Hullo Ringadongdillos!
Just a note to let you know that Gandalf, Calisuri and I have edited and posted the logs from our past two recent Hall of Fire chats. If you missed them, check out the action here for Legends of Middle Earth or Istari: Part One. We hope to see you this comming Saturday at 5:30 EST for Istari: Part II.
Ready, set, go!! Tomorrow night marks the start of our newest contest here at TheOneRing.net. Get your computer ready to surf and be the first to find the One Ring that Calisuri has burried in the site. If you do, a beautiful One Ring replica by Badali is yours…. other great prizes await, so happy hunting! The Regulars and I will be hanging out at Barliman’s when the contest opens, and I’m looking forward to watching the frenzy from there. Come join us if you’re not digging for the grand prize!

Tehanu’s next Note is out, finally. She looks at those old staples of fantasy literature everywhere: quests, myths and archetypes. And looks at how Arwen fits right into all of that. [ more ]
Mia’s alerted us to some more Tolkien-related fun coming up in England.
The Tolkien Society and Birmingham City Council will be running a “Tolkien Weekend” at Sarehole Mill, Hall Green, just south of Birmingham, on the 13th and 14th May 2000. The mill will be working, and there will be exhibitions by The Tolkien Society, Hall Green library, and local history groups. There will be activities for children, etc. It will be free. Sarehole Mill was the “original” of the Mill at Bywater in The Lord of the Rings, and is now maintained as a traditional milling museum.
You can find out more about this by checking out the Tolkien Society’s website here
Well, well, well…. Hello all! Gamgee here with yet another edition of the Tolkien fun section! It took a while, but we have finally got 3 correct answers to the last trivia section! The winners were Matt and Margaret! Good job guys! The Answers were: 1) Rumil 2) Folcwine 3) Robin Smallburrow
Here are our posers for today:
1) “What was the name of Fingolfin’s sword?”
2) “uhergntdat” (scrambled Tolkien person, place or thing)
3) “Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumn leaves that there were” (Who said this?)
As always email me with your answers, the 1st person to send me all 3 correct answers in one letter will be posted here tomorrow! Good luck!
The folks at New Line were good enough to send me an update on the Q&A session with PJ.
A number of sites have sent in a sample of the intriguing questions that your users have asked and they have been fantastic. If you have more than two questions you’d like to submit, please feel free to send in a moderately-sized selection and we’ll do our best to work in as many as possible.
New Line also stated that they will have many more of these Q&A’s with Different people from time to time! This means perhaps we get a chance to speak with some actors or SFX folks!
Also, with New Line saying they’d like to see the other questions we had, I’ve sent all 10 to them to look over! So it seems we get to ask many more questions than before!
And here is some extra bit of news they sent only to TheOneRing.net
Our next month-long Q&A session will begin on June 1st.
So get your next set of questions ready!
