Omg please (if you has the wherewithal, the time, emotional, capacity) do the other two films. I truly became a paid subscriber as soon as I saw you were doing Fellowship. **heart eyes**

I just need you to know that I became a paid subscriber halfway through the first part (because I haven’t laughed that much in a long time) and NOT because I knew that I needed to subscribe to read the second part now. That’s just a bonus!!

Please, please, please do the whole trilogy. There are mighty few things in this world that make me literally laugh out loud, but Butt News is one of them. I became a paid subscriber after reading Part 1.

Imo your finest writing ever. EVER. You make it look easy when I know it's really not. I hope I will spot you at a bar next time I am in Seattle so I can send a drink over to your table in celebration of this PERFECT PROSE. Thank you so much for doing what you do.

Subscribed after part one in the middle of the night because work this good deserves to be paid! Lindy, you are a national treasure.

What Sophie said and I also just stayed up way past my bedtime to read part 2 and can’t stop cackling and now I’m going to have the weirdest Hobbit-feet dreams.

The way Legolas articulated the words, "A lament for Gandalf" sparked an obsession that I have not gotten over to this day!

Great, now I have NO CHOICE but to subscribe, because the amount of laughing I have done since discovering your website this afternoon has almost eradicated my generalized world-anxiety and low-grace miasma of depression! Despite being an avid Lindy-appreciator since the Jezebel days, I somehow DID NOT KNOW this site existed, and am now in the mildly uncomfortable position of being grateful to reddit for the knowledge 😘
