New Challenge: Meet & Greet

Meet & Greet Interactive Matryoshka Challenge - Silmarillion Writers' Guild - 15 February through 15 March

Every year, we run a Matryoshka challenge, which is a format that, to the best of our knowledge, we invented. (If we didn't, Morgoth did!) A Matryoshka is a cumulative challenge, where you construct a fanwork using multiple prompts that are revealed as you work. Find out more about the Matryoshka format here.

This year, we've added an interactive component. Instead of the mods sending you two/three/five/seven prompt emails, you will receive a single starter prompt and then can acquire the remaining prompts from other participants or in places where you find them posted online. Complete Meet & Greet challenge guidelines (and a list of participants to contact for more prompts) are here!

If you'd like to participate, request your first prompt here.

Many thanks to Cuarthol for this month's gorgeous banner and stamps!

And if you clicked to read this? You deserve a prompt! Here it is: Something happens in the middle of the night.
