The Lord of the Rings Newsletter 4! (FAQ)

Hello for the 4th (!!) time!

Many of you are already very familiar with this project (if by my life or death I can protect you all, I will); some are not. For the former this post serves as an announcement that I'm organising the Newsletter again, and for the latter - as an introduction to the project!

What is LOTR Newsletter?

I’m one of the people who subscribed to Dracula Daily in May 2022 and immediately thought, “Hey, I can do this too but with XYZ!” - in my case XYZ being The Lord of the Rings. Because the events of LOTR have specific dates assigned to them, we’re gonna be reading LOTR as it happened.

When does it take place?

Because of the way the beginning of LOTR is structured (read: because I don’t want to leave six-months-long (or you know. seventeen-YEAR-long) breaks between the first entries), we’re gonna start on September 15th. It's a week before September 22nd, when the main events start to take place for real, so we have enough time to read the first few fragments of the book, which take place long before them. It’s also the publishing date of the Silmarillion, but that’s just a fun fact for my own enjoyment.

From September 15th to September 19th, we’ll read the prologue and the fragments preceding Frodo’s departure from the Shire. From September 20th, we’ll be reading according to the dates in the book, right until April 8th. Then we’ll be reading the last parts of the book - which are stretched over a long time - once a week, to once again avoid lengthy breaks in delivery.

Overall, the Newsletter will run from September 15th, 2025 to May 26th, 2026.

How do I subscribe?

Since the original e-mailing platform I was using (TinyLetter) was shut down halfway through the second year of the newsletter, I had to figure out an alternative way to execute this project.

So:

You can access/download the whole newsletter - September 15th to May 26th - as an .odt file, as a .pdf file, and most importantly as an .epub file, because I assume most of you are reading on your phones (if you don’t already have an .epub reader, I use FBReader, and everything worked fine on my phone). At the beginning you’ll find the whole table of contents with hyperlinks, so the navigation inside the document should be easy!

The MEGA folder can be accessed right here, and it’s available for everyone!

In the folder linked, you’ll also find a calendar file made by @none-ofthisnonsense that you can download on your phone and import into your calendar app so that all days when we read are marked in your calendar!

If you want to receive notifications about when there is an entry to read, you can also follow @is-today-a-lotr-newsletter-day and turn on notifications! This is a blog created solely for notifying you all when we’re reading a new fragment of the newsletter, so all notifications you’ll get will be about new entries, and nothing more. The notifications are meant to be the equivalent of sending e-mails.

Where do I go if I want to post/talk about something related to the Newsletter with other readers?

We discuss current (and not only current) entries in the #lotr newsletter tag, and we have a Discord server set by the amazing @k-she-rambles!

Anything else I should know?

Please don’t rat me out to Tolkien Estate/j, and have fun reading!

(And as a PS.: I know I'm pretty much repeating myself from last year, but thank you very much if you join, or join again. The last two years took quite a bit of work (and LOTS of trial and error) because of the forced change in the format of the Newsletter. I know the new way is not for everyone, and for that I am truly sorry - but like I said last year, introducing more changes again, after so many changes had to be made already, only felt like creating more chaos, so I decided to stick to a solution that mostly worked. I really hope you can understand.)

See you on September 15th!
