<img src="{data}/news/old_attachments/images/lotr_movie.jpg" alt="Flo" class="frame" style="float:left"><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/cassieclaire/">Cassandra Claire</a> has written the definitive, behind-the-scenes diaries kept by the stars of the the <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0120737">Fellowship of the Ring</a> (Lord of the Rings). The diaries are scattered throughout her(?) online journal, but have been gathered together very nicely <a href="http://home.nyu.edu/~amw243/diaries/">here</a>* and, if that site's not working, <a href="http://www.windowseat.org/weblog/archive/00000376.html">here</a>. As both pages mention, the diaries are the most fun when read in order. The diaries are rife with homoerotic humor, but it's mostly pretty funny. My favorites are <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?itemid=21808977">Ringwraith #5</a> and <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?itemid=19297497">Legolas</a> (still the prettiest). As as added bonus, the latest (and likely, last) diary, <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=cassieclaire&itemid=18002">Sauron's</a> is available. <span class="notes">If you really like these diaries, this site was offering t-shirts with 'still the pretties' and 'Aloof, unavailable elf princess' among others available.</span>
