Elvish Poetry Contest!!! - Quenya

[Elennainie]

Calling all elves and elf friends! Aiya!

Are you an aspiring elvish poet? Do you like to write in the true language of the elves?

Then take a look!:

I'm trying to find out how many people would be interested in participating in a Quenya poetry contest. I'd need at least two judges (people who know Quenya well enough to read all the submissions), and people who like to write poetry in Quenya.


Please indicate any interest, in this thread. Thanks!

Wow, sounds like an excellent idea! If I knew a bit more Elvish, and if I was keen to learn it from basics, I might attempt it.. But not right now, as excellent as this idea is. :)
And I don't think we'll see much 'Elvish poetry spamming': most people either know so little (i.e. none at all) Quenya that..well, they'd know really little! :rolleyes:
Cian would be a marvelous judge: he's the Quenya scholar of the forum. Question is, is he willing?

[Elennainie]

Glad you like the idea, Lantarion, and sorry you won't be participating!

Cian sounds like a wonderful choice for a judge. I do hope he is interested! Hey Cian.... :D

Great idea!
Although judging by your Alqualonde poem, you will be a tough opponent.
Let's see who else is interested.

That's kind of you to say, gate7ole, but I probably won't be entering, if I run the competition - wouldn't be fair... ;) And I've seen your well-crafted Quenya, so you'll be a worthy opponent as well!

Great idea!
I never wrote any poem, but why not try it, right? :D
