 Which cards have people chosen?  Why?  Any clear plans yet on what you want to create this month?

Get excited in the comments!

After a tough 'narrow it down' process, I settled on the following:
Complexities of Celegorm
Echoes in the Water
Finwëion Friendship
First Age
Fun With Fëanorions
Lord & Lady of Imladris
Movie Quotes
The Sea
Second Age 2
Tengwar

Why...I came up with a shortlist of cards I felt confident would be inspiring (and that I liked looking at) and narrowed from there. They don't necessarily fit in with things I'm already working on, but they're not diametrically opposed, either.

As for plans... the plan is there is no plan. I'll go with whatever strikes me on the day.

So far, just Darkness, Darkness, and Cuiviénen but I may pick some others....

I probably would have picked Celegorm and other Fëanorions but he/they is not in any of the WIP’s I put on a back burner (or not yet anyhow) nor in the Cuiviénen one I have just started.

I ended up picking, out of a combination of dithering and spontaneity:
7. Apothecary Garden
32. Color Burst 3 - Yellow
38. Comment on a Fanwork
61. Echoes in the Water
114. Last Lines
115. The Late, Great Mary Oliver
127. Mary Oliver (1935-2009)
133. Mortal Women
186. Tengwar
192. Tolkien Quotes

I have no clear plans yet. Except that I'll be going with any prompt that inspires me, whether it happens to be on a card I picked or not. For example if someone else's fill gives me an idea what else one could do with the prompt!
But I like these cards.
And maybe after March, I'll know my tengwar!

Might as well stick my own on here too, although I've discussed them on Discord and my own journal already!

Complexities of Celegorm
Glorfindel
Here We Come A-Caroling
Horror
Injuries & Other Ailments
In the Words of Shakespeare
Maglor Through History
Mary Oliver (1935 - 2019)
Setting as Character
Worldbuilding

Like many others, no plan yet; I will see what inspires on the day!

It took me a while to figure out which ones would be most likely to spark something out of the cards that interested me most, but I wound up with

Archetypes
Cliches, Fluff and TLC
Comment on a Fanwork
Cuivienen
F/F Potpourri (okay, that card was merciless indulgence when I made it, so...)
Four Words
G is for Girl (I ♥ whoever made this!)
The Late, Great Mary Oliver
Person vs. Nature
Textual Ghosts 2 (!!!! ♥)

I may grab other cards to supplement those because some were hard to kick out, but mostly I'm hoping to femslash-drabble with these, with the odd misc. thing here and there. ^^

I went with the following:
Botany (because yay for plant-based prompts!)
Person vs. Nature (because these things always make for nice plots, especially in Middle-Earth)
Smells (such a cool concept!)
Movie Quotes (these sound good for the more humorous side of things)
Five Books, Five Characters (it's always nice to give some new characters (and some old ones) a try and they might be helpful if I'm not sure who to write about)
Color Burst Red (it's nice to have some varied prompts in there)
Horror (these sound fun, so I couldn't resist, even though they might turn out to be challenging)
Tengwar (I'm looking forward to practicing my Tengwar a bit, even though my handwriting could probably be better...)

I don't have any set plans and will just see where these take me. It's possible that I'll be in over my head (I don't have much experience in writing horror, for example) and I have no idea how doable this amount of cards is, but I'm looking forward to giving it a try! :)
