To the Silm fans on the flist

[oloriel]

Soo my calendar tells me that the Silmarillion was first published on September 15th, 1977.

Now if you check your calendars (even if they don't provide you with such wonderfully random information as mine does), you will likely find that it is a) September and b) 2007.

Now of course, this being Tolkien fandom, the 33rd would be more of a milestone than the 30th. Then again there aren't all that many Hobbits in the Silmarillion, so we can ignore them really. (But of course we can totally have a party in 2010 as well.)

What I am trying to say is: We should totally do something to celebrate the anniversary, shouldn't we?

The question would be, just what do we do? Mad drabbling sessions? Artspam? Lenghty entries on just why we love a lengthy, nebulous monster of a chronicle in which pretty much everyone dies? Quote-slams? Any ideas? Everyone who comes up with an idea just shares it somewhere, and whoever wants to can play along, and in the end we'll have a delightful chaos consisting of everything fandom is about*?

:D

Random information: the German equivalent of "to perk up one's ears" is die Ohren spitzen, which literally means "to make pointy ears", which I suppose fits a Silm!muse rather well...
