Welcome to the Week 4 roundup post! Thanks to all of our intrepid writers, artists, readers, and reviewers, we've completed an entire year in Middle-earth during the month of March! As open posting resumes, there will still be opportunities to post and comment on new fanworks. In the meantime, check out our spring compilation stories and artwork, as well as this past week’s non-compilation contributions, which are varied and vivid. Please note that some works may contain adult material; these have been marked with an asterisk*.

My absolute favourites this week were Spring Returns, for its characterisation of Gandalf, and The Constant Gardener by Tehta for its fabulous writing. Honorary mention goes to The Twins of Imladris Paper Dolls for the vivid descriptions and drawings of the cloth, plus captions underneath. And another honorary mention to baranduin's Cold Water because it read like something straight out of canon.
