Trade Show at Mrs. Bracegirdle’s Boutique

This is an opportunity to collaborate and/or exchange specific items in trade.  Maybe you want to draw pictures of Frodo in Valinor and want someone to write a story for them.  Maybe you have been working on a story about Indis' childhood, and are looking for an illustrator.  Maybe you want to collaborate on a story about the first Dwarves in Middle-earth.  You can post your trade offers here. 

Posting & Viewing Works

Beginning March 1st, 2022, works can be posted to the AO3 collection. This collection never closes, so while the event will wrap by the end of April, you can always add works later as you are inspired and finish them.
