Greetings!
In Fellowship
has recently seen some drastic staff changes, and once again we are
looking for support staff! If you have an interest in editing,
typesetting, or any of a number of other related tasks, we would love
to hear from you! Send us an email to journal@gatheringofthefellowship.org
and tell us about your interest in helping out!
We have received a good number of submissions for our second issue, due
out in early 2006, and we are beginning to look towards our third
release, which will be available at the Gathering convention in July
2006. We encourage submissions from anyone sharing an interest in
Tolkien's works, and we are happy to work with authors of any
experience level.
In Fellowship is
available free-of-charge to all Registrants to the Gathering, but the
journal is also be available for purchase by non-members for $10.00 USD
plus postage and handling.

Corrections for In Fellowship Summer 2005
- Page 3-Edward Rodrigues' address should read
'c/o The Gathering of the Fellowship'. Paulina Gibson's address should
read 'c/o In Fellowship'.
- Our apologies to Tamar Zeffren, an editor in
the General Content area for the first issue. Tamar should have been
noted in the Introduction on page 5 and the Journal credit listing on
page 51 - thank-you, Tamar, for your contribution to the premiere issue
of In Fellowship.
- Page 49-the Tolkien Trivia fan level listing
(upside down) should read:
LOTR Fan Level: See how much of a fan you are!!
0-2 Small fan of LOTR
3-4 Medium fan of LOTR
5-7 Pretty big fan of LOTR
8-10 Very large fan of LOTR
11 Huge, Enormous, Humongous
fan of LOTR!!
