TRSB: Pre-Gallery Opening Reminder

Hello, TRSB-ers!

The gallery will open for your perusal and delight on Friday afternoon (time TBC; it is dependent on mod availability).

We know this is a very exciting part of the event, and there is going to be a lot of chat and activity happening on various Tolkien platforms.  Some people will be high as kites, others may be very nervous.  With that in mind, could we please ask you all to…

1. Be kind.  You don’t know whose art is whose, or exactly who is hoping to write what.  You do not know everyone’s personal circumstances.  Think before you type/speak/post, especially in public or semi-public spaces, and consider how your words might sound if a creator overhears them.
2. Be respectful. Creators have a right to their headcanons and do-not-wants.  You are of course entitled to your personal views on these, but please see point 1 if you’re considering starting an open discussion about them.
3. Be inclusive and welcoming.  We have artists and writers of all experience levels taking part in this event, from complete beginners through to professionals.  Length of time in fandom and knowledge of different canons will also vary.  Keep conversations positive and encouraging; we do not gate-keep here.  

Participants, look out for the official mod email with the gallery link.  This will be sent to all participants, no matter what role you signed up in; however, as per our rules, do not share the link with anyone not taking part in the event.  

We hope you have a wonderful time viewing the art and that you all find something to inspire and delight.  If you have any questions or concerns, contact one of the mod team - @ettelene@gratuacuun@hauntedsiriel-blog@joyfullynervouscreator@lathaleaand@naryaflame.
