Zine Yay!

[illwynd]

In case anyone here hasn't heard about it yet, I wanted to say... that the fourth volume of the Noble Steward's Chronicles, created by members and friends of the Brothers of Gondor message board, is ready for downloading!

The zine, which focuses on Denethor, includes 106 pages of fanfiction and fan art--most of which is brand new! It's really fantastic, and I urge y'all to check it out!
