Celrond Week 2025

"...and it was then that Elrond first saw Celebrían, and loved her, though he said nothing of it."

Announcing Celrond Week, a Tolkien fandom event celebrating the relationship between Celebrían of Lothlorien and her husband Elrond Peredhel, Lord of Imladris and Middle Earth’s favourite wifewise-guy. This event will run from October 20th — 26th 2025, and will feature three elements from which participants can pick and choose if and as they wish, or just go rogue!

A traditional “prompt list” — as seen in most fandom events, seven overarching themes and several literary/visual prompts within each one, to provide a spark of optional inspiration.

Bingo Challenges — a set of “bingo boards” that cater to those preferring to write sentence-fics, drabbles or shorter ficlets. These will be thematic, and feature short, or single-word, prompts that you collectively 'tick off' to reveal a 'prize' image underneath. Inspired by the @silmarillionwritersguild Potluck Bingo challenge.

Visual Prompts: for the artistically minded among us! These will include photo prompts, colour/mood boards, and even meme templates (Eg: “I bet Elrond is thinking about other elves…” Elrond: *thinking about taxation*) that you can take in whatever direction you see fit.

Prompts and boards will be shared on this blog across the next few weeks and in the run up to the event so do follow to keep updated, and the AO3 Collection will be linked here when live.

Happy Celronding!

TRSB25 IS COMING!

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!

Let’s create the next wave of Tolkien magic together, one brushstroke and one sentence at a time.��

See you in the Shire (or wherever your imagination takes you) TRSB Mod Team

Silvergifting week – List of Prompts 2025

Day 1 (August 4): First meetings

Either a canon version, or your wildest AU take. What happens next?

Day 2 (August 5): Romance

Them. In a relationship. As spicy or soft as you want them to be. Enjoy!

Day 3 (August 6): Tension

Emotional stress or conflict in their relationship. Perhaps it is mutual pining, or growing suspicion? Or perhaps they are rivals? You decide.

Day 4 (August 7): Threesomes

Them - and someone else. This prompt can be used either for romantic or gen relationships.

Day 5 (August 8): Hurt/comfort and angst

Silvergifting week would not be complete without a healthy dose of hurt/comfort and angst. Comfort is optional.

Day 6 (August 9): Rings of Power

Today's prompt can be used in two ways. It is either the Rings itself, or Silvergifting inspired by the RoP television series.

Day 7 (August 10): Second chances

They deserve that, don't they? Post-canon, new beginnings.

These prompts are totally optional, they are just for inspiration. Late entries are always welcome.

This year, we don't have a separate Alternative Universe | Canon divergence day. You can post AU content for any prompt.

Silvergifting week started as a Silmarillion fandom event, but the event also welcomes fanworks inspired by the Rings of Power television series. Those can be posted for every prompt, but day 6 is a special day in celebration for the tv series. The entries will be tagged #trop for those who want to curate their experience.

About the Feast of Horns Week

Hello! The Feast of Horns first started as a fun exchange of ideas on Discord between @cilil and myself. These ideas turned into a set of proper headcanons, and those, in turn, morphed into a week-long Tolkien themed event that first took place on the 16th to the 22nd of April, 2024. This year, the event is a three day mini-event that will take place during the 8th-10th August, 2025. The preliminary set of headcanon can be found here for you to go through. 

All sorts of fanworks are welcome, from drabbles, one-shots, multi-chapter fics, fan art, headcanon, moodboards and playlists.

Event masterlists: 2024
