Innumerable Stars 2026 (innumerable_stars2026) by Grundy, elwinfortuna
16 Jul 2026

Summary
Innumerable Stars is a Tolkien fandom gift exchange for all works by Tolkien or associated with Middle-earth.
"And yet their labour was not all in vain; and though nowhere and in no work was their will and purpose wholly fulfilled, and all things were in hue and shape other than the Valar had at first intended, slowly nonetheless the Earth was fashioned and made firm. And thus was the habitation of the Children of Ilúvatar established at the last in the Deeps of Time and amidst the innumerable stars."

Fic In A Box 2026 (Fic_In_A_Box_2026) by wafflelate, InfiniteCrabs, karanguni, SockForExchangeModding, fencesit, Asymptotical, DontStopHerNow, Tavina, tuesday, gayowyn
16 Aug 2026
Summary
Participants in Fic In A Box can sign up to exchange a wide variety of fanworks — and they can do so at volume, and in various sizes! At base, everyone is requesting 10k of fanfiction (which they might recieve as one 10k fic or as ten 1k fics) but participants can opt in to receiving other mediums. "Which mediums?" I hear you asking. Well...any digital medium, as long as we can agree on a clear and easily checked equivalent to 1k of written fic! If you want to get wild, you can even opt into receiving fic in amounts smaller than 1k. Art, vids, podfic, dress-up games, cocktail recipes, emoji, fanmixes, murdles...truly our participants are thinking (and creating!) out of the box.
