OK. So this may or may not end up cheesy, I really hope it doesn't... Here goes. I want everyone to think of something they REALLY like about another person here on OSA. I know we do this all the time, but I want us to think of someone you don't really express your appreciation for. Then I want you to say what you like about them. Please, no general 'I love everyone at OSA', because we KNOW we all love each other, heck, we can talk politics without death! I mean specific appreciation for another person. It could be something like, 'I love Viv because she can turn ANY conversation into one about sex, and it makes me laugh while I'm at the most boring of jobs'. Or 'I love BB for reviewing my story, giving constructive pointers, and being really nice about it'. I have a very low level of articulation, so I expect all of yours to be better...
Well go on now, don't be shy...! |

Oooo! Me first!
Okie... I love Beebs because she's naughty, and makes me think about things I shouldn't with the most *innocent* of comments.
Andreth, because she's a veritable mine of knowledge and I can bum off of her instead of looking it up myself! And she's pervy... 
Hm...Sindhote for starting the Silm discussions again - which has been VERY helpful.
Inglor, because he's a fellow constitutionalist 
Robbie, because he kicks ass - and he's funny at times.
do, for her avatar and naughty mind.... 
NancyBrooke, because she was the first person to review my story and she knows lots about ME stuff...and hm..makes comments that inspire yet more naughty thoughts...
Viv, for almost the same reasons as above ^^^ and I love her story "Red Dawn, Golden Flower".
That's all I can think of...

Oh God, I am so sure I will forget someone ... (exactly like I always forget something when packing for a trip ...)
First (always): Viv. She made me a better LOTR fan, a better person, supported my writing, supported me, is my friend in RL, she is always overflowing with talent and good vibes ... one of my favorite persons in the whole wide world. And she is my beta ... (Ain't I lucky?)
Do: I met her through OSA and then the friendship didn't stop. We connected and there we are , in each other's hair, for a while now. Hail principessa!
Miriel: No one like her. She keeps me levelheaded, gives me perspective in writing and life.
JMac: Another faithful guide into Tolkien's world. Always making me want to research a bit more ...
Thuriniel: Mar darling, we have been through a lot together. Thank you.
Sindohte & Jillian: Lately, we meet just casually on the net and start "bouncing ideas" like crazy. They feed the Imedhuir muse and also give me the right nudges ... in every sense of the world.
Mora, BB, Panneth, Andreth, Elentari: Ladies, you rock. True inspiration and also provide the daily smile ...
Rob: Chico, there are no words to express ... let's NOT go there (or else I'll have your wife and fans at my throat).
And altogether (though I know I am not allowed to say I love everyone at OSA), every fellow author and reader I met through the forum or chat (Kwanom, Taethowen, Adionne, Powerofthebook, Miluiwen,) they have enriched my life and fanship beyond meassure.
I know I probably forgot someone. I am sure I did. F***.

Ok, I know you said no general shout outs, but, this is more like a blanket shout to all of you for putting up with me...
I am an office manager for a mobile dentist, so I am alone in a little tiny office, down a long dark hallway, with no windows  . All of you provide much sunshine for me on a daily basis. You make me laugh, and I thank you.

I hate you all - you make my life a misery 
Only joking - I enjoy the little "spats" with the regulars - you know who you are. Maram, Mora, BB, etc. and hope you don't take me seriously - unless I am being serious, of course.
I appreciate those that support the site - Mora, Viv, Maram, Andreth who help with adminning various sections. And anyone who contributes financially (not naming names just in case, and we don't know who purchases things on Amazon, but sometimes the contributions made are staggering).
Scribe is obviously a good friend.
But most of all, I love... nah - not saying. It sounds cheesy. But I'll jump in bed with her anyday

You guys make me laugh my arse off, you sound like you've just been given an Oscar or something! I love you all...wait, I just broke my own rule. 
okie-dokie, here I go...
I'm not very vocal in the forums because I work so much and can't be on very often, translation being that alot of the time I can only observe instead of interact. This means none of you know who the heckers I am.  Despite this, I love reading the bantering, playful bickering, rants and stories of the forum players.
First: the Admins, you guys are my heroes for makin' this site. THANKYOU! We all luves you! 
Sindohte, Viv, Mora and BB: Hunies, you were the first people I ever met here. Even though you tried your dernest, I'm still here and feebily kickin' around. You impressed me with your maturity (in that you didn't jump on anyone because they didn't agree with you), and your humour. You seem like genuinely really nice people.
Andreth, Inglor, NancyBrooke... ok I can't remember everyone's names, but you out there who have been termed smartarses... I bow to your superior knowledge and thank you for sharing it so we can all become smartarses like you...

Aww, this is so sweet!
Ok:
Andreth: You are a sea of knowledge and I have an unhealthy BB-brand of hero-worship. You should see the shrine in the back of my closet.
Sindohte: You are the only person I know that can put up with me for long periods of time.
Mora: You dont mind when I call you a whore.
Anna-Anna: You are such a good buddy, cant help but smile at your support
Sara: You beta my stuff And you've given me a healthy appriciation for at least one Vanya
Yoda (Queen of the yucky hobbits): You and your hobbit-love are a never-ending source of amusement
SilverMoonHobbitGeek: You are very accepting and laid back
Viv: You made me see Dwarves in a different light
Amlee: The lovey, sweet newbie!
LadyRheena: You have the perfect grasp of comic sarcasm!
Haleth: I'm still laughing over that Maedhros fic.
Maria: You're such a sweetie... but you didn't bring me food from Spain! 
Panneth: You're smut boggles the mind
Maram: Teach me German!
Ilistine: You are the sweetest, most adorable little buddy anybody could have!
Inglor: You drive me mad, but you're my mate anyway
NancyBrooke: A toast to you and your deadly PMs! Congrats for keeping the LotR Trivia thread alive, dearie!
Do: You scare me
Robbie: You scare me the most 
Healthy-fear of course. I like Scribe, she's not as frightening.
To anybody I've forgotten, I'm sorry - it doesnt mean I dont love you! It just means I'm a ditz.

You're kidding, right? I actually managed to get BB to appreciate a Vanya? *falls over in shock*
Speaking of beta-ing...*taps foot impatiently* Where's that Feanor fic, missie? HMM? (Just so you know...that's twice. I hope I don't have to tell you what happens the third time! )

Given the depth of nonsensical sensitivity I've displayed, I'm utterly dismayed and pleased to hear that:)
BB, you seem to keep us all laughing and not biting each other --at least not too hard anyway
Andreth, mistress of knowledge, what would we ever do without you? And yes, since we've all said it, you must accept it as true!
Inglor, thanks for the view from the other side:) And may I say you are a wonderfully well-spoken southerner, and I've no doubt you'd 'mam' and open doors and generally turn us all into ladies, as only a proper southern gentleman can. (Almost married one, there are days I miss it )
NancyBrooke, a most excellent reviewer in addition to an inspired writer, this site is richer for having you.
Sind, I cannot find enough nice things to say about you:) I don't think I've seen you be anything less than a genuinely kind/interesting/intelligent/funny individual of much worth.
Queen of the Shire, Eyborg & Ariel, I'd be lonely without you! Clever and tasteful darlings
Viv, good vibes and an open mind, and I respect that a *lot*.
Mora, no one ever stumps you, conversationally, and that impresses the hell out of me:)
Robbie, Scribe & Do, we owe you more than thanks, we owe you our friendships. Many of us would never have met without your inspired idea and hard work.
To the newbies, glad you hopped on this mad train!
And I just know I've left tons of people out...
Last but not least, though, thanks to you all for not showing me the door when my dander was up over nothing:)
My daily wander here makes the idiocy of the world dim a little:)

Only at times, honey. You hear? ::cracks up::

That's 'cause she gets her henchmen to do her dirty work. Don't let that fool you. Scribe can be very very scary. 
| Saralitazie wrote: | | What, you mean all those idiots over there doing this: are doing it for Beebs? |
Hell, no. It's for us, admins. 
I like you, lot. I know we're not meant to say it that way, in a general sense, but hey, I co-run the thing so... ::clears throat:: since I'm on a tight schedule, I'll just say I like you, lot and you'll just have to accept it for what it is. I think we have a great crowd here in the forum, from the Welcome Mat team to the different Section Admins, from the helpful souls who answer queries regarding fic writing or ME mythos to the plot bunny givers and the beta-readers. The donations, the many thank yous, the respect shown to one another (usually), the Amazon buyers, the reviewers, the chatters, and the list goes on...
It sometimes is a lot of work from our perspective but so far well worth it.
And for the record, I don't find anyone scary.
do.
