Legolas
He is kind of perfect, isn't he?
Mysterious, immortal, wicked sense of humour,
40/20 senses, walks on snow, a pairfat gentil elf.

Answer: All of the above and then some.
What's the cat's name?:
WARNING: Insignificant Details Ahead
I live in a country with 11 eleven official languages and scores of unofficial ones besides, each with its own unique culture. Which makes things very, very interesting.
If a Pedi gives you the finger, he's indicating the number one. When this same man rudely enters a building before a female, he is making sure that there's nothing dangerous inside. He will also speak in a loud, ear-splitting voice to make sure that you know he's not gossiping about you, but when he looks you straight in the eye, he's shifty and not to be trusted. Ever.
Back to the languages thingy. By the time we are 3 yo, most of us speak one language, understand one more and are used to the sounds of another two. We use English to run the country, watch TV and educate the masses, hell, some of us even think in English, but all of us prefer to laugh, cry or pray in our very own tongue.
And the point is.....?
Well, Tolkien was born here, wasn't he? |

Welcome to OSA!
I am a newbie myself, but you will find that the members are very welcoming and kind. Please ask questions because you will always get a kind response.
Thank you for sharing. (sigh) Oh, boy, another Legolas fancier, I am afraid! (I fancy the OTHER blonde elf...) 
I, too, am a fic virgin and learning the ropes.
As such, I have very little else to say.

Thank you for your kind welcome. And I'm a lemming, I know.
Haldir? Not bad, but he's too devoted to duty for the likes of me. I do like his descriptions of Lothlórien in the FOTR-bookverse. He's also kind and good-natured, so I understand why you like him.
I'd love to read your story when you post it. Assuming it will be about Haldir, I'd like to see him through your eyes.
Liz
PS: Maybe when I hit sixty I'll grow up, but Legolas is smut looking for a place to happen and I need a daily fix.

Hey Livid, cool name. I live in a country with no official language. Gelatin Parfait???? Get me a spoon. If you like really crap fic, go read mine . I'm sorry, someone has been force feeding me NoDoz and Redbull all day.
Welcome to OSA. Stay away from Alassante, she is evil.

It was my roundabout way of saying I like your avatar. Hey, I'm a reader not a writer. And yes, I did think of the Horn of Gondor story, but only for a second.
I apologise if I offended you.
ghettoelleth
Thanks, got it off a naminator. It was either that or Liz99999.
I don't like crapfic and I've read 'Circle of Hands', no crapfic that! Good job.

It looks like you're getting to know the usual crowd. DEC is the great avatar maker, Ghetto is the story pimp (and my fic is one of her many whores), Alassante should be in soon, she's the smut-writer.  I'm Vana, the nice one. The youngest of the group (I think ... DEC, how old are you?), but definately the most adult.

We're equal then. Unless you wanna have a contest to see who is younger.  Then we can announce our birthdays in the forums and expect presents. (Not a bad idea?)

Yes, please. I'd love an avatar.

ghetto doesn't have to pimp, I'm EASY.
You really are a nice bunch, like Eruanna said before. Thanks again.
It is nearly 5 am and I'm off to work, so I'll see you all tonight
