Tis the season for tournaments, and we are no exception! Get ready for Bagginshield Trope March Madness! We have carefully chosen 64 tropes across 4 brackets to be voted on all month long. What’s the catch? We will not be using any polls for this tournament, the only way to vote for your favorite trope is by sharing or creating Bagginshield fics. 😎
Rules:
For each match-up post you must either reblog it with a fic link or drop a fic link in the comments.
Fics can only be used once per trope. So plan carefully. If you reblog with 20 fics for Round 1, they can’t be used again for Round 2.
Fic length and rating does not matter! But Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield must be on the fic.
Don’t see your favorite tag? There is a Wild Card per bracket where you can use any trope you want. Bracket A is for AU Tropes, Bracket B is for Relationship Tropes, Bracket C is for Bilbo or Thorin Tropes, and Bracket D is for Plot Tropes.
Trope with the most fic recs will move on to the next round. In the event of a tie, both tropes move on to the next round.
Schedule:
