I am thrilled to announce that the Silmarillion Writers' Guild website has reopened after migrating to our new software! You can still find us at silmarillionwritersguild.org, and we always welcome new members.
In 2019, an upgrade on our web server through our aging archive software into disarray. Faced with the choice of rebuilding the site with new software or watching our site slowly die, as our software became increasingly obsolete, we chose to rebuild. And here we are now, with a new site that we hope will offer new and better features than our old archive.
We also hope to expand the site, especially to different types of fanworks. We've started by creating parity between written fanworks and audio fanworks and series, which were treated differently on our old site. We'll be adding other types of fanworks in the months to come.
This is an important turning point for the SWG, and we're elated to have made it this far! Watch this space for the announcement of an official ribbon-cutting event in the next couple of weeks!

Date: 2021-04-09 06:32 pm (UTC)The stance on equity is new work for us. While it has been a part of our more nebulous value system as a group for a long time, we felt it was time to "make it official," so to speak. All that to say that we are very open to feedback as to how we are doing in this regard because, as equity work always is, it is both a work-in-progress and a learning experience for us.

The page says: "LogicException: An anonymous user must be identified by session ID. in Drupal\flag\FlagService->getAllEntityFlaggings() (line 176 of modules/flag/src/FlagService.php)."

Date: 2021-04-30 11:28 pm (UTC)edit: it seems like sometimes when I enter https://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/ it forwards to https://silmarillionwritersguild.org/silmarillionwritersguild/index.php (which gives the failure message) and sometimes it doesn't (and looks OK). Bizarre behavior.
