Hi there ! 
Just dropping in to say Hello to everyone ! Looking forward to spending some quality time in the forum with fellow LOTR fans because my family and friends all think I'm nuts and they just don't get it Ah well...........*sigh*
Love the books, love the films, love reading and writing fan-fiction, even love the little action figures ! and no sensible woman my age should be playing with dolls, but then I'm not always sensible !! 
Bye for now !

Welcome to the gang Laiquendi!  You will find many of us are thought to be nuts by our friends and family for our LOTR obsessions and I am sure that more than half play with the action figures (I don't because I keep mine in their mint packages!  ). I guess you are one of us now.
So are you a PMF, PHF, PEF, (Pervy Man, Hobbit, or Elf Fancier) or just love all of them?
PM me if you need help finding an avatar!

Hi there Ladies !
Many thanks for the warm welcomes ! good to know I'm safely tucked in amongst fellow loonies !
So Texasgirl , can these dues be piad with mithril, lembas or just plain old Gondorian Dollars ?
Oh Alassante ! decisions, decisions !
Got to go with being a PEF, what can I say, I am weak and those elves are just too damn good looking and all tall and sexy, with all that silk and armour , those big swords and bows.....ahem..........ok shall stop now !
But coming in at a very close second PMF, who can escape Aragorn's rugged looks ? Eomer's dark fierce glare ? Theoden's soft husky voice ?.....okay now I really will stop this time !
Apologies to all those Hobbit fanciers out there - don't kill me
Oh avatars .cool will send you PM with all due haste , Thanks !
Bye for now,
Laiquendi.

Alassante, you forgot to mention that several members are thought to be nuts by the rest of us 
Laiquendi, a little note that I try to pass on to all new members, please be sure to bring your sense of humour whenever visiting the forum. if you do happen to forget it on occasion, or it ends up missing, we should be able to find a spare one for you to borrow. (Be careful of the loaners, though. some of them tend to be a little warped.  )
But overall, Welcome!

You forgot the Miruvor and the mead ... but, personally, I accept whatever will get me a bed in Minas Tirith (preferably Boromir's). See, what TG forgot to tell ya, Hon, is that it all depends on who you are paying ... or, wait ... that's extortion.

Again, needing that sniggering-up-its-sleeve emoticon ...
-NB, looking forward to reading Laiquendi's fic, even if it is elf-centric

Ah Shanalir !
Sound advice my friend and thank you for the offer !
Have already packed two suitcases, now bursting with 'sence of humour' - so it's Hi ho Hi ho ! it's off to the forums I go !
My dear Nancy !
We 'sensible mature' types have to stick together ! there's safety in numbers !!
So trying to get into Boromir's bed are we eh ?
Well I've got my eye on a cosy one-bed talan in Eryn Lasgalen, wonder how much that'll cost me ?!
Now it's off to spend more 'quality' time in this realm of madness !
Hope you enjoy the fic, it's just very recently posted !
Take care
Laiquendi.

Hi Laiquendi
Welcome to OSA and to the forums. Hope you have a great time here. Looking forward to reading your fic, once my RL stops intruding on my (far more important) fic reading time, 
Any questions you have, don't hesitate to ask. We try to help...even if we do (sometimes) stray a little from the point  What was I saying again? Oh yeah...
Anyway, welcomes
SpaceWeavil

Well late but certainly not last,
HOWDY!!! and welcome obssessed LoTR lover !!!
those actions figures are for kids --- of all ages. Mine are still in their boxes waiting fro my bookshelves to be built so they can come out of their packaging to grace the shelves among the Tolkien tomes.
I have been know to keep one of my kids action figures on my desk, purely for "inspiration"! LOL

Hi Spaceweavil !
Appreciate the welcome ! enjoying myself already ! hey that's one whacky do Elrond's sporting ! definately would have added a spark to the wedding ceremony !
If you do get a chance to read my fic that would be great ! I've three weeks left until the Summer Hols and then my work is over for another year, looking forward to doing lots of reading too !
Bye.
Hi Yavanie !
Obsessed - yep that's me ! you know you've just given me a great excuse - thanks ! Next time visiting friends/family catch a glimpse of my computer desk (which is slowly disappearing under a mass of LOTR 'stuff') I'll just say "What ?! It's my inspiration !"
Thanks again !

Sounds familiar. I have two weeks of exams and then I have several months of freedom at last (job permitting of course). I'm hoping maybe finally I can get settled to doing some reading and writing.
As for action figures, having just got my Dark Galadriel figure in the post, and having opened it with childish squee so I could watch her eyes light up in green and then find her pride of place somewhere in my tip of a flat, I can't really say anything...
My favourite though is by far the talking Sauron's eyeball.

Damn straight Nancy!
Bt you can keep Boromir, hell, GONDOR to yourself...as long as I get MY elf.....
So you see Lai....mithril is pretty, but lembas and gondollars are pretty useless here.
Give me Haldir and an hour and I'll die happy.

Okay, that post was a little too off in TGland.
What a terrifying place that is for the rest of the world.
