Admin Post: B2MeM announcements for 2026

[hhimring]

The Spring into Arda team has announced their plans for B2MeM and the 20th anniversary celebrations here:
https://www.tumblr.com/spring-into-arda/807326145857126400/b2mem-20th-anniversary

To summarize:
The plan is for:
1)
a regular or "classic" event in March that will involve revisiting earlier prompts, with Bingo numbers being called on Tumblr for anyone revisiting Bingo challenges;
2)
a year-long project to encourage each other to update Fanlore entries in the Tolkien fandom, with invitations to track progress and claim rewards (Project Pengolodh);
3)
a virtual convention to be held on Discord on 27-29 March (Fellowship Fest).

More details in the linked Tumblr entry and the Google documents linked there in turn.
There is also an invitation to volunteer for roles in the Fellowship Fest.

If I manage to write anything for B2MeM 2026, where wouold be the best place to post or share it?

You can post it to Tumblr, I think, if you have a Tumblr account.
I think they probably meant to have a subcollection on AO3 also, but I can't spot it yet. I have just asked the team.

Thanks! I don't have a Tumblr account, though maybe I should make one. I will keep an eye out for the Ao3 subcollection!

The team alerted me that they have now created the AO3 subcollection.
