CNN.com has asked fans to share stories about how they're preparing for The Hobbit. Anyone can sign up and post. Several of the people on there are fans I recognize from DragonCon. I met the girl dressed as Arwen on the top of the page. You guys should share your experiences too. Here is the link: ireport.cnn.com/topics/890376And here is my contribution: ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-891881

Fredeghar: Great review and picture. You certainly look like a Hobbit. I think it is worthy of being on CNN.com's comments.
Where did I put all the pictures of myself in Tolkien character?I am sure they are somewhere on my pc!
Desi and her family and I are planning to go see The Hobbit on Friday, Dec. 14, around 6:20pm.

WOW! You guys have Kool Kostumes! LOL, I have a viking helmet (minus the horns), and a Japanese katana-sword... maybe I could get up a Nazgul appearance by draping myself in a dark coloured blanket?

Orc? But where's the "dress-up" fun in that!? All I'd need is to put on my favorite ratty-tatty T-Shirt, and mebbe drool a bit more than normal. Humph, like going out on Halloween dressed up as yourself... ;D

Thanks, Freddie! My horse, Toi, helps a lot with my Shieldmaiden look.

Oooo, Sauron! Yeah, lessee:
1) Sauron from da books - dark figure, ugly, only nine fingers. So Orc blanket and a glove with one finger folded down, yeah, nice and simple.
2) Sauron from PJ's movie - big, fire-like eyeball stuck up on a sky scraper. Hmmm, bit too much work, better take the book option. ;D

I received an email from Henry Hanks a CNN iReporter asking me for more information on my submission. I guess I post it on my link.

I got a similar e-mail. I just responded to the message, rather than post it on the link. I wonder if he's preparing some kind of article about Hobbit fans.

Maybe I should respond directly to his email, too.
