new LOTR group

[Sherry Gomes]

Hi all,

Excuse the non HP related post, but since this is OT-chatter, I thought I'd
go ahead and post this here.

Some of you may remember that a few weeks ago, I expressed an interest in
finding a discussion group, similar to the HP for grownups concept, for lord
of the Rings.  well, having not really found what I wanted, I decided to
form my own.  So, today I formed a new group for the purpose of discussing
the works of Tolkien, either in books or movies, or even in fan fiction.
The group is just starting out, so anything goes at this time.  The only
thing I really don't want is discussions of Elijah's dreamy blue eyes or
Orlando's whatever.  Of course, discussing the actors and their roles and
their feelings about the experience is perfectly on topic.  I had an
experience a couple years ago where I thought I was joining a discussion
group for LOTR, but it ended up being a group to drool over Elijah and
Orlando.  So, that wasn't quite the place for me, since I am old enough to
be the mother of either of them!

anyway, if you are interested in discussing Tolkien in a fun and relaxed
environment--well, I hope it will be fun--please feel free to join my group.
It's called 

CouncilsAtRivendell

You can join by going to the group site at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/councilsatrivendell 

Or you can subscribe by email at

councilsatrivendell-subscribe at yahoogroups.com

if anyone has any trouble joining, I can send an invitation and that should
take care of it.

Also, if you know any Tolkien, or LOTR movie fans, please send them our way.
I'm not exactly sure how to advertise it, but hopefully, word will get
around.

thanks everyone!
