Greeting, dear members! I am your new mod =MirachRavaia. After some problems with the permission settings, the group is working again, and your pending submissions have been (finally) approved. We apologize for the delay. I have also sent requests for most of the expired submissions back to December. If you received it, you just need to approve it for your work to be included in the group. (It's possible you received it several times, if you submitted one picture more than once.) If your submission has expired, and you did not receive such request, plese submit the picture again! I will also get to the earlier submissions later in the next days. Just remember we do not accept porn/yaoi/implicit sexual content, doodles, or badly drawn art and wallpapers/photomanips that use photos from the movies (DA policy forbids them).

is a new group, founded by and

We are a group that unites those who write fanfiction stories for the big and wonderful world of professor Tolkien, and those who draw or paint their visions of it. Our goal is to encourage artists to read and illustrate fanfiction, and collect such stories and illustrations.

We closely collaborate with the fanfiction archive Naice a Nilme and fanfiction contest Teitho , and will have monthly challenges, whose winners will be featured at these sites.

If you enjoy fanfiction, and would like to illustrate some of the wonderful stories, or just get some illustrated tips for reading, it is a place for you!

Every year in March, the The Silmarillion Writers' Guild organizes a Back to Middle-earth Month. This year, they invite you to play BINGO!

The rules in short:
1. Start by claiming your BINGO cards. You can claim as many cards as you want; obviously, the more cards you claim, the better your chance of being the first to have BINGO!
2. Each day, we will call a number. Numbers correspond to challenges on the BINGO cards. If you have a card with that number on it, you will have 48 hours (2 days) to begin a response for that challenge and report to us that you have begun a response for that challenge.
3. Once you report that you've started working on a challenge, a volunteer will stamp your BINGO card for that challenge.
4. The first person to have five stamps in a row (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal) will have BINGO and win the game! We'll keep playing until the end of the month and award banners for runners-up.
("us" refers to SWG here )

The cards are very interesting and varied, giving many interesting prompts to artists just like to writers. The #Arda-Inspired group will create a special folder, where you can post your B2MeM entries. The game starts at March 1st, but util then you can claim cards, and even create your own and send them to the mods.
