OK,
folks, here you go, a first go at a draft of the Letter for NL PR. I took
bits and pieces of what everyone said, and tried to work it into a cohesive
whole. Let me know what you think. I think I'm on the right track, because
the last comments by Gladys, which were posted while I was typing, were already
covered by my draft . Let me know what you think
Draft of a “Thank You” letter for the PR folks at New Line Cinema, courtesy of Europanya.
quote: This letter comes from a group of people who especially admire and are inspired by the character of Frodo from The Lord of the Rings. We post in the Online Tolkien community of Khazad-Dum.com.
The point of this letter is really very simple. We wanted to thank
you for the very gutsy move you made when you chose the image of a suffering
Frodo for one of your Teaser posters for The Return of the King.
In the opinion of many of the members of our online community, this powerful
image is extremely moving, disturbing, emotional, and embodies the sense
of suffering and beautiful sacrifice that is the essence of Frodo’s heroism
and the central theme of The Lord of the Rings.
It’s a bold image, but not a “pretty” one. It is raw and it is real. People will react strongly to it. We certainly did. And that is by no means a small or a bad thing.
Once again, we’d just really like to thank you for risking such a courageous
action. Not everyone would have done that. It truly has given us a sense
of hope and wonder that The Return of the King will be a powerful and moving experience. Thanks for helping us see that hope. It’s going to be quite a ride.
With grateful thanks from the Frodo Admirers of Khazad-Dum.com.

edit: The only objection I have to listing individual names on this letter
is the fact that not everyone will get a chance to say Yay or Nay to that
by Saturday, when Euro said she'd deliver the letter. It's really not fair
to those, such as Lily who are gone for the weekend, or others who may not
be able to log on until the weekend. We'd have to leave them off. I like it being from *all* of us.
edit Thanks, Hobmom.
Made some of Ev's suggestions. Coninue commenting! Thanks folks (*blush*)
Thanks Peachy!

Is the HALFing in any way anatomically correct? (Go on -- I know you've looked!) I seem to remember that he has a cloth body, though, so expect not. (Looks at Hewene's new icon) Glad to see you've changed your mind about seeing that pic. See -- it really was too good miss!
Yes, HALFling has a cloth body. So nothing close to anatomically correct. But I adore him anyway!
And that picture is an official image! *Not* a spoiler. So it's okay to look at it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

I don't care about character arc or dramatic tension or anything. I just want a naked Fro. - Anais
