Welcome to our collection of TORn’s hottest topics for the past week. If you’ve fallen behind on what’s happening on the Message Boards, here’s a great way to catch up on the highlights. Or if you’re new to TORn and want to enjoy some great conversations, just follow the links to some of our most popular discussions. Watch this space as every weekend we will spotlight the most popular buzz on TORn’s Message Boards. Everyone is welcome, so come on in and join the fun!
The action this week is happening in the Reading Room. There are two very thoughtful investigations of female characters in J.R.R. Tolkien’s works. Check here as Poster wildespace leads the discussion on their presence in The Lord of the Rings, with more in Maciliel’s contribution to The Silmarillion Discussion (Chapter 16). Join in the fun here.
Also in the Reading Room, the TORn Amateur Symposium is underway! Inspired by the Tolkien-themed conferences and symposiums that many of our Discussion Board Members cannot attend due to cost or location, we’re going to create our own that everyone can attend right here! Check out the program and join us with your own submissions.
Want Hobbit Movie News? Each week, TORn poster DanielLB ventures into the very rich and fast-moving Hobbit Discussion Board to collect The Hobbit Headlines of the Week. Check out this week’s action here.
We’ll share more topics next week and hope you join in on the conversation! Don’t forget TheOneRing.net’s Message Boards have over 9,740 registered Tolkien fans, just like you. Let your voice be heard!
