Signups for the 2022 Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang are now open!
For those who don’t know already, this is a Tolkien-fandom-wide event celebrating the talent of our fanwork creators. Participating artists create a piece of art to be claimed by one of our signed up authors. Authors will then write a 5k word fic based on the art they chose.
All sign up forms are available here!
As well as signing up as an author and/or artist, you can sign up as a beta, cheerleader, pinch hitter, or treat maker.
Explanations of what all of these mean can be found in the relevant section of our FAQ. Signups for these roles will not close and will get you access to the gallery; however, you must be signed up as an author to claim.
Want to suggest a prompt to our artists? Our suggestions form will be open until May 15th.
Want to see what others have already suggested and get hyped with us? Check out our handy spreadsheet.
Questions? Come and visit our website, which has our FAQs and timeline all set out.
Please be sure to familiarise yourself with the rules before signing up :)
We are open to all characters, genres and ratings, and all canons that fall under the Tolkien fandom umbrella. This includes movieverse (i.e. the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies), lesser known works by Tolkien (such as The Father Christmas Letters), and/or other works with a clear link to his life or creative output (for example, Tolkien’s translations and academic texts, the 2019 Tolkien biopic, fan-made films like Born of Hope, and game canons such as The Lord of the Rings Online). Crossovers between two or more Tolkien canons are permitted.
We hope you’re as excited as we are! We can’t wait to see what you make.
PS - for many of the mod team, April 15th and 18th are public holidays. As such, confirmation emails may be going out more slowly than usual. If you haven’t received confirmation of your sign up within 72 hours, feel free to send us an Ask or a follow-up email.
