Ori and Fíli both thought they would never see each other again. However, thanks to one best friend and the best brother ever, that isn't the case.

After years of not talking following their initial break up, they finally work it out the night of Gimli's stag do, thanks to Kíli's meddling.

What happens after is a second chance to begin anew, whilst making a memory, or two.

FFC art accusations

My name is Raya Golden and I manage the art direction and licensing development here at Fevre River working closely with GRRM as his schedule will allow. But I alone am responsible for approving all the licensed art that accompanies our SOI&F book driven materials.

Recently there have been accusations floating around that the Penguin Random House’s illustrated edition of A Feast For Crows was produced using AI generative art.

To our knowledge and as presented by the artist who completed the work in question there was NO such programing used. While he is a digital multimedia artist and relies on digital programing to complete his work, he has expressed unequivocally that no AI was used, and we believe him.

SO…

The official word from our office is, of course, that we DO NOT, never have and will not willingly work with A.I generative artists in any way shape or form.

THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE MINIONS OF FEVRE RIVER

A sickness lies over that gold. Something that transforms the greedy and preys on the souls who touch it.
Thorin is changing, physically, mentally, there is no denying that now.
He may be sick, but Bilbo can't blame the poor king. He has his own corruption to deal with.

Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thrain son of Thrór, King Under the Mountain, has gotten sick because of his stubborn belief that he was used to cold weather. The Lonely Mountain was no joke, not until the forges were lit. Still, even then, it was just not enough. Bilbo Baggins now has to suffer the consequences alongside his... whatever they were. Surely nothing could go wrong, right?

OR: Thorin is a fucking idiot who thinks he's gonna die from a small fever. Bilbo has to deal with this.

Bilbo confessed a fantasy to Thorin. One that involved getting kidnapped off his feet and whisked away to be used how his captor sees fit. Perhaps it is just a coincidence that Bilbo's schedule had been cleared for the day, and then again, perhaps Thorin had been listening very intently.

Bilbo Baggins after the Battle of Five Armies, and having no news of Thorin Oakenshield being alive he couldn't bear to stay somewhere that held painful memories, so he returned to the shire. He ends up taking in his nephew Frodo after his parents died, and selfishly for the fact the young hobbit reminded him of his late husband. When Thorin turns up at Bag End to beg for his husband to return to Erebor and sort out all of their misunderstandings, he is met with a young hobbit who looks like a perfect mix of both him and Bilbo.
When and how did he become a dad?
And how was he going to win Bilbo back?

[personal profile] dawn_felagund posting in [community profile] silwritersguild

On a recent review of new account registrations, the moderators discovered about 20% of them have never logged into their account after it was approved. This is typically not a problem; it's not a drain on our data or resources, and most of us have registered for a website before, with best intentions of using it, and then just didn't get around to it. It is an expected part of running a website like ours.

However, there have been a few recent instances where mods have had to contact new members regarding their account, and despite multiple attempts, do not receive a response. This is often paired with suspicious activity that led the mods to initiate contact in the first place. (Double registrations within minutes of each other from the same IP are a common example.) These accounts appear legitimate in every other way: the field where we ask people to share something about their interest in Tolkien (there to weed out bots) includes something legit-sounding about Tolkien or fanfic or both, and the username or email are Tolkien-related or -adjacent.

We deal with bot registrations regularly and have for the life of this site. Typically, bots go for quantity rather than quality and are therefore easy to spot and simply delete. However, the rising capability of AI tools means we are likely to see bot registrations that are harder to detect.

As a moderator team, we are absolutely okay with people registering and then never using their accounts. But we are not okay with harboring bot registrations, especially AI-assisted bot registrations. The SWG opposes the use of AI that harms fans and creators, and once approved, these accounts do have access to site features like leaving comments, sending messages to other members, and posting their own works, which makes them a risk to our members who are real people and using the site appropriately.

Given this, the mods propose the following change to our Site Etiquette and Terms of Service:

  • If six months pass and a new account is never logged into, we will contact that person using the email registered on the site to allow them to keep their account.
  • If we receive a reply, we will keep the account open. There is no obligation for the member to log into the account or use it or maintain any minimum level of activity.
  • If we don't hear a reply within two weeks, we will delete the account.
  • Note that this applies only to new accounts that have never been logged into. Once a person logs into their account, they can keep it forever and use it as much or as little as they like.

The moderators are looking for thoughts, concerns, and alternate ideas for how to manage this situation. Please feel free to comment here, use our Discord #town-hall channel, or email us at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org. We will leave the public comment period open until at least November 17.
