Hidden Paths 2024: Ten Days To Go!

The first set of prompts will be posted on 14th February – although you don't have to wait until then to get creating. The prompts are optional, so if you want to work on something ahead of time, please feel free!

Last year's prompts are also still up and available for use, here and here. We accept all fanworks where one of the smaller Tolkien canons plays a significant role.

For further details about the event, please read our AO3 FAQs or our Dreamwidth sticky.

Hope to see you on the 14th!
