to participate.

But I cannot emphasize enough that the purpose is creativity, not conformity, so we have always had people join us who are doing something completely different, or we'll break our own mold by offering prompts outside the usual format.
