Hello there,  Don't worry, if they killed for making mistakes I'd have been dust in the wind a long time ago... 
Don't be afraid to ask questions, there is some good reference material and a lot of people who know their stuff in the fourms here.   weather you like the books, the movies, or both.
The other inmates, er, members will be along shortly to say howdy and give tips and bits of wisdom  (that was hard to type with a straight face)

We don't kill for mistakes. However the dutchess might red-pen you to death for punctuation abuse! Just teasing. I would strongly recommend the use of a beta. The very best writers here have great beta's to make sure they have their writing in the best form possible. There is a forum for requesting Betas so I would shop for one!
Welcome to OSA! So let us a little about your self. Are you a PEF, PHLF, PHF, PMF, or PDF? (Pervy Elf, Horselord, Hobbit, Man, or Dwarf Fancier) No matter what your preference is...OSA has the best stories for them. First Age, Third Age, no matter - we got them here! Plus we have some of the wisest peeps around to give out advice and fun people to play with on the forums.  So once again, WELCOME!!!!! I'm Al, a PEF and PHLF, purveyor of smut galore!

Welcome to OSA!
As everyone's said, we're not that bad when it comes to mistakes (believe me, I have made some doozies). We've got forums for beta reading if you're worried about mistakes - just drop a post in there and you can get someone to check over your fic before you post it. Second pair of eyes can often spot stuff we miss, and it gives you that extra peace of mind knowing that someone else has checked it (go take your own advice, Space...)
The only thing I tend to point out is when people make mistakes in their Sindarin or Quenya grammar, but I'm trying to stop doing that as it shows how very very sad I am and how dull my life is that I can spot an error in Elvish without looking it up to check. 
Anyway, have a great time here, and if you do decide to read any of the stories on the site rather than just purely posting, remember to drop the author a review - it makes their day
All the best
Space Weavil

No, she's not, but I do mean to be helpful ...
Welcome to OSA, Alaya. Whether you're here to read, write, or both, I think you'll find OSA a very welcoming place, especially to newbies. First we pet, and then we slap ... (now I'm kidding).
But, are you a newbie? Been lurking awhile, have you? Actually, I bet she has a veritable library of her own stuff squirreled away somewhere and we're all about to be smacked upside the monitor with a whole bunch of new stuff to read. That's it, isn't it? All this "don't hurt me I'm a newbie" is just a bunch of crap ... sorry, I had my lunch late and the carbs haven't worked their way up the brainstem yet.
So, like I said - Welcome to OSA,
See? sometimes I even chastize myself.

LOL Nancy!
Hey Alaya, thanks for introducing yourself. I already forgot what Random fancier I was again, but I like all. Just a warning, buckle up for the sillyness that will, inevitably follow soon. I suspect mostly in the form of Ghettoelleth...

Hello Alaya,
What is your fancy? People really want to know such things.
As for myself I'm crazy for the elves.
But I guess the elves are not for me 'cause when they see me they are  hiding. So then I make a comment about elves not being my thing. So they then come and talk to me. I guess they warn each other about me. What have they to worry about? I would just give them free tubs of

Well, thats nice to know. Actually, I'm still working on that library of LotR. J/k. Wish I could, though. Hmm....a red pen...grr, I get enough of that at school. That sucks. Don't worry, I know you mean well, so I'll survive.
As for 'fancies', lets see....I admire dwarves, hobbits(Particularily Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin.) most humans, (It really sucked that Theodan died.), and elves. Me encanta LotR in general. Sorry, don't know spanish for 'in general' and 'Me encanta' means 'I love'. Just so ya'll know, I'm in my second year of spanish, just to warn you. Heh heh.
Thats it for now.
P.S. I AM NOT A HELPLESS NEWBIE!!! Lol...seriously, I'm not. I was just confused.

Ah yes, showing up unfashionably late is just So Me this week... and it's only Tuesday. <slap! Snap out of it Neu, she'll think you're nuts! Oh, right. Crap! Starting over...>
Hello Alaya. Welcome to the jungle- I mean mad house- I mean, forums. Hope your official emergence to the insanity has been entertaining thus far. Speaking of entertainment, here at OSA, just like llamas, sometimes... we spit. You might want to keep a towel near by just in case you happen to read something funny while drinking (I'm partial to Jack n' Cokes myself, but to each his/her own.) and do a spit take all over your computer. I found out the hard way that especially with laptops, that can be deadly. (Grape juice in your processor= Not Good!  )
Welcome again,
Neu
