I hope not, because I'm new.
I'm working through your search mechanism and right now, very overwhelmed by the sheer volumn of fic. I've been a lurker for a while and decided to sign up so I could review.
I don't write and wouldn't presume such, but I enjoy other's fruits and efforts!
By the by, I'm a man-fancier: Gondor and Rohirrim and would like any recommendations. I like big works as well as smaller ones and don't mind WIPS if the author has a habit of finishing what they start.

Of course it is, but the uniqueness of your name more than makes up for it. Is that Ham son of Earlof?

Oh, you are my favorite kind of newbie, you really are!! Any more like you at home?

How can I resist? Start with mine  , of course, which is flagrantly Boromir-centric, then check out (in no particular order) Vilwarin, who specializes in Rangers; Frigg's Eomer/Lothiriel Stories; LadyBlueJay(also Eomer/Lothiriel); Shadow975 (wonderful Boromir stories), and Marta, who writes indescrimately about all the Mens. There are plenty more I haven't mentioned (forgive me, you all), but that should keep you busy for a bit ... then check back for Hobbit and Elf recs!! 
Welcome, Hamsammich!

Hello and welcome to OSA!
I'm Binka, a full-blood PEF, one of the OSA Nazgul and a proud first officer of Beleg's cheering squad 
In addition to the list above, I can recommend NeumeIndil's Gamling/Morwen saga, Rhapsody's stories (Rangers) and Vladazhael's story (Boromir)
Have a lot of fun!

A welcome from m as well, hamsammich. You joined so you can review? You get a hug from me as well. I hope you enjoy your time here, and perhaps you might give us a drabble sometime. It is not that hard.
Oh Nancy, you mentioned me, and I was even the first! I am so humbled Say, am I no the official Ranger-specialist?

Hi there!

Yes... I normally have that habit, if it wasn't for well, demanding muses I see most rec's are made, but I know that imaginigma has amazing Aragorn/ranger fic, estelstheone has a great Aragorn fic, really brilliant. And then there is Senta aka Linda Hoyland who writes great Edain fic too... Oh and Leaward! Must not forget about here.
Well Hamsammich, have a great time reading and hopefully reviewing! If you ever wonder what the authors promote themselves, keep an eye on the SSP thread here.

I LOVE your username! Way to be creative. I'm Neume, Neu for short (obviously I'm not as creative) and I've officially been pimped ^. :blush:
On to the recs:
Katzilla's "The Way of a King", "The End of All Things", and the rest of her stuff. (Eomer drama/angst, and I'm not just saying that because I'm her beta. I'm saying that because she's my favorite Horse Lord author.)
ZeeDrippyVessel's "Rider of the Mark" (Gamling romance and smut.)
Lilian's "These Same Walls" (Faramir/Eowyn in the 4th Age)
Astara's "Going Too Far" (Denethor/Findulias before her death and his madness. AWESOME characterization!)
Lackwit's "Grima Goldentongue" (House of Erol, pre-War)
And I'll second the vote for Vladazhael's Boromir smut "Never" (I'm still holy cow-ing over that one!)
Now, who brought the booze this time?
Seriously, welcome aboard.
Neu

Sorry Neume... my muses and I drank all the booze. I'm trying to get them back into writing again. Pesky little elves.
Hi hamsammich! What a great name. For some reason it reminds me of Joey from Friends. So I guess the question is...how you doing?

Dammit. (grumbles) Bloody Pira- I mean, Elves... 
Okay, plan B... Chinese Take Out! And I might have a bottle stashed somewhere if Gamling didn't get to it first.

Well.... I caught him. Neume, he has some colourful curse words. You can find him next door all tied to a chair and blindfolded. this was Celegorm's idea, before he snuck off to raid Fëanor's wine cellar. Have fun!

Sneaks in while everyone is passed drunk, unties HER Horse Lord and luring him with a fresh bottle sneaks back out the door...
Did I get pimped? Good!
We're off to the coast, folks! Don't follow!
And welcome!

I been pimped! Sweeeeeet. (Yes, I will finish that one, in time.)
Hello, hamsammich! Glad to have another PMF about; the scruffy guys need lovin' too. I've been spending a lot of time myself playing with elves over in the naughty place (the Virtual Village, if you haven't stumbled in that direction yet), but the boys of Gondor isn't that a Don Henley song? will always have a special place in my heart and etched onto my upper back...

I have always admired that.
