Tolkien OC Week

A fandom event for OCs and underdeveloped characters in Tolkien's world!

This event celebrates both characters of Tolkien's world and our own characters that need more love, by creating and reblogging all kind of fanworks, like fanfiction, fanart, fanvideos, fancrafts, headcanons, playlists, edits, moodboards etc.

The event is modded by @yellow-faerie and @elamarth-calmagol, and will take place between 24th August - 30th August 2026 for the fifth year running.

NSFW text entries are allowed and we’ll tag them accordingly when we reblog them, but please put them behind a “read more”.

We'll also be tracking the tag #tolkienocweek during this week!

*******************************************

Event Schedule 2026:

1. Family (24th August)

Create a fanwork about a family member of a canon character. This could be a parent, a child, a spouse, or any other part of the family tree, either implied by canon or entirely original.

2. Friends (25th August)

Create a fanwork about someone in the vicinity of canon, such as friends, coworkers, servants, or acquaintances of a canon character. Or maybe choose someone overlooked by the characters: the ordinary soldiers, farmers, merchants, and artisans impacted by the events around them.

3. Enemies (26th August)

Share a character who is an enemy (or part of a group of enemies) of the main characters, such as a Dunlending, person from Rhun, or King's Men of Numenor.

4. Strangers (27th August)

Create a fanwork about someone from a group of people we don't learn about in canon, such as the petty dwarves, Avari, or people from Far Harad.

5. Spirits (28th August)

Share a character who is not an incarnate being, such as one of the Maiar, a vampire or werewolf, one of the Ainur who never came to Arda, or one of the lesser wraiths Gandalf refers to.

6. Ghosts (29th August)

Create a fanwork about someone who haunts the narrative without ever showing up in it, such as the first generation of elves or men, or whom Tolkien created and abandoned, such as Eriol the Mariner.

7. Freeform (30th August)

Repeat a prompt, or share a character that doesn’t fit any of the prompts!

Thanks to @hobbitwrangler for help with the prompts!

*******************************************

Since we want to celebrate creations about neglected characters all year long, the mods will occasionally reblog posts and fancreations about OCs and underdeveloped characters. If you would like to see your post on our blog, you're very welcome to tag #tolkienocweek. Since tumblr's tagging system is often being faulty, don't hesitate to message us, too!

We are looking forward to see and share all the awesome work you come up with!
