Marion Arts writes: I am a New Zealand composer/singer and have fairly recently released a cd of original songs inspired by the poetry/chants& ballads in LOTR. This is an independantly released cd, of very original acoustic music featuring a most unusual instrumentarium. My name is Marion Arts (ex Red Hot Peppers), The CD is called “Songs Of The Rings” and it is available at [fragilecolours.com]

We have recently added four new fanfilms for you to enjoy! Take a look at ‘The Trouble of the Rings’, ‘Ring Fiction’, ‘Orodruin Dogs’ and ‘Natural Born Orcs’! [TORN Fanfilms]

Ashlee & Rachel Scott write: Hi again. We wrote to you a few days ago thanking you for putting fan films online (available here). We’ve been getting hundreds of requests from schools, teachers, students, friends of friends asking for a copy of our 3 hour full length ROTK parody. People have been coming into work, leaving notes in our mailbox, stopping at our house, following us and doing the same to friends of ours from work. We appreciate their interest and support. But, to be perfectly honest with you, our Mom has ovarian cancer and our family can not afford to duplicate and ship any copies of our ROTK parody to all these people. I hope you understand. [More]

Xoanon here, instead of sending the Scotts money so YOU can get a LOTR DVD, take that same money and use it for a good cause. Please donate to the The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, I think it is something much more important, don’t you? [Donate]

Kristen, Susannah and Sharon The ‘Letters to PJ’ Organisers write: Susannah and Kristen have recently returned from New Zealand where the completed ‘Letters to PJ’ book was successfully delivered to Peter Jackson through his associates. We encourage you to visit our website, letterstopj.com, for photographs and information about our trip. Get to it- our website shuts down in just a few months. If you have any additional questions or comments regarding the project and our time overseas, please fell free to send us an e-mail. We would love to hear from you! However, it could take us a while to reply- e-mails are flooding in and it’s taking a long time just to thank everybody! Thank you so much for contributing and/or assisting the project. Your support and enthusiasm did not go astray! ‘Letters to PJ’ has been an amazing, unforgettable experience in which you have played an immeasurable part. It has been lovely to meet you all and share stories. We hope that the Lord of the Rings will always be with you, just as the ‘Letters to PJ’ book and its heartfelt message will remain with Peter Jackson and all who made these films.

Due to the overwhelming requests, we have put together a page to highlight the entries of this years Fan Film competition at ORC 2006. You can also submit additional fan films to be shared with everyone! Follow this link for more info! [FanFilms]
