Tolkien&#8217;s Middle-earth. Called the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lotrproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">LOTR project<\/a>, it provides a great big family tree for Tolkiendom. Its scope is amazing as is the effort and organization, although it is still a work in progress. We asked Johansson to tell us more about his project and this is what he had to say:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I first read the Lord of the Rings when I was eleven years old, just in time for the first movie to come out. At that point it&#8217;s not fair to say I was passionate about it but rather that I found it a good way of escaping reality for a while. I was the kind of kid who lived a lot in my imagination.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The first family tree I made was probably six years ago and consisted of two huge papers, 1 by 1 meters. I quickly realized this was something I wanted to share, but my knowledge of the web was too poor to allow it. I was not until November last year that I decided to give it a try. Even though much of the research already had been done, programming the site and adding the characters into the database have taken a lot of time. Too much for me to want to think about it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I still have a massive amount of work left before I&#8217;m finished and I will not give up until it is perfect.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The site is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lotrproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MUST VISIT<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chemical Engineering student Emil Johansson has an amazing passion project he developed mapping out the genealogy of everybody&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[198,197,35,5,148,149],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fans-creations","category-fans","category-lotr-books","category-lotr-movies","category-hobbit","category-lotr"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-dNh","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53027"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53027\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53096,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53027\/revisions\/53096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
