The very talented Hai writes: First off, I’d like to tell you guys how much I appreciate your work on
TheOneRing.net. I’m a long time fan of LOTR and I must say your site has been an invaluable resource for all Tolkien stuff. I hope you guys keep up the great work for many many centuries!
For the longest time ever after I’ve read the book The Hobbit, I’ve wanted always to turn it into a webcomic. But seeing as it’s owned by the Tolkien estate and I’d rather not get into trouble with it, I’ve decided to just come up with my own fantasy story instead. And six months later, my fantasy webcomic By Moon Alone is finally up and running. So I’d like to invite you guys to have a look at it. There’s only 40 pages so far but I hope the quality will speak for itself. www.bymoonalone.com

One of the most famous organ-orchestra pieces, closing in a thrilling pull-out-all-the stops toccata, it was written for the Wanamaker Organ and the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1926, but to date has never been played on the instrument for which it was intended.

Harry Sloan, the MGM CEO whose many credits include helping to bring “The Hobbit” movies to the studio has signed a new three year contract to stay at the helm of the company. As many LOTR fans remember, Sloan was also insistent that Peter Jackson be involved in any future “Hobbit” related movies during a stressful period between New Line Cinema and Jackson. “To create another page in the storied history of MGM is the most exciting challenge I’ve had in my career,” said Sloan.
