It's okay to 'grieve' things that aren't just death. I've allowed myself to grieve a friendship ending, a situationship, losing something important to me, etc. It's okay to give yourself time to process the loss of something. Grief looks different for everyone, try to find a way that works for you to help make it easier for you.

I love when fanfic authors are freakishly unhinged. "Yes, hello, I am here to write a heart wrenching story about relationships and mortality. My medium is Ducktales (2017)"

Are you ready for another hot Tolkien summer? The Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2025 is almost here, and we couldn't be more excited to announce that this event is going to be epic! 

What is the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang, you ask? It's a celebration of all things Tolkien, where artists and writers come together to craft something magical! In this event, artists create stunning artwork from all mediums (yes, unconventional mediums such as needlepoint, food, and even interpretive dance are welcome!), and writers bring the art to life through print! Writers will have the chance to inspire and be inspired by new art, opening the doors to fresh, creative collaborations and endless possibilities.

Whether you're an artist, writer, or simply an enthusiastic cheerleader, this is your chance to join the ultimate summer celebration of J.R.R. Tolkien’s world through fan art and fan fiction. 

Here’s what you need to know:

🖋️ Writers: Watch our Tumblr page and Website for information regarding possible art/fic prompts.

🎨 Artists: Start thinking and creating!

🕒 Timeline: We’ll kick things off officially on March 22, 2025, with the opening of our prompt suggestion form. The official signups will open on April 12th. 

It’s time to reimagine Middle-earth with our creations, whether you’re wandering through the Shire, slaying your kin at Alqualondë, or just discovering forgotten realms of the Tolkien universe.

Ready to Join?

Keep your eyes peeled for the suggestion and signup forms coming soon, and don’t forget to tell your fellow Tolkien fans — we want to make this year’s event the biggest one yet!
