	The '''Fan Club Official Movie Magazine''' was a magazine series produced by [[Decipher]] which was printed every two months between February 2002 and January 2005. It also included a "Hobbit-sized Edition" which was included with the extended DVD release for ''The Fellowship of the Ring'' in November 2002.		The '''Fan Club Official Movie Magazine''' was a magazine series produced by [[Decipher]] which was printed every two months between February 2002 and January 2005. It also included a "Hobbit-sized Edition" which was included with the extended DVD release for ''The Fellowship of the Ring'' in November 2002.

	In early 2001 Decipher acquired FANtastic Media, a company which had created the official Star Trek and Star Wars fan clubs, and set up the Lord of the Rings fan club in turn. A website, message board, and online storefront were all used in an attempt to build up a long-lasting tight-knit community as had already been done for those other properties. Decipher went so far as to attempt to make this fan-community-running approach a part of its brand, as archived portions of the website record their attempts to push out into other properties such as Batman and The Simpsons.

	However, this approach was unable to thrive with the rise of the Internet, where fans would themselves quickly and easily establish their own hubs without the need for official centralized guidance. Ultimately the Lord of the Rings Fan Club was shut down in early 2005, with the magazine ending its print run at the same time. Notably the Star Trek Communicator magazine (which had been ran by FANtastic Media for ten years, and had been in print in one form or another since 1979) also closed down just a few months later.
