About

Of all the fan sites I’ve created, OBM is one of the most successful ones, while some of my other sites took years to get a million hits, this one took only 6 months! part of it was due to the Lord of the Rings phenomenon. The site is also the most costly of all, had to move server twice due to heavy traffic. I was a huge fan of the book, the idea of creating a fan site for Orlando didn’t cross my mind until I saw The Fellowship of the Ring on the big screen. At first I thought of creating a LOTR site but there are already a few good ones so I thought I would just concentrate on one actor and Legolas is my favourite character in the book :-) I also thought I would stop after the third film but then Orlando signed on for the Pirates of the Caribbean project and now I’m stuck because of my love for the Pirates franchise and the fact that the fans need me to continue :-) Did I mention that this is also the most exhaustive site of all? every year, come movie release time, it’s crazy as hell!

Hightlights: Being interviewed by TIMES magazine and USA Today as well as getting mention in various magazines and in an unofficial autobiography. OBM is also one of the fan sites featured in the Ringers: Lord of the Fans DVD. But the best of all is getting a Legolas photo personally signed by Orlando :-)

Fans and Contributors
Thank you to all the fans who have contributed and the regular contributors to the site, you know who you are. Please understand that because of my busy life, running websites, taking care of family and stuff, it has become impossible for me to reply to every email sent to me so please don’t think I’m ignoring you or being ungrateful for not replying. I really do appreciate very much all the news and infos sent to me. I will try to reply to as many as I can but it might take awhile. Of course urgent matters will be taken care of right away.

To my husband, thanks for understanding my passion and the support, I love you!
