Silmarillion Writers' Guild

This coming Saturday, June 22, we will be instadrabbling on our Discord. All are welcome to join us! I will be online to start at 9 AM EST (2 PM GMT), but if folks are online and want to start before then, feel free!

If you need to join our Discord, this link should do the trick!

What is instadrabbling? Instadrabbling has been happening in the Tolkienfic fandom for at least 15 years. It involves gathering in real time to write flash fiction together. Traditionally, participants use four words as a prompt, chosen at random by one of the participants from the book nearest to hand. Traditionally, participants each create a drabble (exactly 100 words) using those four words. Everyone posts their work for a prompt set and oohs and aahs and celebrates and squees.

On the SWG, we are not as bound to tradition. What matters is getting together to create, share, and celebrate our fanworks in real time. All types of fanwork are welcome, so if you want to make art or a playlist or aren't quite up for disciplining your writing to exactly 100 words, you're still welcome! There is a NSFW channel if adult-oriented fanworks are your speed. The only requirement is that fanworks shared be Tolkien-based.

Please feel free to signal boost to others who enjoy Tolkien fanfiction but might miss this message.
