Hello everybody!
I'm not exactly a newby anymore, I've even posted, but I'd like to say hello properly  .
I had no idea that there's something like fanfic until I got my own internet access some weeks ago. Ignorant me!
But since then I've looked at some sites and I like this one best ... I have to say that here, haven't I  ? But it's really true.
What else can I say? I'm a Tolkien fan since I managed to finish the books when I was about 14, my first reading attempt some time earlier ended in Bree, as I had a German edition which was quite nice but had terrible pictures in it which made me think the book couldn't be good. (Again: ignorant me!)
Now I'm a bit older (not that much, although I discovered some very disturbing ... things .... on my head 10 weeks ago). Some kind people try to assure me that they are blond, but... arrrgh, they aren't... age is getting me far to early.  Well, perhaps wisdom will come with it...
Again, hello everybody *offers banana-oat-honey-cinnamon-muffins to everyone who likes (yes, they taste quite good)*! It's nice to be here. |

Wilkommen! Glad to see you here. How's the German version of LOTR? I thought about getting the German edition just for the heck of it since I need to keep up and stay fresh with German. Hopefully they got better pictures for any new editions they printed!
Will you be posting any lengthy stories? Your drabbles are good!

Welcome to the OSA! I know what you mean about liking this site best. This is the only one I've joined. And I did my share of wading before finding this place. The people are great, the fanfic is enjoyable, and it's a lot of fun!
Well, I better spin into my welcome speech. It's almost become expected.
*Ahem* Welcome to the forums of the OSA! We hope you'll enjoy your stay. I am Shanalir. My function (although I use the word loosely) is to help familiarise you with the general craziness we sometimes spiral off into here. I also run the local Sense of Humour Lost & Found and Locker Room. We reccomend that you bring your sense of humour when you visit the forums. Some people (myself included) may not make a lot of sense if you don't have your sense of humour with you. If you lose it, check the Lost & Found. People here a really very good about turning in any stray sense of humour found wandering around. We also get the occasional plot bunny.  If you forget your sense of humour, the Lost & Found usually has a few loaners available. Be careful of the loaners, though. Some of them are a little warped.  Adjacent to the Lost & Found is the Locker Room, with lockers available for temporary storage of your sense of humour, should you need it. We're also thinking about Locker Rooms for your Sense of Drama, Sense of Angst, and Sense of Confusion. Those will probably be in the thinking stages for a while, though. We're still trying to recover from the addition of the Locker Room. 
In conclusion, enjoy yourself and Welcome!!!

Hey Nienor!!! I have seen you around the stories section and you have reviewed me a couple of times but welcome to the forums! 
You will soon discover that the writers are a little mad - mad in a  way not mad in a  way. But we all like to have fun     and we are glad for anyone to join in. Don't trip over the hobbits of the PHFs - they get really testy about that.

*clears throat* I mean ..... welcome and I hope you enjoy your time here, please keep your arms and legs away from the authors!

24 reviews in a month ... you have been a very good do-bee, Nienor. Anyone who announces themselves in that way is okay in my book (which is very big and has entries on all of you  ).
Welcome,
NB

Welcome, NB |
Its official, I have come full circle. Along with the chapter dedicated to me in the stalking laws section of the penal code and my own illness in the DSM IV, I can now say I've lived my dream.
Hamsters  what's gots mommies....*sigh* she gets away with more than most cuz she's cute. I wouldn't try that joke at home.
Nice to see that Shan's still loving her appointed post and not just phoning it in now. But Binks, honestly, try and keep it brief, would'ja?
Oh, and welcome Nienor. If you like teh pr0n, come join us at V.V., we're up to our pits in it.
