My favourite thing about elves is that they do not celebrate the day of their birth, but the day their parents finally fucked, like it is such a rare thing for them to do, so it’s totally worth a huge party!

Hey silmarillion fandom, how is it going?

What’s the state of things?

Knock, knock! Who’s there?

✨Lathalea’s 2022 Sleepover coming soon! ✨

What?Yes, you’ve heard that right. I see a huge follower milestone on the horizon and I’m planning to throw a Tumblr celebration.

Why?If everything goes well, I will be starting another sleepover soon as a way of saying thank you for your support! And you know what this means, right? You’ll be able to get some tailor made fic goodies just for you!

That’s why I’m writing this post: let me know what you’d like to see this time: imagines? headcanons? open ask box? ask games? tarot requests? Canon x Reader ficlets? writer support? spotlight on your fics? - you name it!

How?Drop me a comment, DM me or send me an ask telling me what you’d like to see the most!

Great treasure hunt!!

I found yet another Devil’s Trap and this one - which is more elaborated - looks a lot more like those used on the earlier seasons of Supernatural (e.g. the one the Winchester boys used to hold Meg down on Season 1, if I’m not mistaken).

The awesome thing about this one, though, is the fact that it has Fëanorian Tengwar inscriptions on it.

How cool is this??

Maedhros | Silmarillion Writers’ Guild

April’s Character of the Month is Maedhros! To this point, Maedhros’s only biography on the site was created for the Seven in ‘07 event almost fifteen years ago. @heartofoshunhas taken on the formidable task of writing the biography of the SWG’s most popular character. The biography will be a two-part article, with the first part covering Maedhros’s early life and the various influences that shaped the leader he would become in Beleriand. You can read the first part of Oshun’s biography of Maedhros here: https://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/node/5455

The new Amazon Rings of Power series is on many of our minds. With the Super Bowl trailer drop, releases of a series of posters, and articles and teasers cropping up across the Tolkien fandom like mushrooms after a rain, the new series has become impossible to ignore. And for many existing Tolkien fans, they wonder: How will this new show shape the fandom communities that I love?

Over the next few months, Cultus Dispatches will look at this question by analyzing the impact of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film trilogies on the fandom. “Becoming Bookverse” is the first article in this series, in which @dawnfelagund uses Tolkien Fanfiction Survey data to make the case that, in the fic fandom, the films brought in fans in droves—and then they became fans and authors of fic based on the books.

You can read April’s column here: Becoming Bookverse: Jackson’s Films as an Initiation Point for Tolkien’s Book Fandom.

As part of this series, we are seeking to hear from fans who were part of the Tolkien fandom before one or both of the film trilogies. How do you think the fandom changed (or did it)? If you’d like to contribute a fandom memory, you can do so here.

Cultus Dispatches is always looking for contributors to our column about Tolkien fandom history and culture. Find out more about writing for this column here.

Were You a Part of the Tolkien Fandom Before the Films?

As the debut of the Amazon Rings of Power series approaches, many Tolkien fans are left wondering how the new show will impact the fandom they love. Over the next few months, our fandom history column Cultus Dispatches will tackle this question from various perspectives.

For one of our upcoming columns, we’d love to hear from you! Were you participating in the Tolkien fandom before either (or both) of the film trilogies took the world by storm? We’re looking for fans willing to share what this experience was like and how they saw the fandom change (or not!) at these pivotal moments in its history.

You can write as little or as much as you’d like. Responses will be published in an upcoming Cultus Dispatches column. You are of course welcome to remain anonymous if you prefer.

If you’d like to share your fandom experiences around the films, click here to access the response form.

Please signal boost! We are hoping to get responses from diverse corners of the Tolkien fandom.
