Greetings — Quickbeam here.
How time flies!! Green Books proudly marks its third year on TheOneRing.net with a special Anniversary Edition:
* Go Out on a Limb and read the full story of how I “Found a Hobbit’s Voice” — providing the character voice of Sam for the video game!
* Anwyn thinks that The Two Towers will be TWICE the movie that Fellowship was. Read her fabulous Counterpoint to learn what inspired her.
* Turgon returns with a remarkably huge “Roundup of Recent and Forthcoming Books by and about J.R.R.T.” over on his Bookshelf including titles through Fall 2002.
* Special Guest #1 is “Beowulf Lives!” by the Polish Tolkien-scholar, Christopher Garbowski, author of Recovery and Transcendence for the Contemporary Mythmaker: The Spiritual Dimension in the Works of J. R. R. Tolkien (2000).
* Special Guest #2 gives us a brilliant story of one teacher opening the minds of hundreds of children: “The Tolkien Effect” by Annie White Owl.
* Tookish has more delicious Ticklers with top-10 lists, jokes, slap-happy FILKS and more. What madness awaits you!
* Moon Letters offers many new and splendid Fan poetry and creative writings.
* Questions & Answers has great new stuff, including:
1. Did the Ring have its own Will?
2. How do the Elves reproduce?
3. Why make the Three Rings at all?
4. Give us Sauron’s back-history!
5. What was the blasting fire from Orthanc?
We truly love bringing this magazine to you…. So on behalf of the entire Green Books Staff, I say “THANK YOU” to the many readers around the world who have made these three years such an outrageous success!
Much too hasty,
Quickbeam
