Hi Everybody !

Here is our traditional editorial of the end of the year.

It's been more than 6 years since our website was created. My website, I should say, for behind all that, there is a unique person - me. I let you imagine how much time I spend with all this.

But the result is here, wonderful, rewarding. You're always about 1020 people every day that visit my website. How not to be motivated in these conditions, to propose to you plenty of ideas in relation with the Elves' World?

Our (French) Forum is particularly active and nice. We notice that questions are mainly about tatoos. "Ethno Tatoo" with Laurent Berthet, tatooist based in Lausanne and Geneva (Switzerland), is an important partner and I make a lot of translations for his customers. Let's not forget that he realised the wonderful tatoo for Isabelle Rojas, which everybody remembers.

It was on December 17, 2003 that "The Return of the King" was released on screens (in Switzerland) - it seems to me like it was yesterday. So many things have happened since then, and even if this year has been a little quieter for me concerning my activities relating to the Lord of the Rings, I remember with pleasure the Quenya courses I gave, the trips to RingCon, wich has now opened its doors to other themes like Harry Potter or Twilight... and over all my publications, which encounter still greater success - for nothing can replace real paper, whatever we can say.

By the way, as I'm talking about publications, our Editor LULU has been proposing since this month a numerical version of our Elvish books, particularly well adapted to Amazon's "Kindle"... to be followed... it seems that we can transform an iPhone into Kindle by downloading applications. We will see this in details at the beginning of next year.

Normally, after the Quenya and Sindarin dictionaries and the Quenya and Sindarin courses by Thorsten Renk in French and English, we are going to publish them in German this new year.

Of course, we are already looking forward to seeing the two new movies by Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro, "The Hobbit", for, apparently, they gave special care to the Elvish characters. We are waiting impatiently.

I thank you sincerely for your visits and I wish you a merry Christmas and beautiful end of the year celebrations, and see you in January 2010!

Alassëa Coranar 2010!!
