I came across this forum and I'm glad I did. What an awesome site! I've been a LotR fan for a year now. The first time I saw the trailer for FotR, I thought, hmm....that movie sounds familiar and then I remembered my sister (when we were kids) had the book. She cherished it and I couldn't understand what it was about that book she loved so much. So when my friend (who's a huge LotR fan) explained the book to me and insisted I see the movies, I borrowed FotR and TTT (the extended versions) and I was AMAZED!!! I never thought I would enjoy them. Then I understood why my sister loved the book so much...lol! I saw RotK a week after it was released in theaters and now I'm obsessed!!!
There are soooo many characters I love but my favorites are Frodo and Sam. I'm also a writer and after watching the movies, I started writing LotR fics but I'm usually shy about posting them.  Especially after reading so many great fics. Also, I just started reading the book, which I'm enjoying tremendously!
LOL...enough of my rambling. Would love to meet other fans here!

You're LOTR obsession began like mine.  A week before ROTK came out in the theater, my best friend literally MADE me watch FOTR and TTT (EEs). Now, I'm more obsessed than she is. Posting fics can be intimidating for new fans, but everyone here is really nice. If you have any questions, pop over to the writing forum. I would personally like to extend my services to you. I may be new, but I've done some power reading in the past year. If I can answer it, I will.
Welcome to OSA!

Um... Sil, perhaps we should explain to our dear newbie what a PHF is  It stands for "Pervy Hobbit Fancier", meaning, SilverMoonLady loves hobbits more than anything! Which, by the way, I myself do as well! Although me and Sil are mostly pervy Merry & Pippin fanciers. 
Oh, and oops... I forgot... welcome to OSA, dear Olivia! Have fun... and don't be shy to post stories here! We're a friendly bunch here, and always willing to help, if needed. 
Love, Eyborg

I knew you two would be around sooner rather than later. 
Be careful when reading Sil's stories, Olivia. I'm a die hard PEF (that would be Pervy Elf Fancier). But, she's slowly converting me story by story. She'll make you think "Frodo? Frodo who? I want Merry!"

Oh Vana, you're too sweet:) I'm just here to remind you that everyone has a little hobbit in you... Or at least everybody should!

Wow! Nice to meet you all and thank you for the warm welcome!!! Eyborg, thanks for explaining what a "Pervy Hobbit Fancier" is because I've never heard of it before. I feel the same way about the hobbits to the point I'm obsessed with them...lol! SilverMoonLady, I would love to read your stories and many fics here when I have time. Vana, are you a beta? When I wrote my fics I didn't have anyone to beta them so I would love any advice you and anyone else can give me. I'm also open to constructive criticism. Again, any help is appreciated to improve my writing! I'm very grateful for the encourgement to post my stories and so now I have the courage to do it! I would write more but I have a headache. Talk to you all later! (((hugs)))

I'm not a "beta" per se. I know enough grammar to keep me looking semi-intelligent . I'm better use for plot ideas and answering questions. So, if you need any help in those two areas, I'm here! As I said, I'm a PEF, so that's my specialty. BUT, I adore research (History major!), so feel free to ask questions about Hobbits, too. I'm always up for learing more about Middle-earth.

Vana, you helped me tons with my first fic (here on this lovely Archive that saved my "fangirly"  tendencies). You know a lot about "beta"-ing.

I think that's the sugar talking) as well as a Pervy B&A Fancier as well (not slash just a fancier of Boromir and Aragorn (respectively and seperately) I thank well Artanis for her Avatar)....sorry I'm getting  Tired. it's 1:14 in the morning currently. Please do post your fics, would love to read them! Welcome to the Chaos that is OSA and we're all one happy uh....connection of fans and people that is like a family in many cases but not sure how to word that. I shall stop now. 
Welcome again!
