Erm, hello. *wave* I'm new here, though I've been a fan of Lord of the Rings for nearly six years. I've watched all three movies and read Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales. I'm much more of a reader than a writer, really.
I'm fascinated with Tolkien's languages. I'm currently trying to teach myself Sindarin, which isn't really working.  However, I've picked up some basic vocabulary an' stuff like that.
I'm also a confirmed Pervy Man Fancier. My favorite character is Boromir, with Faramir and Beregond not far behind. So I'd technically be more of a Pervy Man-of-Gondor Fancier as opposed to all those other types.  If anyone could point me in the direction of any excellent non-slashy Boromir fanfiction, I would be much obliged. |

Welcome friend to the madness that is the Open Scrolls Archive! Please enjoy your stay and don't forget your white insanity jacket.  I'm kidding, nah...we're not all lunatics and we definitely do not bite unless aroused to. *coughs*
Moving right along, I'm a PMF myself, I honestly think that Eomer is a Knightly god like Ares or even Apollo but alas he's a fictional character in one of my favourite books in all time. I much prefer my hobbits and so PMF could stand for Pervy Merry Fancier, though my avvie at the moment is of Gollum...ah well. C'est la vie!

Welcome to OSA.
I'm not overly familiar with any Boromir fics. There are several very good Faramir fics and some excellent Eomer fics.
It would be really interesting to read a good Beregond fic.

Hail and well met, Talagand!
Oh, and don't make some of us feel as "old as an elf." Only six years?

I am partial to those fair-skinned beardless beauties--JRRT's elf-boys. Then there are some Men from the Silm that are swoonworthy...and are worth reading about...
I DO fancy Beren--he was one heckuva mortal, must have been to enchant Luthien.
Oh, and wasn't badboy Turin so beautiful he looked like an elf and was named Adanethel? 
You will like the open spirit of the OSAers...but be warned, we can be...strange!
Again, welcome!

HOWDY, Talagand! Welcome to the nuthouse. Or here lately it has been the penquin asylum.
We have plently of PMFs. They are using skulking about behind the PEF trying to seem non-chalant. Not like the PHF (Pervy Hobbits) who are drunk and rolling around laughing. Its the PDF (Pervy Dwarf Fanciers) that are the scariest I think. Watch out for their leader - Viv.
You will have fun on this site or at least read good quality fiction (as long as you don't read mine - LMAO). Have fun and watch out for penguins.

Good evening Talagand. Let me be the 7th to welcome you to the Open Scroll Archives. Home of the heterosexual coupling of Tolkien characters against their wills and the wishes of the Valar. Please note that no penguins were harmed during the penning of these works of fiction, however, the same can not be said for all the elves who were caned during the process of Al's writing of the twenty seven and one fourths chapters of smut in her fic, "The Elf and the Future King." Thank you, and have a lovely time here in the land of OZ.

You nutcases are no help. I'm drugged and up and I got the question... sheesh!
Hello Talagand. I'm a pervy man fancier, however my perversion runs to the HorseLords... Eomer is hot but Gamling is my little ray of Sunshine. (Self promote here.... Rider of the Mark!!!!!) I also admit having a thing for the Lorien Brothers.
Have you tried the search mechanism at the top of your screen? It's quite good and could probably help you a lot faster than any of us.
Welcome to the Asylum.

Hi Talagand, and welcome to OSA 
Nice to have another reader on board, and just to second what someone else said, it would be interesting to see a Beregond fic.
As for Boromir stories, I don't tend to read a lot of those. I only have one decent one myself (and one not so decent, but then it was one of my very, very early attempts at fan fic) but the latest one that I read was 'Three Arrows to a Broken Heart' by Alassante, author of 'Elf and Future King', which I saw being advertised above. That's a Boromir romance / OFC story whereas mine was a 'little Boromir' story.
Anyway, as well as having stories to read there are also loads of things to do in the forums; we have caption competitions, triva threads etc, or feel free to start a discussion of your own. We even have a thread dedicated to keeping OSA safe and friendly by the use of penguins. (don't ask - long story ). Also check out the quizzes section, where hopefully there'll be a few new triva quizzes to try out very soon.
So, once again, welcome.

Hi, Talagand, I'm Nancy; welcome to OSA. I, too, fly the flag of a PM[G!]F and I think we're in a minority so it's always nice to see another, so long as fights don't break out.

Youze guys is killing me!! With all due respect to those mentioned above, Who among us writes almost nothing except Boromir stories (two of which are romances)?
 Anybody? Anybody?
That would be me. Geeeze. reduced to shameless self-promotion. So, to you, Talagand dear friend, please feel free to read my work; input/reviews from fellow-Boromir fans is particularly welcome. http://www.openscrolls.net/fanfic/authors.php?what=1&no=28
I can also point you to another archive  exclusively of Boromir-centric fic, though some of them are slash - labeled appropriately; pm me if you are interested.
| Quote: | | and just to second what someone else said, it would be interesting to see a Beregond fic. |
Now, I know there's one of those around here somewhere ... reminiscing with Pippin? And there's one where Beregond shows his son where Boromir died. I think Marta was the author but I'm not sure ... I'll look it up.
Also, I would strongly recommend the story of the Day "Requiem for Boromir" by Maya. It's a good one; sentimental without being gooey.
Again, Welcome Talagand.
And, in the future, got any Boromir fic questions? come to me straightway and don't bother with those dabblers. 
PS: "In Memoriam," by Marta (Beregond remembers Boromir's sacrifice. A drabble.)
http://www.openscrolls.net/fanfic/story.php?no=1154
"Truth be Told," by Pearl Took (Faramir learns the truth of Denethor's madness and death from Peregrin and Beregond)
http://www.openscrolls.net/fanfic/story.php?no=118

Okay, an another late HOWDY from my side of Texas (divided equally between me and TG - Al's an honorary Texan and member of the official Howdy Comittee - and current queen of first howdy's)
Anyway, there have been no penguin sitings here today.
Nacy is the queen of Boromir and anything related to Gondor.
If you like men of Godor, I read an intriguing fic on this site about Damrod, can't remember the name of it. do a search for him in the search and stories section and I'm sure you'll find it.
Anyway, welcome aboard and most of these nuts don't bite (most, but you'll have to find that out on your own).

Don't worry newbie - alot of us fell in love with LOTR post Peter Jackson's films. I will stand up and admit it. SpaceWeavil was NOT a fan prior to Hugo Weaving being cast as Elrond!!! snicker snicker (okay that is not true but anyone who knows her probably thought it was funny!!)
Something about Sean, Viggo, Hugo, Karl, David, Craig, Marton, Billy, Dom, Elijah, Sean A, and of course, Orlando Bloom (fan girlies all swoon then drool on the floor) makes everyone want to pick up books from the sixties and read them! Ain't no shame in being inspired by hot guys to read good fiction. Hey, if people were "inspired" by the cartoons, everyone would have thought them crazy. Now adays you can say you are a LOTR fan and everyone in the world knows what that is. Most will say - "Hey isn't that the movie with "insert hot guy name here" in it?". The days of hiding your love of elves (so that people do not think you have a fancination of Santa Clause' workers) are over. Its quite in fashion now.
So no matter how you became a fan or why, welcome to OSA!!!!
Oh, and Happy Penguins!
