TRSB Artist sign-ups still open
On this blessed holiday, I've finally submitted my arts for TRSB 2026.
My friends, gentlest of reminders to get your masterpieces in :D
(AAAAAND, the sign-ups are still open: Here's a nifty link to the mods' post on their page!)
If you're lazing around in the garden on this beautiful weekend, and an idea strikes you, you still have plenty of time to sign up and submit art!
(Which, yes, will be loved very much!)
Join the fun! It's not too late!
Head over to @tolkienrsb or the website for more information!
I'm just an enabler, not an influencer. Don't blame me for having too much fun over the summer if you end up following my siren call!
How to Join/ Cómo participar
We've shared how to join the FESTA as readers, but what about writers?
On May 1st, we want writers to submit their fics to the FESTA 🌱 Then, someone (or ones) in our commenting team will visit your fics and leave a comment 😉💚 But...how do you "submit"? Make a post like this!
🌷Do fics need to be "spring" themed?
No! Feel free to submit any fic, even if it doesn't fit the theme (who knows, it might fit New Bloom prompts 😉)
🌷Do I need to make a new fic?
Nope! Unless you want to. Our goal is to leave comments and interact with our community so no new fics required
🌷My fic already has a lot of comments, can I still submit it?
If you wish it could get a few more comments, then yes, definitely!
🌷How long should my fic submission be?
For accessibility, we recommend fics that fall somewhere in the 5k area, but longer fics and multi-fics are also welcome!
🌷Can I submit more than one fic?
Our team is on the small side so for now we can only guarantee ONE new comment on ONE fic PER creator. But you can def share more than one fic, we'll be sure to promo it 🤝 (Be sure to let us know which is your official submission, otherwise we'll make the choice)

Curiosos de cómo participar en la FESTA como escritores?
Empezando Mayo 1, queremos que los fic writers envíen sus fics a la FESTA 🌱Después, alguien en nuestro equipo de lectores (o unos cuantos) visitarán sus fics y dejarán un comentario 😉💚
🌷Los fics deben tener tema de "primavera"?
No! Envíennos cualquier fic, aun cuando no encaje con el tema (quién sabe, quizás encaje con los prompts de Nuevos Brotes 😉)
🌷Tengo que crear un nuevo fic?
No! Al menos de que quieran. Nuestro propósito es dejar comentarios en fics y crear conexiones con nuestra comunidad así que no es necesario crear nuevos fics
🌷Mi fic ya tiene muchos comentarios, todavía lo puedo enviar?
Si quieres que tenga más comentarios, entonces sí, adelante!
🌷Cuáles son los parámetros para los envíos?
Para accesibilidad recomendamos que los fics caigan en el rango de 5 mil palabras, pero también pueden ser más largos y tener múltiples capítulos!
🌷Puedo enviar más de un fic?
Nuestro equipo es pequeño así que por ahora solo podemos garantizar UN nuevo comentario en UN fic POR creador. Pero sí pueden compartir más de un fic, le haremos promoción 🤝 (Asegúrense de decir cual es su envió oficial, de lo contrario nosotros lo escogeremos)

May 2026 Theme
Leer en español
We're slowly releasing all of May's relevant information, and first up is our THEME!
Thank you for the awesome guesses as to what our theme might be over on Bluesky. We were excited to see people guess most of them (though we hope to still surprise you all with a few more FESTA details in the future) 🐝
📣 For May, our themes are: SPRING & FLOWERS!!
Not just because we'll host the FESTA in spring, but because we want to help our community and all fics BLOOM!!
We also have sub-themes RENEWAL & GROWTH, in part because it's spring, but also because May is Mental Health Awareness month!🌱
We will be sharing our bingo sheets in the coming days, but based on these 4 preview prompts, we'd like to remind everyone that prompts are up to interpretation!
For example, some interpretations by Crimson (our head mod) for share a "late bloomer" fic include:
a fic posted in late spring
a fic that has few comments or hits
a fic featuring a character who had a late growth spurt (be it physical or mental)
a fic where an oblivious character (after much obvious interest from their love interest) finally gets it
Have questions? Ask away!
With the release of our theme, we have now also updated our header image across all our SMS. Can you make a few more guesses relating to our May round?

What is Voiceteam? You could describe it as a fandom challenge, or as a creative competition, or as a series of friendship quests for podficcers. At its heart, Voiceteam is a fannish game for the podfic community with summer camp vibes. It takes place on Discord, where you’re grouped into teams of around a dozen players each. Across three week-long rounds in May, you can earn points for your team by making voice-based or voice-adjacent creations that fulfill different challenges. Each round begins with ten new challenges being revealed, and then teams are set loose to strategize, create, earn points, and have fun!
This is our seventh year running, and it's always a ton of fun! Click through to the linked post for a TON more info, and then, if it sounds like something you'd enjoy, you can sign up to play!
