Posts published with Steady for the months of February – April, 2024
All of the material published with thetolkienist.com will always be free for you to peruse as well as some of my work with my crowdfunding site over at steadyhq.com/thetolkienist. Having said that, I will not cross-post the work I am doing here to the other place or the other way around. This will only happen if the occasion arises. However, I would love to let the readers here at my blog know that there is even more to read and experience with Steady.
A chronology of posts
February 1. Not a Tolkien quote: “Every tree has its enemy, few have an advocate. In all my works I take the part of trees against all their enemies.”
February 2. Welcome to February.
At the beginning of the month all of my members with Steady get a full write-up on what I have done the month before, how on-going projects are progressing, what new ideas I have come up with and a full list of all published material with Steady, sorted into categories.
February 2. The Ninety-eighth Roving Ranger.
February 2. RR+: The NZ Post Collectables – the ‘Lord of the Rings’ 20th Anniversary series – and a critical reading of Serkis’ ‘Gollum’.
You may know my bi-weekly newsletter, the Roving Ranger. This is a free service to the worldwide Tolkien community; the RR+ (Roving Ranger plus) is a service for my members when I believe they might be interested in getting more detailed information on a particular piece of news.
February 4. Please wish me luck.
A very last minute tour to the Italian Tolkien exhibition – report still outstanding!
February 19. The Ninety-ninth Roving Ranger.
February 20. Postcards and Christmas cards – checking back with you.
Some of the tiers with my Steady site get postcards and letters on a regular basis. As mail services the world over seem to have their issues I do check back with my supporters.
February 20. Are you interested? An online look at the Italian exhibition, with running commentary by me, myself and I.
I have asked my members with Steady whether they would like a presentation done on the exhibition in Rome.
March 11. RR+: The Hobbit translated into Romansh – crowdfunding now!
March 12. Coming Soon: A history of RingCon (by someone who co-founded it)
The first ever film trilogy convention in the world happened in Germany – and I had a hand in it. Been meaning to write this for the last 20+ years!
March 12. RR+: The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien – coming Sept 12, 2024.
March 22. Fingolfin’s Findings LII: Meet the Gimli House.
Fingolfin’s Findings is an on-going series of interesting, odd and/or weird things you would either not expect or you simply have never heard of in the context of J.R.R. Tolkien’s life and works. They are a side-effect of continously searching the net for years.Did you know Christopher Tolkien was nominated for a Grammy? (just an example.)
April 10. RR+: Paul Corfield Godfrey’s ‘Musical Chapters’ from ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ set to be recorded.
April 15. A quick hi – and bear with me for a few more days.
April 23. Welcome to April.
April 23. Fingolfin’s Findings LIII: The Windlord Gwaihir Jacket on Mount Everest – by Rohan.
April 24. Fingolfin’s Findings LIV: ‘From fairies to SimMan: Tolkien and realism in simulation’.
April 30. Fingolfin’s Findings LV: Names that had to change after legal threats.
April 30. RR+: Lord of the Bins – what has happened to them?
