Well, here we are - and thanks to everyone who has kept his/her fingers crossed for me yesterday :D

Yes, there were quite a few critical questions on @LOTRonPrime!

#Tolkien

But see for yourself :
@LOTRonPrime FYI:

The questions started with this article at the Guardian which was - unfortunately - rather faulty and got quite a few of the basics wrong.

For example: @LOTRonPrime is NOT "multi-series adaptation of The Lord of the Rings (...)" ;)

theguardian.com/books/2019/aug…
@LOTRonPrime It is much better to go to the actual source which - I am proud to say as the founder of it - is the @GermanTolkSoc:

tolkiengesellschaft.de/30918/exklusiv…
@LOTRonPrime @GermanTolkSoc I had an advance knowledge of the questions but only about an hour to get my head around the original wrong assumption that "they can't use anything" - which is, if I know anything about a company with a large A in the beginning, absolutely absurd.

But I played along ...
@LOTRonPrime @GermanTolkSoc And I am really, really sorry to say that

The One Question To Rule Them All 😅

wasn't asked:

"Could this TV show be the Next Game of Thrones?"
@LOTRonPrime @GermanTolkSoc While you're with @trtworld why not check out some of their amazing pieces, for example this about the @bodleianlibs Tolkien Exhibition:

@LOTRonPrime @GermanTolkSoc @trtworld @bodleianlibs Or this nice video including our very own and amazing @Dr_Dimitra_Fimi ...

@theoneringnet @Quickbeam2000 @Dr_Dimitra_Fimi One of those threads that hold no provocatively debated issues, points of contention, highly divergent perspectives ...

SEXUALITY, TOLKIEN & LOTRONPRIME.

Strap in, a cis het middle-age white male is going to splain.*

[Damn it, I am good.
Obnoxious pun right at the start.😜]
@theoneringnet @Quickbeam2000 @Dr_Dimitra_Fimi * SERIOUSLY?

Do you really think I am going to tackle the topic of "sexuality & Tolkien" on Twitter?

The place where people yell at each other for next to no reason at all?

This is complex.

I am not going through twelve volumes of "The History of Middle-earth" with you,
@theoneringnet @Quickbeam2000 @Dr_Dimitra_Fimi LETTERS by Carpenter, etc. etc.

I'll tell you what the OP is getting wrong, imho.

Or what it seems to insinuate, willing or no.

On my way to this year's #Tolkien Seminar of @GermanTolkSoc at the @UniJena!

Makes me proud to see what we've achieved in 20+ years of volunteer work.

First TS to offer a bursary for ECRs in Tolkien studies, e.g. Hither Shore, our yearbook, has been published since 2005...
Some impressions from early Friday morning Jena.

The city centre is an eclectic mix of old and modern industry, the university campus, shopping malls, medieval roots and GDR remnants.

Pretty cool mix, by the way. Goethe Galerie, Jena
Quick coffee read.
