Garfeimao writes: One of just 5 Oscar posters from the 74th Academy Awards (the year Fellowship of the Ring was nominated) that were signed at TORN’s “One Night to Rule them All” Oscar Parties is up for auction. One was given away as a prize, one was auctioned at the “Two Towers, One Party” event the following year, mine is framed and sitting in my room, and the two remaining belong to my boyfriend. He’s going to be moving right after Comic Con, so he’s begun to start clearing out his storage. We thought it more fair to offer this item for auction, and announce it here, rather than just bring it to comic con where most of you would not have a chance to see it. [ebay link]

It revolves around J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” saga, but it isn’t set in Middle Earth. Rather, much of the story takes place in cyberspace – in Internet chat rooms where “Lord of the Rings” fans meet under fanciful screen names and commiserate about hobbits and the movie stars who play them. Renne said she was part of a group of fans taken in by a phony charity set up by Amy Player, a young woman from York County who seems to have been motivated less by money than by the goal of online status and the opportunity to mingle with the stars of the “Lord of the Rings” movies.
