 Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2006 8:40 pm Post subject: Out of lurker mode at last! |
 |
|
Hi Folks, mae govannen, well met, hello-hello-hello-HELLO!,
Yes I've finally come out of the Lurker's closet and with head raised high, I bid you all halloo.
I've been indulging--or should I say enjoying the work of the fine authors posting to this site for a while now and felt it was high time to join the fun. In other words, I've finally screwed up my nerve and posted my own little fanfic.
OK, brace yourself for an act of shameless self promotion. Please read Dreamflower: Book One-Lalaith (Laughter). Newbie author here dying for feedback. Book Two's life depends on it!
Ok, enough of that. Needless to say I'm a die-hard Tolkien fan and have been one since I was twelve. How old does that make me? HA--I'm not about to date myself that easily. Let's just say, Fleetwood Mac and Styx were really, really big that year. 
Anyway, I'm very glad to be out of the closet--it was getting rather stuffy in there and I'm ever so pleased to make your acquaintance.
Here's to new friendships!

As a BIG Fleetwood Mac and Styx fan (as well as Jackson Browne, Allman Bros. and others too numerous to list) I bid the welcome! 
I guess that pretty well flags me as the semi-old fart I am, but hot women, fast Harleys, and old whisky keep me young. (no, or is it fast women, old harleys and hot whisky, no thats not right, maybe old women, hot harleys and fast whisky, wait, no, whiskied women, overheated harleys and , well, I cant remember...)
Anyway,....what was I doing.......
Oh yea, Welcome to the,,,, where am i again? oh yea Welcome to,, the place we are.... OSA! yea!

Whipping Post! Wooooo!!! ::stumbles through room in cowboy hat with half-empty bottle of Boone's::
Ahem! Heh... Sorry about that; it happens sometimes.
Anyway, welcome! I will scamper over to read your fic very shortly, as I know the endless hunger of a feedback craving. And being a recent addic- er, convert myself, I can honestly say you couldn't have come out of the closet at a better place... time... thing. Enjoy your stay in this little asylum we call home.

Hello Lessien
I'll stay as far away from the whipping post and booze as possible and just say "Welcome to OSA!"

You're welcome. I do believe I'll dig out that LP myself now...

By which I presume you mean reviewing and letting all those fine authors know you've been enjoying their work.

Shameless? Oh, Honey, you're cute - we've got a whole forum section for that!! Right Here

Busted!! We got a forum section for that, too: Age Survey. I think you'll find you're not alone (Tommy my hub has 'Cornerstone' on clear vinyl  ).

Well I must say that was quite a welcome.
I see I shouldn't be squeamish about my age either as I'm in very good company here.
Cornerstone on clear vinyl you say--damn, that's one I didn't collect.
Yeah, yeah, I guess I was a little Styx fanatic back then, as well as Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Kansas, Molly Hatchet, Allman Brothers (TIE ME TO THE WHIPPIN' POST, BABY), etc, etc. And I have the Kate Bush collection to prove it. Now it's U2 that makes me "follow". Preferably old U2 (pre Joshua Tree).

Wait ... but you're in Boston

I know, I know--strange musical tastes for a Yankee, especially one from "Beantown" home of: J. Giles, Aerosmith, Boston, and The Cars to name just a few. I blame my varied and eclectic musical tastes on my brother who is six years my senior. Until I was thirteen he owned the bigger stereo so what he listened to, I listened to.
On another note--I just took the Age Survey. Ouch--only two others in my bracket. Someone pass me that bottle of whiskey that was floating around.

Hey Lessien,
Good of you to speak up finally and say hello. But as far as the ratings and reviews go, it works both ways, you gotta give em to get em. Folks tend to go for the give and take around here, its only fair.
If you're interested in the seedier side of the ficdom, as in the pr0n, come check out our VV. We like reviews in there too
Have fun, and try not to step in any nazgul sh*t.

That lurker closet does seem to get very crowded sometimes. Breath the fresh air again. Hmm...that sounded familar.
Welcome to OSA - have fun writing, reading, rating, and reviewing here! Its addictive.

Hi and welcome! More stories to read...yea!!!!!
Reviews and ratings will come in time. Just do quality work, keep your head up and be courteous. If you read something review it and rate it...and then all that good karma will come back to your stories...well at least a 50/50 chance of it anyway
Welcome again.

Hello Peeps and happy Friday to all,
I have a quick question. Does anyone know the Sindarin word for : Duty? If not, could someone point me in the right direction as to where I can find a good translator?
