A BRACKET-STYLE SHOWDOWN FOR BOOK LOVERS

BOTTs_Background (1).png
Battle of the Tropes Logo: "Battle" and "tropes" are in a stylized, orange to pink gradiant font stacked on top of one another. Between those two words are "of the" on a banner, flanked by two small potions of a bracket. A black and white sword is behind everything.

We're pitting your favorite tropes against one another in the Battle of the Tropes!  Brackets are available now and can be submitted for a chance to win tickets to Rebels & Realms... or you can totally fill one out just for fun.  Can't wait to see which Trope you think will make it to The Final Showdown on April 6th!
