Tolkien Fandom Event Calendar
Recently I’ve received some asks about events/weeks in the Tolkien fandom, so I thought I’d compile a list of those that I know about. This is not exhaustive, and dates are subject to change by the organizers of these events!
Other blogs you can check out are @tolkieneventsblog and @tolkienfandomevents, though I’m not sure how active those are. The @silmarillionwritersguild Discord also has a channel dedicated to signal boosts for all sorts of Tolkien-related & general fandom happenings, which is another excellent way to keep up with fandom goings-on.
Want to run your own event? Here’s some of my tips!
If your event is not on here and you’d like it to be, let me know and I can add it :) Note: I will only add events that have announced dates!

List of Speak Now TV-related Easter eggs Taylor has dropped recently (just drop it already ffs)
NB: I'm only including hints that are obvious and don't require mental gymnastics. Your mileage might vary, of course.
27 February 2020: The Man music video is released, with the iconic graffitied wall showing Speak Now coming after Red.
26 October 2020: Taylor posts this TikTok.
I really think this is a really obvious hint, but nobody ever seems to talk about it... anyways notice how the colours of the garments she points at go purple > blue > green > black?
9 November 2021: Red (Taylor's Version) signed CDs go on sale. On her website, the price $20.10 is written in purple.
12 November 2021: "Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours."
13 December 2021: Taylor turns 32. Her AMA award for Speak Now can be seen in this photo she posts.
20 January 2021: Taylor is named 2022 Record Store Day Ambassador. The logo uses purple text and we lose our minds.
5 May 2022: Taylor Nation drops Speak Now (and 1989) merch for some reason.
Apparently, this was to show the Speak Now trademark was still being used, but I'm still putting it here.
21 October 2022: Anti-Hero music video released.
The koi fish guitar from the Speak Now World Tour makes an appearance.
Also, in the official YouTube video for the TSAntiHeroChallenge thing, she wears the purple dress from the Speak Now tour.
25 October 2022: Bejeweled music video released.
This day is the 12th anniversary of Speak Now.
Enchanted plays at the beginning.
Laura Dern says "Speak not".
Taylor presses the 3 button in the elevator, which is coloured purple.
The 13 button and the 13th indicator light (representing the album after Midnights) are also purple.
Taylor's hairpin says "SN".
Koi fish appears in the windows of the castle.
Long Live plays at the end.
1 November 2022: "I'm enchanted to announce my next tour..."
27 January 2023: Lavender Haze music video released.
The koi fish appears again.
29 January 2023: The official Taylor Swift 2024 calendar is shown on the publisher's website. It features photos from the Speak Now tour.
The cover picture is the same one used in the Eras Tour to represent the Speak Now era.
It will be available for purchase on July 20th.
17 March 2023: Taylor drops If This Was A Movie (TV), which was a deluxe track on Speak Now, and Safe & Sound and Eyes Open (TV), which were first performed live on the Speak Now tour.
9 April 2023: Photos from the set of a music video being filmed in Liverpool are leaked. The Speak Now tour flying balcony and piano can be seen.
13 April 2023: Taylor says that "recently one of my albums has been on my mind a lot" before performing Speak Now.
1 May 2023: Taylor posts this. The purple heart speaks for itself.
5 May 2023: WE WON. WE FINALLY WON.

Czech Calendar Customs Master Post
I’m an American who has always been fascinated with family history. The most recent arrivals in my family from the old world were my Great-Grandparents who emigrated from Běhařovice, a small village in Southern Moravia, Perhaps it is because they are my most recent connection to Europe that I’m pulled so strongly toward their traditions. In this post I’ll provide links to my posts documenting my attempts to integrate Czech calendar customs into my practice, as well as other resources. In 2023 I plan on doing more detailed articles and will add them to this article. I am in no way an expert on the customs of Czechia, just a descendant attempting to connect with my ancestors.

Hi! I’m getting into Thunderbirds fics and was thinking about writing some myself. I saw that you ran a challenge at one point and was wondering if there was any event calendar the fandom is using. Or are there any events at all? I wasn’t sure where to find any.
Hi and welcome to the Thunderfam! :D
There is no strict calendar, but a few events do recur at will.
At the moment we are in the middle of Fanart Appreciation Month, which has occurred in January the previous two years as well. The idea being to reblog lots of artworks to give our artists some recognition.
February has been Fab Five Feb in 2019 and 2020, but was missed last year. I haven't done the call out as to whether the Thunderfam want that one this year yet. It is usually a six week challenge with a focus on the five brothers plus another character which changes each year.
Some time in March/April there might be a Easter gift fic event.
Somewhere between April and August there is sometimes a random challenge event. There was nothing last year, but in previous years there has been Sensory Sunday , Earth & Sky Week and an Olympics challenge.
We also celebrate each of the Tracy boys' birthdays - Gordon 14 Feb, Alan 12 March, Scott 4 July (?), Virgil 15 August (always a big one for me :D ) and John in October. Other cast members also get birthday celebrations at various times of the year.
September and October are usually taken up by external challenges like Sicktember and Whumptober.
We did have a Thunderfam November event - Fluffember - but last year an external event was picked up so Fluffember didn't run, but it did run 2019, 2020 and 2021.
December is left to Tag Team Secret Santa.
There have also been random other events over the past few years and I have no doubt there were others before I joined the fandom in 2018. Due to the sudden rise of Covid in 2020 we started International Rescue & Relief, a fluff prompt challenge which is technically still going, but I haven't mentioned it for ages.
Plus there are always writing prompts or question lists flying around that get picked up by whoever wants to play.
Thunderfam, if I have forgotten anything, please chime in. It is late here and my brain is usually pretty unreliable.
Anyways, welcome, thank you for asking. I hope you have fun in thunderfam :D
Nutty
(so do you have a favourite Tracy brother? :D )

Oh damn I'm also due Jan 1, I don't want my kid to share a birthday with a Duggar. How many days are left in the calendar that are not yet Duggar birthdays or anniversaries?
Info, Please!: How Many Calendar Days Don't Have A Duggar / Bates Birthday or Anniversary?
I'm pretty sure I've done a Post on this before, but not for a very long time! Anon, I know you only asked about the Duggars, but I'm going to include the Bateses too, since I know I'll get follow–up Asks!
There are quite a few "free" days, without a Duggar / Bates Birthday or Anniversary. (More than I would've expected!) Here is the full list of "Free" Days, as of November 17, 2022—

I just wanted to say thank you for running this event for the past few years. It was what got me into this fandom and once I started writing one of my favourite events to participate in.
Thank you so much <3333
Thank you for your kind words 🥺
And to think this event was what got you into Maribat! 🥺 Very honored to know that this event got you to write for the fandom QuQ
When I first thought of wanting to start this event, I think I was just getting into Maribat myself, having a few fics out on A03 and seeing new tropes emerge in the fandom. And out of the tropes, I started to love the bio!dad trope, becoming a sucker for the damn trope and noticed there wasn't enough!
And I thought, oh, maybe I should write for it! And I did! But then I thought, should I start an event for it?
At this time, Maribat March, Angst April (or I think that was what it was called) and Daminette December were the major events and when I thought about those events... I became skeptical of myself.
Because I didn't have a large following like those blogs...I wasn't well known as other writers/artists in the fandom..
I remember asking the Maribat Insanity server if I should even do an event because...did anyone else like the trope?? After all, there were so little works...
And my god...the amount of support I got and the amount of people who encouraged me to give it a try...
So I gave it a shot.
I made an interest form May 2020 and by June 2020, the first calendar of the event was post and on September 2020, the event launched.
And so many people participated, writing fics on Tumblr, linking their works from A03, making art...
In 2021, people still participated and even extended the trope from Bruce being Mari's bio dad to other characters like Luka and Kagami.
In 2022 and 2023, not many people participated but I still hosted it because people were excited to create works for the fandom.
And I think...I think that is why I still hosted the event for the past four years...
The Maribat community was the first crossover community I dared to join after a friend introduced me to it and honestly was one of the most welcoming, most creative communities I've been a part of and a community I will always hold dearly to my heart.
They inspired me to write, to grow as a writer, as a person and knowing this event introduced you to this community and helped you start your journey as a fellow writer... it really means a lot and once again shows how the community just continues to inspire...
So again...thank you, from the bottom of my heart <3 and I'm happy you enjoyed writing for this event <3
Thank you.

FAQs About The California Employee Retention Credit
California employers are encouraged to take advantage of the California Employee Retention Credit before it expires. But what is this tax credit? Who qualifies? Is ERC taxable in California? In this article, Dominion Enterprise Services’ CPA Skyler Kressin breaks down the ERC and how it can benefit your business.
Like many business owners, California employers were subjected to extreme challenges during 2020 and 2021 and even extending into 2022. Business operations often were fully or partially suspended due to state or local health orders, revenue swings occurred unexpectedly, labor shortages abounded, and the unknowns related to global economic conditions created a difficult environment for businesses of all stripes due to COVID-19.
In the midst of these difficult times, various federal programs were created to mitigate these challenges, including the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act. Each of these had provisions for relief, such as advance payment programs or forgivable business loans such as the Payment Protection Program (PPP loan).
While many businesses took advantage of these relief provisions, the sheer volume of legislation signed into law in the last several years has resulted in some of the key relief provisions for employers to be overlooked in the effort to keep the lights on and business flowing.
One such relief provision that consistently has been overlooked was created specifically for employers who continued to pay wages and federal employment taxes throughout the official “pandemic period” (March 12, 2020, through the third quarter of 2021) in the form of an employer tax credit, officially called the Employee Retention Credit (ERC).
The good news is, for California employers specifically, this federal tax credit may be much easier to obtain than for those who own and operate businesses in other states, due to how eligibility works.
High-level Features of the ERC for California Employers:
• The credit is up to $26,000 per employee for a fully eligible employer.
• The credit is a federal refundable tax credit, meaning you can claim a refund directly in the form of a check from the IRS, and the ERC is NOT a loan or grant through a bank like the PPP.
• That said, the other relief programs, (such as the PPP) do interact with the ERC but importantly, do NOT make you ineligible for the ERC as was previously widely believed – even those who received both rounds of PPP funding are still potentially eligible for the ERC.
• The claim is made through federal payroll tax filings and entails tax calculations customarily performed by tax professionals.
• The eligible filing period for the ERC begins to expire in April 2023 as the statute of limitations for refunds begins to sunset.
Who is Eligible for the ERC?
Eligibility for the ERC is determined on a calendar quarter basis (corresponding to each federal filing period) and can be achieved in one of two ways:
1. Gross Receipts Test
Employers must show a specified percentage decline in gross receipts, quarter-over-quarter when comparing a given quarter in 2019 to the same quarter in 2020 or 2021. For example, the quarter ending December 31, 2019, compared to the quarter ending December 31, 2020, must show a specific percentage decline. Specifically, 2020 needs to show a decline of 50% in at least one quarter, and 2021 needs to show a decline of 20% in at least one quarter – BOTH compared to the equivalent quarters in 2019.
2. Trade or Business Operations Disruption Test
This test is where there may be advantages for the California Employee Retention Credit as opposed to the relative eligibility in other states. Eligibility under this test all hinges on whether direct state or local government orders restricted business operations for employers during the pandemic period. California was one of the more restrictive jurisdictions as compared to other U.S. states and localities, so ERC eligibility is more likely to be achieved for California employers than in other jurisdictions.
As with all federal legislation and tax law, there are nuances and fine print to the above eligibility tests that go beyond the scope of this article and edge cases that require parsing through grey areas. This is where working with a qualified and licensed tax professional who specializes in tax credits comes into play. Many who are otherwise eligible for the ERC may be leaving money on the table, or otherwise working off an incomplete assessment of the full scope of their eligibility.
Is ERC Taxable in California?
Another benefit of the ERC is that, in general, it is not taxable on your California income tax return, as per FTB Publication 1001. That said, given it is a federal credit, it does directly impact your federal income tax filing and may result in the need to modify your federal income tax filing.

If so, the significant decline ends with that quarter or the first quarter of 2021.
Otherwise, it will continue until such an increase is seen.

Methods for Calculating the Employee Retention Credit
In order to help businesses recover from the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic, the government has created a tax credit known as the Employee Retention Credit (ERC). In order to survive and recover from the economic depression caused by the epidemic, the ERC provides considerable subsidies to qualifying enterprises that retain employment. This piece will describe how Employee Retention Credit works, along with its prerequisites and advantages.
What is the Employee Retention Credit?
The Employee Retention Credit is a tax credit that allows eligible businesses to offset a portion of their payroll taxes against their tax liability. The ERC helps businesses retain employees during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing them with a financial incentive to keep their staff on the payroll. Cares Act, in March 2020, introduced the ERC.
Who is eligible for the Employee Retention Credit?
Businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic may be eligible for the Employee Retention Credit. Eligible businesses include those that:
Had to fully or partially suspend their operations due to a government order related to COVID-19, OR
Have experienced a significant decline in gross receipts (at least 20%) compared to the same calendar quarter in 2019.
How much is the Employee Retention Credit worth?
The Employee Retention Credit is worth up to 70% of eligible wages paid to each employee, up to a maximum of $10,000 per employee per quarter. Besides, you can also claim the credit for wages paid between March 13, 2020, and December 31, 2021.

FAQs About The California Employee Retention Credit
California employers are encouraged to take advantage of the California Employee Retention Credit before it expires. But what is this tax credit? Who qualifies? Is ERC taxable in California? In this article, Dominion Enterprise Services’ CPA Skyler Kressin breaks down the ERC and how it can benefit your business.
Like many business owners, California employers were subjected to extreme challenges during 2020 and 2021 and even extending into 2022. Business operations often were fully or partially suspended due to state or local health orders, revenue swings occurred unexpectedly, labor shortages abounded, and the unknowns related to global economic conditions created a difficult environment for businesses of all stripes due to COVID-19.
In the midst of these difficult times, various federal programs were created to mitigate these challenges, including the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act. Each of these had provisions for relief, such as advance payment programs or forgivable business loans such as the Payment Protection Program (PPP loan).
While many businesses took advantage of these relief provisions, the sheer volume of legislation signed into law in the last several years has resulted in some of the key relief provisions for employers to be overlooked in the effort to keep the lights on and business flowing.
One such relief provision that consistently has been overlooked was created specifically for employers who continued to pay wages and federal employment taxes throughout the official “pandemic period” (March 12, 2020, through the third quarter of 2021) in the form of an employer tax credit, officially called the Employee Retention Credit (ERC).
The good news is, for California employers specifically, this federal tax credit may be much easier to obtain than for those who own and operate businesses in other states, due to how eligibility works.
High-level Features of the ERC for California Employers:
• The credit is up to $26,000 per employee for a fully eligible employer.
• The credit is a federal refundable tax credit, meaning you can claim a refund directly in the form of a check from the IRS, and the ERC is NOT a loan or grant through a bank like the PPP.
• That said, the other relief programs, (such as the PPP) do interact with the ERC but importantly, do NOT make you ineligible for the ERC as was previously widely believed – even those who received both rounds of PPP funding are still potentially eligible for the ERC.
• The claim is made through federal payroll tax filings and entails tax calculations customarily performed by tax professionals.
• The eligible filing period for the ERC begins to expire in April 2023 as the statute of limitations for refunds begins to sunset.
Who is Eligible for the ERC?
Eligibility for the ERC is determined on a calendar quarter basis (corresponding to each federal filing period) and can be achieved in one of two ways:
1. Gross Receipts Test
Employers must show a specified percentage decline in gross receipts, quarter-over-quarter when comparing a given quarter in 2019 to the same quarter in 2020 or 2021. For example, the quarter ending December 31, 2019, compared to the quarter ending December 31, 2020, must show a specific percentage decline. Specifically, 2020 needs to show a decline of 50% in at least one quarter, and 2021 needs to show a decline of 20% in at least one quarter – BOTH compared to the equivalent quarters in 2019.
2. Trade or Business Operations Disruption Test
This test is where there may be advantages for the California Employee Retention Credit as opposed to the relative eligibility in other states. Eligibility under this test all hinges on whether direct state or local government orders restricted business operations for employers during the pandemic period. California was one of the more restrictive jurisdictions as compared to other U.S. states and localities, so ERC eligibility is more likely to be achieved for California employers than in other jurisdictions.
As with all federal legislation and tax law, there are nuances and fine print to the above eligibility tests that go beyond the scope of this article and edge cases that require parsing through grey areas. This is where working with a qualified and licensed tax professional who specializes in tax credits comes into play. Many who are otherwise eligible for the ERC may be leaving money on the table, or otherwise working off an incomplete assessment of the full scope of their eligibility.
Is ERC Taxable in California?
Another benefit of the ERC is that, in general, it is not taxable on your California income tax return, as per FTB Publication 1001. That said, given it is a federal credit, it does directly impact your federal income tax filing and may result in the need to modify your federal income tax filing.
