SpeculativeVision.Com accepts Xenite.Org's Lord of the Rings news

Albuquerque, NM -- September 13, 2000 -- In a first step toward greater cooperation between the two science fiction and fantasy domains, Xenite.Org has begun providing SpeculativeVision.Com with an exclusive news feed from Xenite.Org's popular Lord of the Rings movie / Hobbit movie Fact/Rumor Roundup (http://www.xenite.org/faqs/lotr_movie/).

Established in February 1998, the Fact/Rumor Roundup is the Web's oldest dedicated source of news and information about movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Xenite.Org broke the story about New Line Cinema's funding of the three-movie project helmed by writer/director Peter Jackson in New Zealand two days before other Web sites and the news media carried the story.

SpeculativeVision.Com, based in Sacramento, CA, carries news, original fiction and fan fiction, links, art, interactive fiction, java games, music, reviews, an email newsletter, and discussion forums of interest to general science fiction and fantasy audiences. The domain also sponsors a Web site award program.

Xenite.Org's extensive content includes Xena Online Resources (http://www.xenite.org/xor/home.shtml) -- with more than 1600 listings the Web's largest directory of Hercules and Xena-related Web sites -- dozens of message boards, Webrings, mailing lists, and smaller specialized directories, making it one of the Web's largest non-commercial providers of specialized science fiction and fantasy content. Xenite.Org is also a leader in adopting new technologies and innovations among science fiction fan sites, providing the first XML content channels, the first dynamic news search tools, and other features.

SpeculativeVision.Com's Lord of the Rings section (http://speculativevision.com/scifi_news/lotr/) will include special material written exclusively for the domain by Michael Martinez, owner of Xenite.Org, as well as previews for his weekly Tolkien and Middle-earth articles at Suite101.Com (http://www.suite101.com/welcome.cfm/tolkien). Martinez is regarded as one of the Internet's leading experts on the works J.R.R. Tolkien, especially Tolkien's imaginary world, Middle-earth.
