Admin Post: Classic B2MeM prompts

hhimringLink to Arofili's Tumblr post on past B2MeM prompts, with additions:
https://www.tumblr.com/hhimring/810201509831884800/where-can-you-find-the-prompts-for-back-to-middle
There is some overlap with the Spring of Arda's earlier "official" Google Doc, but this version may be more helpful in some cases.

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.
