Tolkien Gen Week 2026

Tolkien Gen Week will run from July 6-12, 2026!

This is a week to appreciate all of the incredible characters and relationships within Tolkien’s legendarium that fall under the broad category of “gen.” There is a great wealth of wonderful gen content in the Tolkien fandom, but those creations are not always the most visible because of the shipping-focused nature of fandom at large. This week is an effort to give them the appreciation they deserve.

This year, Tolkien Gen Week will run from July 6-12, 2026!

Any content and creations are welcome as long as it is non-romantic and non-sexual! You can create edits, gifs, fanart, fanfic, fanmixes, and more! Please tag your posts with #tolkiengenweek AND @ mention this blog @tolkiengenweek so they can be easily found. If your submission turns into a long post, please put what you can beneath a “Keep reading” divider. You may also post your creations to our AO3 collection.

Below are some prompts for each day of the week. They are not mandatory, but they are here to inspire you. This post will lead to an explanation for each one.

1. DAY ONE: Family ● Mentorships ● Community
2. DAY TWO: Friendship ● Animals ● Group Dynamic
3. DAY THREE: Gray Spaces ● Enemies and Rivalries ● Fealty
4. DAY FOUR: Solo ● Work and Craft ● Language
5. DAY FIVE: Culture ● Diversity ● Traditions
6. DAY SIX: Environment ● Places ● Objects and Symbols
7. DAY SEVEN: Freeform

This event is being organized by @arofili. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to message this blog or my main.

For further clarification, check out our FAQ, code of conduct, and prompts pages! Happy creating!!

Tolkien Native Language Appreciation Fest 2026

And we are on year #2 of organizing this fest! Last year's edition went fairly smoothly, hopefully this year we will see more people participating!

As mentioned, this is an event aimed to celebrate the diversity in the Tolkien fandom, which takes inspiration both by Tolkien’s profession as a linguist and inventor of all the languages in his opus, and his own characters’ prowess in several languages.

Not only this, but diversity also in the fandom itself! The Tolkien fandom encompasses quite literally the entire world!

So here we are, on year two, organizing this fest as a celebration once again!

As per usual, here's the details!

The event will take place the week between the 16th June and the 22nd June.

To be able to participate, please follow the below steps.

• Reblog this post and follow this blog.
• Use #jrrtlanguagefest preferably in the first five tags, so I am able to reblog your creations
• Mention the languages used in the caption of your post - a translation is encouraged so everyone can enjoy your creations
• There is no limit per day, you can post as many creations as you wish.
• You can submit any form of creation, from art, to writing, to music, even to crafts!

Silmarillion Epistolary Week 2026

Silmarillion Epistolary is a challenge dedicated to creating fanworks to tell the story of the Silmarillion in the style of an epistolary novel.

An epistolary novel is where the story is told through letters, diary entries, or other types of documents. One of the most well-known epistolary novels is Dracula, another more modern example would be The Princess Diaries series. These books use different kinds of documents and communications between characters such as letters, telegrams, email, journals, instant messaging, or texting to tell a story in a nontraditional way.

The goal of Silmarillion Epistolary is to encourage fans to take the stories we know and tell them through different kinds of documents. Some examples would be:

  Letters
   Diary entries
   Invitations/announcements
   Records
   Inventory Lists
   Research papers
   Guidebook entries
   Maps
   Blueprints
   Treaties
   Family Trees
   Recipes
   Sketches of places, plants, objects, animals, and people

There’s a lot of different documents that can help tell a story, so be creative!!

Prompts

Day 1: Daily Life, Customs, Recipes

Day 2: Exploration, New Lands, Maps

Day 3: Family, Loyalty, Journals

Day 4: Friendship, Alliance, Bookkeeping

Prompts are suggestions to help generate ideas, but you're not required to use them.

Rules 

Be kind and courteous to others. Disrespect or harassment won't be tolerated.

Entries must be in epistolary format of some kind. There are a lot of possibilities, so be creative!
