The Snowflake Fandom Challenge, Day six
Jan. 6th, 2013 08:59 amI seem to be jumping around a bit with this Challenge. I do a couple days and then skip a couple. Anyway, here's today's:
Day 6
In your own space, pimp three comms or challenges and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
The first one no longer exists but I feel I should mention it because it's where I first started writing on a regular basis. Prior to this challenge group, I was just bumbling along and making attempts here and there. Once I got involved with this group, I started writing more often and I got more practical experience and began to feel more at ease about writing. Another thing that happened was, I discovered a whole new group of friends on line and some wonderful authors. The group that used to write for this challenge contained some pretty amazing authors. I really miss this Challenge group!
The group was called 'Margold's Challenge' and every month, there was a new challenge or prompt to inspire folks to write. The group was run by by marigoldg and it was a very active Challenge group. During the last year or so of the group, llinos, became the co-mod for the Challenges. The link below will take you to the challenge story listing and along you to look around if you like. Even though the group is no longer up and running, the stories are still posted to the community. The group was a Lord of the Rings group and all stories had to include a hobbit in them. You could write about other races within Middle earth but you had to have one hobbit in there somewhere.

This was the first group that I joined on line and even though it hasn't been active in years, I still miss it.

Another group I enjoy does an annual event called "Back to Middle earth month" or b2mem
They run an event for a full month with organized challenges that encourage people to write using Tolkien's characters and the lands of Middle earth. If I am not mistaken, I believe the group is run by Silmarillion Writers' Guild and that they have been assisted by other coms and groups over the years. ( If someone else is the primary organizing group for this challenge, please correct me. I have only participated in this event once and so I may not have all the information.) This event takes place during the month of March in honour of Frodo's destruction of the One Ring. The link below will take you to last year's challenge site, which explains things more fully. I hope they plan to hold the event again this year because they do such creative things with their challenges.

They have not posted a new challenge in a while and so I don't know if they are still active at this point. If not, the stories posted to their site are well worth a look. They have held some very inventive challenges and have postings from a large group of writers. The mods their were very encouraging and helpful. It was a friendly, supportive, group.
