Chick 1 says:
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.

Between hitting the waves and soaking up that Aussie sun in places like Byron Bay,
I’m always on the lookout for a new kick—and let me tell you, Aussie online casino sites really hit the mark.
There’s nothing like wrapping up a beach session and diving into the virtual casino world right
from your phone or tablet.
As a guy who’s never been afraid of risk—hell,
I’ve surfed cyclones and jumped off cliffs—online gambling is just another way I live
life on the edge.
You get everything from classic pokies to live dealer
action, and the experience is as intense as dropping into a ten-footer at Snapper Rocks.
If you’re like me—chasing thrills, living wild, and loving the
sun, sand, and stakes—then don’t sleep on Aussie online casino platforms.
Ready to ride the wave of online luck? Don’t miss your chance—visit this page and see where the action takes you!
Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic however ,
I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links
or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
My blog addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we
could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free
to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!
Great blog by the way!
As someone who lives for the thrill—both in the surf and at the slots—I’ve
got to say that Australia’s online casino scene is seriously
underrated. Living in Byron Bay, where the sun never stops shining and the waves are always calling, I’ve
come to appreciate the mix of risk and reward that comes with a solid
online casino session after a long surf day.
Whether I’m chilling after a morning surf or just riding the weekend buzz, these platforms deliver everything from fast gameplay to killer jackpots.
As a guy who’s never been afraid of risk—hell, I’ve surfed cyclones and jumped off cliffs—online gambling
is just another way I live life on the edge.
Plus, these sites are optimized for mobile, so you can play from
your towel on the beach or during a laid-back sunset hangout.
For anyone who thrives on risk, surf, and sunshine, these
sites are a no-brainer.
