Hey everyone. I'm new here, and just thought I'd introduce myself. I love Tolkien's works and can't wait to discuss them with all of you. See ya 'round!

Hi, welcome!!! I hope you'll be having lots of fun and... well, I'm willing to let the senior OSAers introduce you to the exact kind of insanity that thrives around here!!!
Enjoy!

Again with the insanity rhetoric ... 
Welcome, Illyria, to OSA. I am one of the aforementioned seniors (Damn - otteG where'd you put my cane!?) and I'd love some serious Tolkien discussion around here - for a change .
Do you also write? If so, what do you prefer to write about? We're all eager to know so we can start pimping our stories to you (just go ahead - start with mine). And remember, if you read, please rate and review so the authors know you love them.  
Otherwise we live in insecurity  and can be nasty and vindictive  - but not certifiable, don't worry.
You may expect the next ghost as the clock strikes 10 am here on the US East Coast ...

Greetings, salutations and wazzup. Welcome to OSA. Please be advised to keep all beverages of a spitable nature away from your computer while browsing the forums and keep a wiping implement of some sort near by for when spit warnings are not given. Sometimes, we're a little-- okay, a lot-- comical. Will we be seeing any fiction from your pen or are you strictly a reader? Either way, be sure to browse members' recommended reading lists for fast and easy access to some of the best fan fic I've seen on the net.
Happy reading,
Neu

Okay - I am senior to you by less than a month but I know about the insanity - does that count?

Just pretend you are sane.  Not that anyone will believe it but you can pretend. Just like you pretend that Boromir still lives. In your closet....

Hi Illyria from a fellow LOTR and Angel fan. Nice avie. Fred/Illyria not looking her best.  I still have not gotten over the trauma of that show ending (and so soon after Buffy ended).  Between that and the ending of the trilogy - I've got no reason to waste countless hours in front of the TV or movie screen. So - I come here instead. I tell my husband its educational because it is making me think vs. TV that just makes me a couch potato. So far he is buying that story and I am sticking to it!  Welcome to OSA!

Yeah, I know, it works with my fokes as well!!! Every time they start complaining about the long hours I've been spending in front of my compy lately, I just take this serious-no-kidding-now look at them and tell them that I prefer using the hours I would spend in front of the TV in a more productive way, that I'm expanding my horizons and what about living in a world of international interactions?
Sooo, it is probably a good thing they never check out my IE history or something!

Hey, just look at your post count! Mine is still a puny 70 and change... Some of you guys are up in thousands! Thousands of posts! *shaking head*

I've written a few poems every once in a while, but I'm not a huge writer.
And I'll be sure to rate and review as much as I can, I don't want anyone to feel insecure.

I haven't quite gotten over the ending of the two shows either. I'll just have to cope by spending countless hours watching reruns. But, hey I'm not complaining there.

Welcome to OSA Illyria.
Don't believe anything anyone has said about insanity. We are all perfectly sane. In fact, we are all so sane, that we've driven ourselves insane by being so sane. So...hang on...nevermind.
Anyway, come discuss Tolkien. Can't guarantee any sensible answers, but there will definitely be some entertaining ones.

OK, just one....

*Throwing towel over scary avi*
Welcome to...where the hell am I again? I don't see Virgil, so this must be OSA. I'm Nancy...er...Ottehg...I'm the nice one who writes stories about ponies and gum drop faeries.
You can get a sample of my fluffy little stories by reading my most popular Drabble, Forever Nightshade. Its about baby Legolas and his pet bunny.  
I'd like to remind you ladies *coughchokegahahem* the last time we had a serious discussion, we were overthrown by rebels from Yemen. And the time before that, Al had to get stitches and several others suffered from near fatal gelatin toxicity from the Jell-o pit. And...well *sigh* Hammy!
Don't believe Weevums either. 12 step my ass, she had her smiley's confiscated at a sobriety checkpoint. Friends don't let friends use smiley's when they've been huffing air freshener.

I'll get that right back to you Dutchess, Aidan and Belen are teaching the Feanorean boys how to make a growth chart and we were using it as a crude measuring device. Did you know that Caranthir is 1 and 1/4 canes while Curufin is only 7/8ths of a cane?

Hello Illyria, I hope you have a great time here at OSA.
If you are worried about not being insane don't worry.
After two weeks a wacky insanity will be shipped to you free of
charge just hang tight. Soon enough you will want it
gone, but guess what you can't send it back Muwhaha
