Week of Kiliel

Welcome to Week of Kiliel! 

This event will be held May 17-23! The goal of this week is to celebrate and be creatively inspired by the relationship between Tauriel and Kili Durin! We want to encourage The Hobbit community to make Kiliel art, fanfiction, edits, crafts, and more!

Rules:

• There are prompts for every day to inspire your creativity! You can pick one or multiple from each day, and they can be followed as loosely or as closely as you would like!

• NSFW is allowed! While none of the prompts are explicitly NSFW, NSFW is permitted as long as it is properly tagged!

• While the main ship and characters should be Kiliel, background ships and characters are welcome! However, for this event we do not accept Durincest or other incest ships.

Aspec Arda Week 2026

Aspec Arda Week: May 10th-16th, 2026

This event celebrates asexual and aromantic spectrum interpretations and headcanons of Tolkien's Legendarium.

Any creations about the aromantic and asexual spectrums are welcome! You can create edits, gifs, fanart, fanfic, fanmixes, and more! All versions of canon/fanon and characters are included, be it from the books, movies, TV, OCs, etc. Please tag your posts with #aspecardaweek AND @ mention this blog @aspecardaweek so that your work can be easily found. If you are posting your submission to AO3, we will have an event collection! This is not an event for generative AI works.

The prompts below are a guideline for the week’s events, though you are not obligated to stick to them when participating. They’re completely optional, and more of a source of inspiration than a mandatory guideline. Feel free to explore them however you’d like; an explanation for each is given, but you can interpret them differently if you want to.

Day 1 / May 10th: Asexuality || Hope 

Day 2 / May 11th: Aromanticism || Community 

Day 3 / May 12th: Across the A-Spectrum || Loneliness 

Day 4 / May 13th: Worldbuilding || Dragons 

Day 5 / May 14th: Relationships || Linguistics 

Day 6 / May 15th: Intersectionality || Found Family 

Day 7 / May 16th: Freeform

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

Detailed Prompts

DAY ONE: Asexuality

What characters do you see as asexual? Why? How does that impact their lives?

Alternative prompt: Hope

DAY TWO: Aromanticism

What characters do you see as aromantic? Why? How does that impact their lives?

Alternative prompt: Community

DAY THREE: Across the A-Spectrum

“Asexual” and “aromantic” are umbrella terms encapsulating a wide spectrum of identities. From grayromantic to demisexual, and aroace to lithromantic —there are many other labels on the a-spectrum. This is a day for exploring those identities and the characters you associate them with.

Alternative prompt: Loneliness

DAY FOUR: World Building

How does acceptance and prevalence of aspec identity vary over both cultures and species?

Are all elves really baseline demisexual? What’s up with one third of dwarven populations focusing on their craft instead of taking a spouse? How do soul bonds work between elven couples who don’t want to have sex? Did Númenor get aphobic when they started distancing themselves from the Elves? Do aspec hobbits feel pressure to settle down and have large families?

Alternative prompt: Dragons

DAY FIVE: Relationships

Aspec people can have many different kinds of relationships, including romantic and sexual ones— but some kinds of relationships are more unique and common to the aspec communities, such as queerplatonic ones. Today is a day for exploring all these different kinds of relationships!

There are several relationships in Tolkien's works that could easily be read as queerplatonic, including Frodo & Sam, and Legolas & Gimli. There is also an interesting footnote in The Nature of Middle Earth which describes something like a queerplatonic relationship and provides some Quenya words for it.

Alternative prompt: Linguistics - Many of the terms for aspec identity come from root words of Latin, can you postulate translations for aspec terminology in any of Tolkien's languages?

DAY SIX: Intersectionality

There is more to a person’s life than just their orientation. Outside of fantasy species, how does being aspec interact with a character’s other identities and experiences, such as race or disability or religion? What’s the impact of a character’s aspec identity on their gender or other orientation labels? Today is a day for exploring the intersections of the aspec experience with other aspects of identity.

Alternative Prompt: Found Family

DAY SEVEN: Freeform

Post about something aspec related not yet covered in the topics this week, or return to a prompt you have more thoughts about! Alternatively, we have some additional prompts for inspiration that did not quite fit into the other days.

  • Recommend a fic, meta post, etc. that includes aspec identity.
  • How would a particular character respond to allonormativity / amatanormativity? What kind of amatanormativity / allonormativity have they faced?
  • What is a particular character’s relationship with their aspec identity Is it a big part of their life?
  • Post about an aspec character’s family, either found family, or blood relations. Does their family support them? Does their family (or society) have expectations of marriage and children of them?
  • Post about aspec community (symbols, cultural practices, mentorship and friendship with other aspec characters) within the context a culture within Tolkien's Legendarium, or take a character and post about what parts an aspec community they would resonate with in a modern Earth AU.

 

Angbang Week 2026

This is the official blog of Angbang (or Melron) week. 

We follow the tags "#AngbangWeek" and "#Angbang Week" as well as the current year variations of those tags. We have our ask box and DMs open if you have any questions!

List of prompts for Angbang Week 2026:

  • Day 1: First meeting/Reunion

All previously unposted creations made by you are accepted (fic, art, moodboards, playlists, etc). For any adult content, please keep it below a read more and tag it accordingly.

When posting your works, please post them on the day the prompt appears on or on a later day and tag this blog directly by using @, or add one of the following tags (#angbangweek2026, #angbang week 2026) to your post's tag list so we know the post is for the event. Please note that the event rules have been updated to clarify that we do NOT accept any creations made using Generative AI of any sort, and as such we will not be featuring any such content on this blog. For any questions or further clarifications, feel free to reach out in the asks or DMs. Happy creating and we'll see you in May!

April/May Teitho Challenge

Our prompt for April/May is Heartbreak. There are so many possibilities with this one!

Will you go back to the very beginning with the heartbreak of Melkor’s discord during the creation?

Or will you take us to the time of Miriel and Finwë? Fëanor’s heartbreak at the loss of his mother?And later his father’s death? Or the loss of the Silmarils themselves, that led to so much heartbreak for so many?

The kinslaying. The ship burning. The Helcaraxë. Battle after battle. Betrayal. The heartbreak of The Oath itself.

The death of Fingolfin. Fingon. Finrod. The sons of Fëanor, one after another. The heartbreak of those left behind: Maglor, Galadriel, Elrond.

The tragedy of the House of Hurin.

Or will you come to the time of Celebrimbor—the glory of Eregion and Khazad-Dûm and the devastation that followed? The Last Alliance?

The travails of Frodo. The lonely travels of Aragorn. The heavy weight of duty straining the hearts of both Boromir and Faramir. Eowyn’s heartbreak in Edoras.

The doomed love stories that are woven into Tolkien’s books—Turin, Finduilas, Gwindor, to name a few.

Heartbreak can be so many things—with love, with loss, with changes that shift our entire world. But heartbreak can also be in the small moments—for a child, a parent, a friend, a comrade. It can be momentary or span years. Or even lifetimes.

Will you break our hearts with your stories and art this time? Or will you find a way to heal the heartbreak and find the hope that can endure and persist?

We can’t wait to see what you do with this prompt!

Submissions are due May 31, 2026. Please send them to teitho.contest@gmail.com

    We post links to our sign-up form on all the usual platforms. You can then sign up as an artist, an author, a beta, a cheerleader, a pinch hitter, or as two or more of these. Please see the ‘Sign-ups’ section of the FAQ for more details on what these terms mean.

  • May

    3: Artist Sign-up Deadline

    9: Art Draft Due

    Participating art submissions must be sent to the mods by this date to be eligible for the Claims Gallery.

    10: Discord Server Opens

    Come hang out with your fellow participants!

    15: Art Previews Open

    Our online gallery of art prompts will be visible to signed-up participants only.  Signed-up authors can browse the artworks and see which pieces appeal to their muses!

    20: Author Signups Deadline

    23 (Saturday) 17:00 UTC: CLAIMS

    Authors submit a ranked list of the artworks they would like to claim to write fic for. Claims are on a first-come, first-served basis. One artwork will be allocated to each claiming author; the mods will email you to confirm which piece you have successfully claimed and how to get in touch with your artist. See the ‘Claims’ section of the FAQ for more information.

    What time is that for me?

    TBA – Additional Claims

    If any artworks are left unclaimed, we will hold one or more additional claiming rounds as needed. Generally, there will be 24 hours between rounds, but the timing is at the mods’ discretion. The additional round(s) will be announced to signed-up participants by email and on the TRSB Discord.

    31: Post-Claims Check-in

    The mods will email each artist/author pair to ensure that you have successfully established contact – even if you are not planning on a close collaboration, it is polite to check in with your partner, say hello, and make sure you’re both clear on must-haves and do-not-wants. One person from your pair must respond and confirm that you have done this!

  • June

    14: Free Rein Art Due

    We know some artists like to give their authors as much creative freedom as possible, and we have a dedicated collaboration option for this (see ‘Art Submissions’ FAQs). However, this means we require these artists to share the final art with their authors much earlier than artists who are prepared to be more involved.

  • July

    12: Check-in #2

    The mods will email each pair to ensure everything is on track. One person from your pair must respond – see ‘Check Ins’ in the FAQ.

    Artists must share the final art with their authors – but don’t post it yet!
    Don’t email it to the mods.

    16: Final Check-in (#3)

    Deadline to abandon your fic to a pinch hitter. There will be no penalty for dropping out on or before this date. This year we ask both collaborators to contact the mods at the final check-in.

    The mods will email all participants beforehand to ensure everything is still on track. We will ask you to confirm:

    • Whether the art is complete (Artists: did you share it with your author? Authors: have you seen the final art?)
    • Whether you have discussed posting logistics (ie, have you talked about how the art will be posted (embedded and/or posted separately to the collection), who will handle promo posting, any specific posting needs)

    26: Art Can Be Posted

    Artworks can be posted to your preferred platform on or after this date (but before they are due in the collection).  Hype your collab wherever you like and get the excitement going! Artists should ensure that their author has received a link to the art for embedding or linking in the finished fic as agreed upon before August 30th (deadline for posting the fic to the collection).

    30: Fic Due In Collection

    Authors should post their stories in our AO3 collection with the artwork embedded or linked. See the “Posting fic” section of our FAQ.

June challenge at tolkienshortfanworks posted

Here is the tolkienshortfanworks thematic prompt and formal challenge for June:



The thematic prompt is: cattle (or other domestic animals of similar kind like sheep or goats).



Cows are not particular prominent in Tolkien's Legendarium, but they clearly are being kept all over Middle-earth: in the Shire and beyond the Long Lake, in Rohan and in Gondor, for dairy or as draught animals. In the First Age, things are less clear, but there are scattered mentions in Tolkien's writings of cattle being kept by Men of the House of Beor and by the Sindar in Eastern Beleriand. (This last is in Nature of Middle-earth and has recently inspired some lovely art of Sindarin cowboys on Tumblr!)



And here is one famous example, from one of Bilbo's rhymes:



They also keep a hornéd cow

as proud as any queen;

But music turns her head like ale,

And makes her wave her tufted tail

and dance upon the green.



Here is an optional art prompt, from an English illuminated manuscript that shows a cow being milked while licking her calf.





The formal challenge is to write a bredlik poem.



If you have not heard about this, the original bredlik poem is this:

my name is Cow,

and wen its nite,

or wen the moon

is shiyning brite,

and all the men

haf gon to bed -

i stay up late.

i lik the bred.



It was apparently written in response to an incident on a re-enactment site, which is one of the reasons why the author adopted pseudo-archaic spelling.

If you can't imagine how to do the same kind of thing with a Legendarium setting, here is actuallyfeanor having a go at Silmarillion bredliks on AO3.





Although this month there is clearly a connection between the thematic prompt and the formal challenge, as always you can combine the thematic prompt and the formal challenge, but they can be filled entirely independently. You are also very welcome to combine your responses to either of them with other current challenges, such as the SWG Vintage challenge or Ekphrasis Week.

More details on the rules of the challenges (which are few) in the linked post at the community on Dreamwidth. 

New participants welcome!

AO3 Collection Revealed: ​November 26

"The Great Tales Never End: Essays in Memory of Christopher Tolkien"

Over more than four decades J.R.R. Tolkien’s son and literary executor, Christopher Tolkien, published some twenty-four volumes of his father’s work, much more than his father had succeeded in publishing during his own lifetime. Standing on the mountain of his son’s colossal publishing effort and extraordinary scholarship, readers today are therefore able to survey and understand the vastness of the landscape of Tolkien’s legendarium.

This collection of essays by world-renowned scholars, together with family reminiscences, sheds new light on J.R.R. Tolkien’s work, his son Christopher’s unique gifts in communicating and interpreting that work and the debt owed to Christopher by the many Tolkien scholars who were privileged to work with him. What was Tolkien’s intended ending for The Lord of the Rings? Did it leave echoes in the stripped-down version that was actually published?  What was the audience’s response to the first ever adaptation of The Lord of the Rings – a radio dramatization that has now been deleted forever from the BBC’s archives? What was the significance of the extraordinary array of doorways which confronted the hobbits as they journeyed through Middle-earth?

The book is illustrated with colour reproductions of J.R.R. Tolkien’s manuscripts, maps, drawings and letters and, with the kind permission of his estate, photographs of Christopher Tolkien and extracts from his works, some of which have never been seen before, making this volume essential reading for Tolkien scholars, readers and fans. The book includes essays by Maxime H. Pascal, Priscilla Tolkien, Vincent Ferré, Verlyn Flieger, John Garth, Wayne G. Hammond, Christina Scull, Carl F. Hostetter, Stuart D. Lee, Tom Shippey, and Brian Sibley.

Preorder your copy of The Great Tales Never End for £40.00 on the publisher's website. The book will be published in June 2022.

Tolkien Fanart Survey

Maria K. Alberto and Megan Abrahamson are working on a project related to race and Tolkien fanart and need your help taking a short anonymous survey about fan art that centers racially diverse depictions of Tolkien’s characters. The survey is open to Tolkien fans who:

  • are over 18 years of age
  • regularly see and interact with fan art through liking, commenting, and/or reblogging
  • are located anywhere in the world
  • Bonus: create Tolkien-inspired fan art!

Additionally, the researchers' main interest is Fingon the Valiant from The Silmarillion, particularly when portrayed as a Black elf in fan art. They are especially hoping to hear from Tolkien fan artists who depict this Fingon.

This survey has been reviewed and approved by the University of Utah Institutional Board.

Learn more about the survey and take it here or visit the project's tumblr here.

Tolkien Ekphrasis Week 2022

Ekphrasis: the description or interpretation of a piece of art, usually visual, in a different artistic medium.

Material culture and art add vibrancy to our lives, and it seems that there are so many options in Middle Earth ripe for interpretation! A poem on Nerdanel's statues, a tapestry capturing Nessa's dance, a prose fic describing the impact of seeing Númenor's frescoes, a painting exploring the beautiful quotidian architecture of a Hobbit hole…

This is a Tolkien-fandom-wide event dedicated to the art of ekphrasis in Tolkien's worlds. Its goal is to illuminate the artistic surroundings of the places, people, and stories we love, in as many media as possible. As such, fanworks are welcome to take almost any form: see the FAQ for the full list!

Prompts are currently being posted! Participants will have slightly more than a month to create whatever sort of art they like inspired by one or more of those prompts. Then, during the week(+) of June 10-June 17, everyone will post their fanwork on tumblr or this DW comm on the appropriate day (see calendar), or be revealed in the AO3 Collection.

The prompts are multi-part. The first part of the prompt is mandatory, describing the kind of art to be interpreted. The subsequent parts are optional thematic, formal, or visual add-ons that people may choose to incorporate or not.

For example: "Day N. Art form: Metalwork. Formal prompt (writing): Epistolary format. Formal prompt (visual art): Mixed media. Thematic prompt: Trade and cross-cultural connection."

If you miss the day, or are desperate to create work about some form of art not included in the prompts, don't worry! Posting amnesty/prompt free-for-all day will be June 17, and posting here and in the AO3 Collection will be open for a year from Day 1.

Tolkien Ekphrasis Week is open to all characters, genres, and ratings, and all Tolkien canons. This includes movieverse (i.e. the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies), fan-made films like Born of Hope, and game canons such as Lord of the Rings Online. It also includes Tolkien's non-Arda works, such as Roverandom. Crossovers between two or more Tolkien canons are welcome.

Tolkien Ekphrasis Week wants to be as inclusive as possible. As such:

  • All canons and versions of canon are equally welcome and encouraged to participate.
  • Fan creators of all levels of experience should feel more than welcome to join in the fun, whether they found out about LOTR last week or are Michelangelo, well-known JRRT fan.
  • All languages are welcomed, and works in languages other than English are actively encouraged.
  • All styles of art and all types of fic are permitted. Apart from following the Art Form content prompt for each day, there are no restrictions on genre, style, rating, or ship, although NSFW submissions will be kept 18+ locked on DW. There is one exception: no character bashing.

Above all, this event is supposed to get us thinking and feeling about art, which is for everyone. With this in mind, TEW asks participants to be respectful and inclusive at all times. In particular, TEW values its queer and trans participants and participants of color and will moderate as necessary to ensure that this event remains a welcoming space.

Please see the FAQ for full instructions on how to post and tag.

Calendar:

June 10-16, 2022: Prompts Posted Daily

June 18, 2022: Tumblr Queue begins posting tagged works.

June 9, 2023: AO3 Collection and DW community close to posting.

Aspec Arda Week 2022

Aspec Arda Week is a week-long Tumblr event to celebrate the interaction of the asexual and aromantic-spectrums and Tolkien’s Legendarium of Arda. Though these experiences are not explicit within Tolkien’s work, many fans across the a-spectrum see themselves in Arda, and we are here to appreciate any and all interpretation of characters, relationships, and events through an aspec lens.

Any content about the a-spectrum in Arda is welcome! You can create edits, gifs, fanart, fanfic, fanmixes, and more! This event will run from May 9-15, 2022! Please tag your posts with #aspecardaweek AND @ mention this blog @aspecardaweek so they can be easily found. If your submission turns into a long post, please put what you can beneath a “Keep reading” divider.

Below are some prompts for each day of the week. They are not mandatory, but they are here to inspire you. This page will lead to an explanation for each prompt. The first prompt is the “main” prompt, but this year we are also providing more open-ended secondary prompts.

DAY ONE: Asexuality || Discovery, Confusion, Education
DAY TWO: Aromanticism || Acceptance, Loneliness, Pride
DAY THREE: Across the A-Spectrum || Hope, Complexity, Diversity
DAY FOUR: Worldbuilding || Community, Change, Family
DAY FIVE: Relationships || Companionship, Intimacy, Queerplatonic
DAY SIX: Intersectionality || Connection, Relief, Friendship
DAY SEVEN: Freeform || Love, Vulnerability, Identity

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