here at the end of all things

Serene and ghost Galen for the RotE Ladies Big Bang 2023 event. Prompt: Pulse

It’s almost time to go!

We are fast approaching April 1st and the beginning of our Rote Ladies Big Bang month! You may have started creating already, but if not, here are some pointers and prompts for you. Remember that while you’re welcome and encouraged to start working on your creations immediately, posting them starts on April 1st!

You are also perfectly welcome to use prompts from the lists for 2020 or 2022, found here!

WHAT NOW:

1. Choose one of the following:

A) Pick a prompt, or several, and get creating! There are 30 prompts, but you’re not expected to fill them all (although you can, if you wish!), or indeed any of them at all, they’re there just to help people with ideas. You can choose as many or as few as you like, or make several fills for the same prompt. See a prompt you like but someone already filled it? That’s fine, multiple fills are absolutely welcome!

B) Can’t pick a prompt? Message us and we’ll choose two for you!

C) Got ideas of your own? Run with them!

2. Create! Go wild!

3. Between April 1st and April 30th 2022, post your work on your preferred platform (Tumblr, Instagram, AO3…), and remember to post/link it here in Tumblr, too, under the tag #rote ladies big bang 2023 and/or #RLBB2023 for everyone else to admire and love!

4. Have fun! 💜

Here be the prompts (for those of you who want them):

As a reminder, there are only two rules:

No character hate! Not everyone likes every character and that is perfectly ok, but we ask you to keep any hate out of the tags. Instead we encourage you to redirect that energy into creating something for a character you do love!

Hello everyone!

It’s almost time for round three of RotE Ladies Big Bang, the Realm of the Elderlings fanworks event celebrating the various and glorious ladies in this series!

In May 2020, my friends and I talked about how much hate Molly and the other ladies in The Realm of the Elderlins get in some parts of the fandom, and how we found that incomprehensible because this series is just wall to wall full of gorgeous, multi-faceted and well-written female characters. As a result, RotE Ladies Big Bang 2020 was born, and we encourage everyone to take a look at the tag #rote ladies big bang 2020 or #rlbb2020 as well as #rote ladies big bang 2022 and #rlbb2022 because we have been blessed with lots of truly fantastic fanworks.

So once again, we’re proposing a Rote ladies appreciation month: 30 days of fanworks and meta starring the lovely female and female-presenting characters of the Realm of the Elderlings! The event is super casual: there’s no need to sign up, and you can contribute as much or as little as your time and energy levels allow - even if it’s just a sketch, we’d love to see it. 💜

This time we have two mods, and you are welcome to contact either @electropeach or @alloysius-g if you have any questions.

WHAT: RotE Ladies Big Bang 2023, 30 days of celebrating these amazing characters being badass and sweet and strong and vulnerable and everything inbetween

WHEN: You can start creating immediately or and keep going all through April, but posting for the event happens April 1st to April 30th 2023! This is a kick-off post; we will make another post with prompts shortly

WHY: Because complex and interesting female and female-presenting characters in fantasy literature deserve more love!

WHO: Anyone, everyone! Especially you!

HOW: Any way you wish. Fanart, fanfic, podcasts, podfics, meta, crafts, moodboards, scrapbooks, photo edits, gardening done like Patience would do it... Anything goes! Giving everyone else’s works some love is also a valid and extremely welcome way to participate. 💜 We’ll offer a set of prompts for those who want them, but there’s no need to use them!

There’s only two rules:

1. No character hate! Not everyone likes every character and that is perfectly ok, but we ask you to keep any hate out of the tags. Instead we encourage you to redirect that energy into creating something for a character you do love!

2. No AI created images. This fandom is full of wonderfully talented artists and we don’t support companies stealing their hard work.

for best experience you should fullview the images to tab through and listen to alan doyle’s “take us home” while reading!

Elrond: Alright, everyone listen up. We elves have 4 methods of dealing with Accursed Fucking Objects™, as demonstrated by my four parents. 

Number 1, the Elwing Method or Mom Method. This is to hide the accursed fucking thing away and keep it safe and close. This is highly not reccommended if the object can take over its user like the ring can, and Sauron will be searching for it, so this method is out of the question. 

Number 2, the Earendil Method or the Dad #1 Method. This is, send the accursed fucking thing across the sea or to some higher power. According to Mithrandir, the Valar will not take it and Tom Bombadil wants nothing to do with it, so this is also out of the question. 

Number 3 is the Maglor Method, or Dad #2 Method. This is to yeet the accursed fucking thing into the ocean. In this case, it is not a good idea as Ulmo will be very upset and we will still have to contend with Sauron. 

Main POVs of the Queen’s Thief 

Hello everyone! I’ve been MIA from a lot of fanworks spaces for a while, but with everything that’s going on in the world, I feel like it’s time for another round of RotE Ladies Big Bang. What’s that, you say? Only the second coolest event in the Realm of the Elderlings fandom (the first being, of course, the fantastic Winterfest gift exchange)!

In May 2020, my friends and I talked about how much hate Molly and the other ladies in The Realm of the Elderlins get in some parts of the fandom, and how we found that incomprehensible because this series is just wall to wall full of gorgeous, human female characters. RotE Ladies Big Bang 2020 was born as a result, and I encourage everyone to take a look at the tag #rote ladies big bang 2020 or #rlbb2020 because we were blessed with lots of truly fantastic fanworks.

Last spring I was too mired in real life business to do a repeat, but this year we’re back with vengeance! So once again, I’m proposing a Rote ladies appreciation month: 30 days of fanworks and meta starring the lovely female and female-presenting characters of the Realm of the Elderlings!

Last time I went into hosting an event without any prior knowledge of how to do so, and I continue to go into it absolutely clueless, so bear with me. As that implies, this is a super casual event: there’s no need to sign up, and you can contribute as much or as little as your time and energy levels allow - even if it’s just a sketch, we’d love to see it. 💜
