 Posted: Wed Jun 21, 2006 4:58 pm Post subject: Greetings all! |
 |
|
Since I'm posting this here, it's obvious that I'm new to this forum and associated website. I was so happy to find a non-slash LOTR fanfic site that my muse woke up and I have already posted a story (Left Behind - in the LOTR bookverse archive).
Let's see, I read LOTR for the first time at age 9 when my Dad gave me the books for a birthday present and have been eihre telling or writing stories in the LOTR universe ever since (let's just say it's been more than [mumblety] years since those paperbacks came into my hands for the first time). If I were a resident of Middle Earth I'd be a Hobbit (as much as I'd love to be an elf, I'm just not built for it, physically or mentally) and probably a Took. The character I identify with most is Pippin, though I appreciate Aragorn, Eomer, Faramir, and Boromir greatly.
I have nothing against Legolas or Gimli but I have found it much more difficult to get into the heads of the Elves and Dwarves than Men and Hobbits. Perhaps I will be able to find inspiration and advice here to work on that...
I look forard tothe new friends I'm sure to make here.

Greetings from a fellow Buckeye! If you're up for some good Hobbit-centric stories, look for SilverMoonLady's stuff. Very nice Hobbity hawtness.  The rest of the gang will be along shortly I'm sure, so brace yourself.
Welcome aboard,
Neume

And what the hell is a buckeye, anyway?
Welcome, new blood!  Err... newbie! Glad to see another Boromir fan among the inmates. Look, Duchess! More of us!

Oh right, now she's going to try and pretend that she's not the one who staple gunned Boromir to the roof of Minas Tirith with the Christmas lights last year.
Welcome to whereverthehellweareIforgetcuzI'mlaughingtoohard, Buckeye person. Are buckeyes anything like buckteeth? Like do people with goiter issues get buckeyes?  I find me highly entertaining. Good damn thing or...

I completely agree with Neume, for hobbit stuff do read SilverMoonLady. Now as for getting inside a head of an elf.... well it can be fun. But there are some warnings too, Celegorm is an elf who doesn't let go of you after it But well dayum he is hot too.
I am more a random perv/writer: rangers, horselords, hobbits (I like Bilbo the most I think) & elves. I love them all 
Oh and what is a buckeye? Is this all about a special ent species? My dictionary says it got something to do with trees.

Well, heh, when I read this I go yum
Of small but interesting note is the Buckeye confection, made to resemble the tree's poisonous nut, which is made by encasing a dollop of peanut butter with milk chocolate. These can be found throughout Ohio, especially as a treat during the Christmas season.

I love those! What's the recipe, like butter, confectioner's sugar, peanut butter and chocolate? Yummmy.  does anyone else think this guy's just lining up to get his share of the pretty paper tabs? or is it just me?

Heh heh Merry Christmas. You wouldn't believe what I had to do to get him to climb up to the roof with me.
Oh, wait... maybe you would...

Here's the recipe I use ot make buckeye candy:
FILLING:
1 stick SOFTENED butter
1 3/4 c. (one 18 oz. jar) creamy peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
About 1 lb. confectioners' sugar
CHOCOLATE COATING:
1 (12 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp. vegetable shortening
Cream butter, peanut butter and vanilla together adding confectioners' sugar until proper consistency is reached. Roll candy into 1-inch balls and place on wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Melt chips and shortening together in top of double boiler. Keep chocolate mixture in double boiler over heat while you dip each candy.
These are very definitely something a hobbit would like. In fact I have Pippin stealing some from his sisters in WIP that I'm not quite ready to post yet. I'm calling them "conkers" for the story.

I'll definitely check them out.
BTW, Boromir has been a favorite of mine ever since I started reading the books. I cried for days after he died the first time I read the books (at age 9). I thought it just wasn't fair <grin>. Well, I still don't think it's fair but I can live with it since I'm old enough now to see the relevancy of his death. Somewhere I'll have to dig out the drawing I did of "The Passing of Boromir," scan it and post it somewhere.
I promise to return Boromir on time after borrowing him, I promise, so please share! Oh dear, what would the overdue fines be if you were late returning him? Time to write a silly fic, I think...
Now where did I put that bottle of ink...

There is a thread out there with more recommendations. I saw it somewhere.
But enjoy Boromir, been always more a Dunedain ranger/Eomer girl. And oh the Swan knights
