hhimringThank you very much for your engagement with this community over the past month!
Here is the tolkienshortfanworks challenge for June.
The thematic challenge for June is: write a piece influenced by another fandom or work.
This could be a straight cross-over but the prompt can be equally filled by any kind of fusion so that it can be entirely set in Arda or another Tolkien setting, if you prefer (compare the suggestions below).
In either case, it is probably obvious that the piece must have a significant amount of Tolkien influence as well to qualify for this community.
Three suggestions, if you need inspiration:
1) Lady Macbeth in Middle-earth?
2) Penelope and her loom in Middle-earth?
3) Little Miss Muffet?
These all happen to be female characters from western lore, but obviously you are encouraged to go way outside those categories for inspiration!
The formal challenge is a fixed length of 333 words.
Usual reminder that in order to post the fill to this community or to the related collection on AO3, the fanwork can only have a word count up to 1000 words and must be linked to a Tolkien fandom.
Rec lists and podfics can be posted as fills for thematic prompts, as long as the fanworks concerned meet those conditions.
Also we continue to welcome other pieces unrelated to any challenge, of course, including cross-posts and older stories, as long as they meet the criteria!
