TRSB 2020 - Signups Open!

[narya_flame]

It’s a wee bit early but it’s getting late for the mods and we have to work tomorrow, so here goes...
 

Signups for the 2020 Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang are now open!

For those who don't know already, this is a Tolkien-fandom-wide event celebrating the talent of our fanwork creators. Participating artists create a piece of art to be claimed by one of our signed up authors. Authors will then write a 5k word fic based on the art they chose.

 

• Sign up as a writer here. Writer signups are open until May 22nd. (Use this form even if you are only intending to write treats, so we can give you access to the gallery!)
• Sign up as an artist here. Artist signups are open until May 10th.
• Sign up as a pinch-hitter here, or as a beta-reader here. Pinch-hitter and beta-reader signups will not close.
• Want to suggest a prompt to our artists? Our suggestions form will be open until May 15th.
• Want to see what others have already suggested and get hyped with us? Check out our handy spreadsheet.
• Questions? Take a look at our FAQs and 2020 schedule. If something isn't clear, please send us an Ask and we'll do our best to help!

 

We are open to all characters, genres and ratings, and all canons that fall under the Tolkien fandom umbrella. This includes movieverse (i.e. the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies), lesser known works by Tolkien (such as The Father Christmas Letters), and/or other works with a clear link to his life or creative output (for example, Tolkien's translations and academic texts, the 2019 Tolkien biopic, fan-made films like Born of Hope, and game canons such as Lord of the Rings Online). Crossovers between two or more Tolkien canons are permitted.

We hope you're as excited as we are! We can't wait to see all the beautiful artwork and read your amazing stories.
