Many Branches

There are groves of fandoms out there, each one filled with branches whispering stories, your stories. SL introduces Many Branches, where we’ll capture those stories and tell them throughout the pages of the journal. For Issue 2, we continue to focus on how you’ve been Inspired by Tolkien. His work has inspired people to do many things: write, paint, sculpt, help the environment, help others and even help themselves. Have you been inspired by Tolkien’s work, or by his life? Tell us how! Submit your answer (maximum 50 words) on our forum or by emailing us with “Many Branches” in the subject line.
