Also love the new page lay-out. It's been done by WeareSites, who has done all the other new lay-outs you may have noticed around my webpage of late. Oh, and if you missed any recent OFUM fanart, it's up at the fanart page. I have some more to add there, so you can check back for updates now and then.
Finally, the most amusing spam I've had all year.

citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death. I was a Princess to him and the first born child that could take charge of his wealth after his death
as the most Senior more than eight years older than

I wonder how the heck this person managed to link Sauron's name with my e-mail addy. And then I am so sorely, sorely tempted to write a reply back, Sauron-style.
ETA:
Dear PRINCESS FUNMILAYO BADMOS,
how dare you e-mail me so impudently without any proper offering or curtsey? I am the Dark Lord and ruler of Mordor, you snivelling trout of a female! You will bow to me or I shall have my Nazgûl crush you and feed your bones to the wargs. And how dare you suggest I am honest and will not oppress? There is not an honest colour in my entire eyeball, you slime of a toad's bottom. I am famed for my painful oppression! Did you not read the entry in the Mordor directory? "Sauron, Dark Lord, Fallen Maia of Dishonest and Oppressing Nature. Contact through MouthofSauron@BlackGate.org"? Reading is a natural requirement for any minion of mine, least I have a repeat of the very embaressing Bree/Brie incident. Morgoth could not stop laughing for a full century. Learn to read (and spell! And how to use proper grammar! Evil has its standards, you know) at once before I have Shelob have you for a lunch kebab, you illiterate ignoramus. And why have you not at once slaughtered your father's killer and take over the country in a brutal coup? Honestly, evil these days. You have no style, no grace, no sense of revenge or standards. No wonder you seek my help, you pitiful sap.
However, I shall forgive you these mistakes in light of your feeble mortal brain, your lovely gender (I am gender equality personified, as I oppress males and females equally painfully) and your money, as I need a new tower after Barad-dûr collapsed due to an unfortunate structural flaw which had nothing to do with cute hobbits ruining my planned world dominion *at all*. Of course, I assume your offering of 20% was in jest (I enjoy a good joke, ask the Witch-King of Angmar), as surely you meant 99%. I am THE Dark Lord and you should bow for the mere honour of me wanting your money.
Your lawyer may contact my... Business associate at Morgoth@ValarVoid.org. I am sure Morgoth will be able to come to an "understanding" with your lawyer and torture him until he reveals where the money is located. And do not think you can escape me, I can see you in my palantîr.
Gimme!
Looking forward to a fruitful cooperation wherein I get all the fruit,
Sauron,
Merciless Maia
Disembodied Dark Lord
