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]

This is one of the funnier ‘Brokeback’ spoof I’ve seen online (try ‘Broke Mac Mountain’ or ‘Brokeback to the Future’ for a great laugh), Jasher sends along this spoof ‘Lord of the Rings: Brokeback Mount Doom’. You knew it had to happen, a spoof on Sam and Frodo’s relationship in LOTR. Take a look! [More]

Afra writes: I found this funny number thanks to Empire Online and felt all Ringers should take the time to see it too. It’s safe for children too. [More]

Hand Made Beren and Luthien Bed Bob Ironside writes: Hello, just thought I’d send you some pictures of a Queen Size headboard and bed I’ve just carved for my daughter. It’s of Beren and Luthien and their first meeting in the woods. It’s out of Ash and took a long time to carve. Luthien is dancing as the flowers spring up under her feet and she’s holding a blossom up to a nightingale in a branch while Beren looks on from a crouched position by a tree to the side. There is a stag on one side and a doe and fawn on the other as well. [More]
