Tolkien South Asian Week is 2 weeks away!

It’s running from June 13th to June 19th, 2022.

This week is to celebrate South Asian peoples, cultures and lives through Tolkien’s Legendarium. I started my Everyone in Middle-Earth is Brown series two years ago to imagine Tolkien characters as people like me. TSAW stemmed from that and aims to diversify and enrich high fantasy, Tolkien’s literary works and fandom.

Guidelines:

• Tag your entries with #tsaw22andmention me@arwenindomiel;
• Everyone is free to participate, you don’t have to be South Asian;
• All creations should be Safe for Work so nothing explicit;
• Creations of all kinds are welcome: graphics, art, fic, meta etc;
• Bigotry will not be tolerated (non-exhaustive list here).

The non-madatory prompts:

• DAY 1: Ainur  | Monochrome/one colour | Avari | Etymology
• DAY 2: Elves  | Minimalism | Balrogs |  Tragic hero/heroine
• DAY 3:  Dwarves  | Faceless |  Laiquendi  | Foreshadowing
• DAY 4: Men  | Portraits |  Blue Wizards | Symbolism
• DAY 5:  Nazgúl  | Typography | Firebeards | Foils
• DAY 6:  Hobbits  | Motifs  | Dunlendings | Subplots
• DAY 7:  Freeform  | Colours abound  |  Unnamed characters  | Alternate Universes
