Jubilee

Jubilee challenge banner - Many hands holding up glasses to toast amid golden confetti, and text "Jubilee SWG Challenge 1 Jan - 15 Feb"

Every January, we kick off the year with a challenge to nudge us to recommit to our creative lives by creating a fanwork for one of the previous year's challenges. Whether finishing that epic novel for the challenge that ran away or making a sketch or writing a drabble, the idea is to make something fannish during the month of January with one of our challenges as inspiration!

This year we are doing something slightly different. This January, any challenge from January 2017 onward is fair game. Is there a challenge from before your time you think would have been fun? Do it now! Did you start a fanwork for a challenge long ago but never completed it? We hope this gives you motivation to finish! If you have no unrealized or unfinished projects (congratulations, we are in awe), choose from any of the past challenges - just pick a prompt you haven’t done before. And if you’re utterly exhausted after the past year and/or the holiday season but ready to go on a reading binge or appreciate some art, this challenge includes commenting stamps!

You will receive a stamp on your prior collection(s) for any challenges you complete or comment on now, as well as a stamp for the Jubilee challenge on your 2023 collection. When you post to the SWG archive, please make sure you select the prior challenge you're completing and the Jubilee challenge.

There are a few caveats and mod requests:

Power and Desire: The Silmarils vs The One Ring by StarSpray

What do the Silmarils and the Ring have in common? They are both the titular objects of their respective books around which the major plot turns, it is true. They are both made by powerful individuals, and are desired by many different people, and when they are lost and/or stolen their makers are desperate to retrieve them. Characters die for them, and kill for them. At this extremely surface level reading they do, indeed, seem very similar. But the deeper you look at each object the more glaring differences show themselves, until you realize that they do not parallel, but rather oppose each other.
