TheOneRing,net's Worldwide Tolkien Fan Search 2001!! We here at TORN are searching the world over for the world's biggest Tolkien fan. Do you have an entire room devoted to your Tolkien collection? Or maybe a tattoo of Smeagol in an area you can't disclose to the general public? Or better yet, maybe you have a set of triplets named Gandalf, Saruman and Sauron! Well, we wanna hear about it! So, all you Tolkien-maniacs out there write your story down, or take a photo of what you think makes you the "World's biggest Tolkien fan!"
