The LOTR General Fiction Challenge Community, lotr_community would like to announce its June Challenge. The theme will be Father's Day, and the element will be a quotation from canon. To receive your element, either email the mods: virginia_lee_redcat@yahoo.com or aelfwina@gmail.com or comment on the post. If it matters to you, indicate whether you wish to write Hobbits, Elves, Men or Dwarves.

The community will be moderated, so that you may post your stories directly at the community. The deadline will be Friday, June 14, and the posts will be unlocked and revealed on Monday, June 16.

The LOTR Community Gen-Fic Group's new monthly Challenge Stories were posted today! We'd love to have you all stop over and take a look! If you do, please leave the authors some FB, if you would. That will certainly help everyone to stay motivated and keep contributing. As all of us who write are aware, just a quick "I liked it" is so encouraging to hear.
Thank you!

The Community Group's Bunny Burrow needs some help in getting its members active and excited about what we do again! Please come over and check out our site. This is a sister group with the purpose of providing a place for authors and readers to post story requests, wish lists, ideas, plot bunnies, create brainstorming partnerships,discuss character development, chat about LOTR tales, etc, etc, etc!!!
Basically, anything related to creating great Fanfic!

So, if you have an idea you've been dying to discuss with like-minded folks, a story you yearn to see written, a collection of plotbunnies you'd love to share, questions about LOTR lore, inquiries about how to write elvish, confused over where in ME is Michel Delving, want to talk about impressions from the books or movies......well, I think you get the idea! This group welcomes all of that. You are also welcome to post portions of, *or* entire stories or works in progress (with appropriate warnings if needed!) for comments, discussions, or help with writing.

We include all LOTR genres and ratings, so if you want to discuss any type of fic, any ratings, please join us and help us get our fledgling little community moving in the direction we intended!

Some wonderfully prolific people have been regularly posting their story requests and bunnies there already. You will also find some bunnies that came from Shirebound's most excellent site, that have been reposted there with her permission.
Thanks!

We'd like to invite more people to come join us! We are a friendly, supportive group of fanfic writers and readers. We're also about to launch our new challenge site on LJ, which will host monthly, personalised challenge stories. We hope you stop over and check out what we have to offer! More info soon on the Challenge Site. The first stories are due to post on the second weekend of May!
