Bilbo commissioned lots of toys from Dale for his 111th Birthday. Whose workshop got that commission? What sorts of toys did they make? How many did they make? Who delivered them?

I'll try my hand at this one, it looks lonely!

I think a story about Dís belongs here. Here is the bunny: Dís learns about the fate of her sons. Now you can approach it from the movieverse angle (perhaps Tauriel returns Fili's token to her and delivers the news?) or bookverse: all up to the artist in question.

Any takers and who is willing to give Dís her chance to be in a story?

Now, we all love the canon and there are some things we'd never try to change. Well... I'm in the mood to see someone of Thorin's Company kill Smaug. Could be anyone really, preferably not Bilbo as he's not really a killer (as established with Gollum), but I suppose it'd be interesting to see. Anyways... Someone of the Company kills Smaug. How did they get to that point? Did Smaug discover them and attack them? Did Bard's attempt to kill him fail? How do they get a giant dragon carcass out of Erebor? (please don't use a simple answer like Gandalf uses magic) Is the carcass possibly useful somehow? How does the Battle of Five Armies progress since they've already had a battle and killed the dragon?

It's all up to you. And there's even room for slash if someone feels inclined.

What was it like for the survivors of Dale to start over in Esgaroth, how did they adapt to their new lives? Bonus for featuring Girion's wife in a leadership role after her husband died, and their child(ren; the Hobbit mentions an eldest son, implying younger siblings) learning to adapt to exile.

The flipside to the above prompt - the survivors of Esgaroth reclaim Dale after the War. Feel free to include movie-only characters like Sigrid and Tilda adapting to their rather sudden change in status and growing into their new positions while they make the city habitable again, figure out new trading arragements with the Dwarves and Elves, etc.

Toys can allow children to speak out when life is frightening, they can be friends where all others have turned their backs, and they can be the confidants children long for but don't have. Take a toy from Dale and tell its tale. Bring it through a single child or many, one generation or more, The Shire, Rivendell, or maybe just the deeper mines in the Lonely Mountain. What is the toy? Who owns it, and why does this child (or these children) cherish this one toy about all others?

I love Smaug as a character, evil, devious, clever worm that he is, and I'd love to see any story from his POV, whether that be his conquest of the Mountain, his conversation with Bilbo, or his own defeat and fall.

In DoS, Thranduil says to Thorin: "I have faced the great serpents of the North. I warned your grandfather (Thrór) of what his greed would summon but he would not listen."

Given the animosity between Elves and Dwarves, why would Thranduil have left his home to warn them of such a specific danger? Was it only to keep Mirkwood safe? Or did he feel some other obligation?

I would love to try my hand at this but wanted to ask before I purchased it. The story that jumps to mind is movie verse and I was wondering if that would be alright with you or if you would thinking more book verse?

Let's do this.

It doesn't matter to me, it works either way for me. :)

Awesome!

In that case, I would like to buy this prompt.
