Just wondering, when looking for this kind of site, how would you call it?
Thanks.

I use the term fanfic, but you get better results with fan fiction. Just an observation. And experience. But either way, you get over a half-million hits. I found this site on a link, but I have found other sites by searching LOTR fanfic. It weeds out the drivel (sp?).

Well, we're no-where in the "LOTR".
We're well up for "Lord of the Rings" fanfic = #1, fan fiction #5, fanfiction #11 (in Google).
Perhaps we should do some optimising...

Admittedly I was searching yahoo!. I get the DTs if I try another search engine. As I said, I got here through a link on another site, so I have never actually looked for this site through the engines.

I usually use Google and search for "lord of the rings fanfiction het".  I think "fanfiction" should turn up more results, logically. |

Since I know the name - I use Lord of the Ring Open Scrolls and get it every time.
If you put in Lord of the Rings fan fiction - you get so much SLASH it is sad.

I got here by a recommendation so i never technically searched. But i have put in fan fiction/fic before and gotten too many hits. I think word of mouth or computer is the best way to get a site visited a lot.

I found this website while typing "fanfiction" by accident a year or so ago.
Yeah, I'm still hooked.

I found this site when a well-known slash writer kindly suggested I would find kindred souls here! Bless her generous heart!

Been so long, I can't remember. I use "Open Scrolls" on Google now but I think the original was "fanfiction het"

Hey Rob, on the aol browser, I type in open scrolls and you guys come up first second third and fourth. I type in fanfiction and you come up on page 12. Lotr fanfiction, I fell asleep before I ever found OSA. LOTR het fan fiction you come up on page two, but below Ansereg????? huh???? Why the hell do they put het on their blurb cuz they have one g rated slash fic with no pairing?? Not cool. You should put the phrase no damn Slash in ours so we can push some of theirs down the list.

Not too worried about AOL search. Google is the one I aim for.
We don't do well on LOTR; Lord Of The Rings is pretty good.
I've sorted LOTR fanfic, Lord of The Rings fan fiction, Lord of THe Rings fanfic, but LOTR fan fiction is not too hot
