tolkienshortfanworksThank you very much for your engagement with this community over the last month!
This month, for our challenge, we have been inspired by A Fandom Tribute to Keiliss, a collection on AO3 for tributes to Keiliss, a well-known and beloved fandom writer who died last year, due to be revealed on 19 February, which would have been her birthday. So we have chosen prompts in honour of Kei, although this is an entirely independent challenge that can also be filled if you should happen not to have encountered Kei's work at all (although, if so, please consider this a rec).
So here is our thematic prompt and our formal challenge for February:
The thematic prompt is: a piece featuring Glorfindel or Erestor or both Glorfindel and Erestor. (Kei often wrote these as a ship, but you do not have to write them as a pairing, unless you wish, and the piece does not have to be shippy, unless you want it to be.)
Optional bonus prompt element: in honour of Kei's last, sadly uncompleted but very substantial WIP, The Pink Flamingo: include a flamingo or something pink or red, especially if it is a bird.
The formal challenge is to write something involving the number 19: nineteen words, nineteen sentences, nineteen lines, nineteen paragraphs--or any other idea you can come up with.
As always, the two prompts can be filled entirely independently or combined with prompts from other challenges (in this case, obviously, especially A Fandom Tribute to Keiliss).
Usual reminder that although you can fill the prompts in any way you like, 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!
