This Saturday, Hall of Fire returns to the Fellowship of The Ring as the hobbits abandon the false safety of The Shire and plunge into The Old Forest.
“There,” said Merry. “You have left the Shire and are now outside, on the edge of the Old Forest.”
FoTR Book 1, Chapter 6: The Old Forest
The Hobbits venture deeper into the forest, but it fights there progress at every turn with an almost-sentient wilfulness and disdain for living, moving creatures. Unwillingly, they are turned toward the strangest part of the Old Forest — the Withywindle. Continue reading “Hall of Fire chapter chat: The Old Forest!”

This Saturday, Hall of Fire returns to the Fellowship of The Ring as the hobbits — momentarily free of the Black Riders — finally arrive at Frodo’s new home in Crickhollow.
“Now we had better get home ourselves,” said Merry. “There’s something funny about all this, I see; but it must wait till we get in.”

In the wake of THE HOBBIT 10-minute presentation at CinemaCon last week, fans’ excitement/ nerves/ energy level has grown apace! On top of that, a remarkable team of Hollywood talent has created a parody film of the LOTR Trilogy, to satisfy one of the longest-running “friendly rivalries” in the history of anime (a somewhat related field of fandom). Ringers just recently got their first look at the mini-epic “The Todd of the Rings,” available exclusively on YouTube. We are quite thrilled to be joined *live* by voiceover star VIC MIGNOGNA (“Fullmetal Alchemist” & “Naruto”) to discuss the creation of his special parody on today’s webcast TORn TUESDAY, hosted by Clifford Broadway (Quickbeam). The role of Gandalf was coincidentally played by your humble host, and many award-winning costumes were donated by Tolkien fans from across the country for the making of this comedic tour-de-force! Come join our live chat show and be part of the fun, Vic is eager to answer fans’ questions. As always, you can participate starting at 5:00pm PDT — There’s a built-in Barliman’s chat room or come in via Skype in TheOneRing.net’s Stickam page.

This Saturday, Hall of Fire rejoins Frodo, Sam and Pippin on the road to Bucklebury Ferry as we return to our chapter-by-chapter read-through of Fellowship of The Ring.
“That settles it!” said Frodo. “Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones. At all costs we must keep you away from the Golden Perch. We want to get to Bucklebury before dark.”
FoTR Book 1, Chapter 4: A Shortcut to Mushrooms
In the morning, Gildor and his company of elves are gone. Frodo decides the road is too dangerous, and heads cross-country instead. Continue reading “Hall of Fire tomorrow: A Shortcut to Mushrooms”
