I take fic, art, whatever if it relates to Tolkien's dwarves somehow, even if from a non-dwarf POV (like Smaug).
So far people aren't actually using it as a community, which I'm not surprised at. So I post news as I find it, and look for fic or art to pass along. With four months before the film is out, dwarves are still the least appreciated underdogs of Tolkien's world. It's ironic since dwarves have great popularity outside of Tolkien, in gaming circles and whatnot, but within the fandom, not at all. People are very outspoken about any changes made to Tolkien's vision of them, but very few people are inspired to create their own stories or art. It will be interesting to watch that change once the Jackson versions take root.
