Wow, I never thought such a silly April fools trick would nail EVERYONE. Well, us folks at TORN had a great laugh at your expense, but we couldn’t help it. So, to set the record straight: WE DID NOT SELL ANYTHING TO NEW LINE and PJ DID NOT GET ARRESTED.
We got such a flood of emails, I had to post them for you guys to see. I say nothing says April Fools more than hate mail! [More]

It’s high time we had a good ole fashioned mud-hurling debate in The Hall of Fire, and I hope this topic serves. A hotly debated subject for decades:
Tolkien and Allegory
The Professor himself denies it, but millions of readers can’t be wrong, can they? Is the work of JRR Tolkien supposed to be allegorical? People compare The Silmarillion to the Bible, The War of the Ring to World Wars I and II, and Gandalf to Jesus. On the one hand, Tolkien has flatly stated that he did not intend for The Lord of the Rings to be allegorical, but on the other hand, footnotes and quotes from the author belie this stance.
