New Challenge: On a Different Page

April 2022 SWG challenge On a Different Page April 15 - May 15 banner shows a book filled with clippings based on Tolkiens non-Arda works

Tolkien may have been the maker of Middle-earth, but that wasn’t all he wrote. This month we encourage everyone to explore Tolkien’s other works—prompts for this challenge will come from Tolkien's non-Middle-earth works.

Please remember that we are a Silmarillion archive, and fanworks for the challenge must have a significant basis in The Silmarillion. The challenge is to create a Silmarillion fanwork using prompts from Tolkien's non-Middle-earth texts; it is not a challenge for fanworks about those texts, although crossovers remain welcome on our archive. See our FAQ on "Silmfic" for more information on how we define Silmarillion-based fanworks.

To receive a prompt for this challenge, comment on our Dreamwidth, send us an ask on Tumblr, post to the #monthly-challenges channel on our Discord, or message us through the SWG site.

In order to receive a stamp for your fanwork, your response must be posted to the archive on or before 15 May 2022. For complete challenge guidelines, see the Challenges page on our website.
