I have a confession to make. I’ve hidden this secret from most of my friends for several years now. I hope you’ll still respect me once you know.
I read fan fiction.
If you don’t know what fan fiction is you’re probably not an ubergeek. Fan fiction is (duh) fiction written by fans. It is usually written within a certain entertainment universe; Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Heros, even Gossip Girl or the Brady Bunch. Writers put a disclaimer at the beginning that they don’t own the characters and that they are not making money. For the most part, this satisfies copyright law and franchise owners have mostly been content to let the fans enjoy themselves. Quality and styles have a wide range even within a single universe. From the extremely common obviously-written-by-a-13-year-old-girl to some extremely disturbing and slimey, from people who have no business writing whatsoever to people who can actually capture the tone and language of the original writer. There are even fan fiction terms to let you know what you’re getting. Canon – no events in the story conflict with what’s in the original material. Alternate universe – something is very different (Frodo doesn’t leave with the elves). Crossover – two universes meet (Gandalf vs Dumbledore – duel to the death).
I’ve only read Lord of the Rings fan fiction and have discovered a handful of writers who really mimic Tolkien and understand the characters and world he created. But an event happened this week that will test the legal bounds of fan fiction everywhere.
A group of filmmakers has produced what they are calling “an unofficial not for profit short film”. The Hunt for Gollum was filmed in North Wales in 2007 by a team of volunteers. As with other fan fiction, no one was paid for their time, including post production and animators. 
The movie is very clearly modeled after Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy right down to the font used for the titles. That font, like almost everything else in the New Line franchise was created solely for that production. The film follows several characters with whom we are very familiar. It appears to be “canon”, expounding on a period mentioned briefly by Tolkien when Legolas’ father was charged with keeping Gollum prisoner so that he could not reveal the location of the ring. Gollum escaped and Aragorn and Gandalf were charged with finding him. They failed.
This is certainly not the first time fans have made a movie based on copyrighted material. YouTube is filled with such ventures. And the Michel Gondry movie, Be Kind Rewind, starring Mos Def and Jack Black, started a whole new genre of “sweded” versions of movies. (I highly recommend Be Kind Rewind, btw, very sweet.) But all of these videos were clearly fans playing dress up, not professionals producing a very professional looking film. We’ll see where this winds up legally.
In the meantime, you can see the trailers and the movie at the link below. It is very impressive looking but obviously not of the quality (or budget) of the original films. I also found all the trailers a bit slow moving. I haven’t had a chance to see the movie itself but I hope to check it out this weekend. You can too at www.thehuntforgollum.com.

Greetings! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to
give a quick shout out and say I genuinely enjoy reading your articles.
Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same topics?
Thank you so much!
My partner and I stumbled over here coming from a different page
and thought I might as well check things out.
I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to looking at your web page repeatedly.
Amazing blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m
a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like
Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m
totally confused .. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
Hello my loved one! I wish to say that this article is amazing, nice written and come
with approximately all important infos. I’d like to see more posts like this .
Howdy great blog! Does running a blog like this take a lot of work?
I have virtually no expertise in coding but I was
hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyway, should you have any ideas or tips for
new blog owners please share. I know this is off subject nevertheless I just
had to ask. Thanks!

I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
Appreciating the time and energy you put into your
website and detailed information you offer. It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that
isn’t the same out of date rehashed information. Excellent read!
I’ve saved your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.

There’s definately a lot to know about this issue. I love all the points you’ve made.
Last night, I suddenly opened my eyes at around 3 AM, still thinking about
the anime Kaiji. That show really gets under your skin.
A fact I came across not long ago is that Kaiji’s gambling games are actually based on real psychological and game
theory concepts. That just makes me respect the anime
even more.
Still wide awake, so I found this deep-dive blog post that talked about
how Kaiji’s games work in real life. If you like that kind of stuff, it’s a must-read.
Still buzzing from it all, I fired up my favorite online casino and played a few rounds.
I picked Book of Dead—it just felt right in that moment.
You’re not going to believe this—I hit a $1,000 win. Totally unexpected.
What I love about Book of Ra is how those bonus rounds come out of nowhere and flip everything.
It’s got me thinking… was it random, or something more?
Or did Kaiji awaken something?
Let me know your thoughts below.
Appreciate this post. Let me try it out.

No wonder it feels so real.

With my brain still spinning, I fired up my regular slot site and played a few rounds.
I picked Book of Dead—no idea why.
You’re not going to believe this—I won $1000. Blew my mind.
What I really like about Gate of Olympus is the way multipliers can stack like crazy during free spins.
So now I’m wondering… was it random, or something more?
Or did Kaiji awaken something?

Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Chrome, it looks fine but
when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, excellent blog!
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme.
Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do
it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to design my own blog and
would like to find out where u got this from. thanks a lot
Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing
a blog post or vice-versa? My website discusses a lot of the same subjects
as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward

Hello friends, how is all, and what you wish for to say on the topic of this post, in my

Great delivery. Sound arguments. Keep up the good
effort.
Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using
for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options
for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
I do accept as true with all of the ideas you have introduced on your post.
They are really convincing and can certainly work. Still,
the posts are very quick for novices. May you please extend them a bit from next time?
Thank you for the post.
Earlier this morning, I woke up at around 3 AM, haunted by thoughts of that intense anime Kaiji I watched
before bed. It’s crazy how much it sticks with
you.
Something cool I found out is that the creator used
real behavioral tactics to make the gambling in Kaiji feel brutally authentic.
That just makes me respect the anime even more.
Still wide awake, so I decided to read an article that talked about how Kaiji’s games work in real life.
Trust me, it’s worth checking out if Kaiji
hooked you like it did me.
With my brain still spinning, I opened up my regular slot site and decided to spin a
few reels. I picked Book of Dead—it just felt right in that moment.
You’re not going to believe this—I scored a grand.
Blew my mind. What I love about Gate of Olympus is the way multipliers can stack like crazy during free spins.
It’s got me thinking… was it random, or something more?
Or was it fate showing off after that anime session?
