     "I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds, and hands, wielding paint and music and drama." -J.R.R.Tolkien Most authors dream of having their stories illustrated. - Linda Hoyland, fanfiction author We are a group that unites those who write fanfiction stories for the big and wonderful world of professor Tolkien, and those who draw or paint their visions of it. Our goal is to encourage artists to read and illustrate fanfiction, and collect such stories and illustrations. We closely collaborate with the fanfiction archives Naice a Nilme and The Silmarillion Writers' Guild and fanfiction contest Teitho OUR GALLERY FOLDERS:  fanfiction stories poems humorous and crack fanfics fanfiction illustrations - the picture should have a link to the story or at least its title in the artist's comments. We also accept illustrations for roleplays, the Black Book of Arda and for fan movies (Born of Hope and The Hunt for Gollum) Between the lines - here we accept pictures which themselves tell a story that is not in the books, or just hinted at, it doesn't have to have a link to a story (It can be an AU, original characters, or illustration of the characters before or after the events in the books/movies, a scene that was not showed but logically had to happen, etc.) Teitho pictures: Teitho is a monthly fanfiction challenge, which gives you a theme to write about. Here, we challenge you to take the same theme, and draw a picture for it. It doesn't have to feature Aragorn and/or Legolas, like the written entries do. Your best pictures will be featured at the Teitho site as well. B2MeM: Every year in March, the b2mem livejournal community organizes a Back to Middle-earth Month. This folder is for the entries created for it. (You can submit also entries from previous years)The rest of Arda: because I hate declining pictures... About slash and mature content: In both pictures and stories, mature content should be put under a filter, and comply with the dA policy:FAQ #220: What is Mature Content? and FAQ #565: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic imagery'; what do you consider this to be?. Slash stories should have a warning either in the title or author's comments - authors and readers should be respectful to each other and their preferences.Please, no Mary Sues in pictures or stories!SOME OTHER FANFICTION ARCHIVES WHERE YOU CAN LOOK FOR INSPIRATION: fanfiction.net - Lord of the Rings section and Silmarillion section Stories of Arda The Silmarillion Writers' Guild |

J.R.R. Tolkien was born 128 years ago, on January 3rd 1892 in Bloemfontein.
Together with the Tolkien Society, we invite you to celebrate the birthday of this much loved author by raising a glass at 9pm your local time (or when you can, it's past 9 here already, but I just put my dauhter to sleep).
The toast is simply: "To the Professor!", or if you prefer Quenya, "Alasse merendenna i Carmo!"
