On behalf of Marta, I am passing on this announcement: The end of nomination season is about to close soon, so perhaps some reminders are in order. :-) First,...
Sorry, Rhapsody, that this took so long to come through. I was working on the newsletter and noticed that we had a message caught in our "spam filter." I...

Greetings, everyone! As you can tell from the poll spam *winces and shakes fist and Yahell overkill* I have posted some questions that I hope will focus me in...
Hi all, The new exercise of the month has been posted at the writers' workshop "There and Back Again". This month we are working at overcoming clichés, the...
Greetings, all! I have just finished leading a Silmarillion reading/discussion for another list, and the suggestion arose that a reading and discussion of The...
Oh, if you, Jenni and other generous members of this group have the time to write summaries of HoME, I would be eternally grateful. Because, no, I have not...
I would be interested in reading summaries, but I wouldn't be able to "read along" unless there was some .pdf or something floating around somewhere. I only...
Hi, Dawn I read your kind offer at the HASA list (is it considered bad manners to belong to two lists at the same time?). I'd love to read your summaries as I...
... I haven't read it all either! Which is part of the reason that I'm so excited about continuing to give my Sunday afternoons to writing book summaries. ;) I...
... I hope not! I belong to three Yahoo groups that are Tolkien-related (and more Tolkien-related LiveJournal communities than I care to disclose! :^P) I'm...
I have read the elfy parts of HoME a number of times (a number which exceeds 1 and in some cases exceeds 10 ahahaha) though I do own all of the HoME books. I'm...
Does anyone know what MIGHT kill or defeat Ungoliant? I am pursuing a wild plot bunny and need this info. Even theories of what could be deadly to her would be...
... Just wild speculation here, but she seems pretty scared of light. She can swallow the silmarils because they are encased in crystal, but what about a...
... Hmm. I like Marta's answer of light or fire; most animals have a natural fear of fire. What about Shelob? I've seen the LotR movies many times but only...
Thank you very much! The light and Fire ideas are quite useful in coming up with the way to help the hero to win and defeat the darkness. Now I just need the...
... Wow! I am happy for you that it was such a success! ... Well The Silmarillion is more than 1st age... 2nd age and 3rd age are in the Silmarillion too (The...
Hi Dawn, ... Am I understanding you correctly that you're only looking at doing HoMe summaries for the First Age parts of HoMe? I am thankful for that but...
Greetings, all, Since there seems to be some question of the exact logistics of the HoMe reading, I hope to clarify some things! I apologize if the first email...

I know I've just recently joined this group, but I'm leaving already. Luckily, it should be temporary. I'm serving a mission for my church (The Church of...
Um. This may be a really stupid and obvious question. But I have to ask it or risk being wrong on the details in a fic, which would be far worse, IMO. After...
Valinor would have the sun and the moon as Middle-earth does. Valinor is just "removed from the circles of the world" but still a part of Arda. I would think...
Indulge me for a minute...imagine Tolkien's world as real. Then, the 'entrance' to the straight road would be somewhere like the Bermuda Triangle, famed for...
