Hi everyone! I am new to this site and I thought I'd introduce myself! I have always been a huge fan of Lord Of The Rings, I first read the books when I was eight. This is my first time on a LOTR fanfic site, so I'm not really sure what to expect!
I promise though, I make a point of reviewing pretty much every story I read. And I read a lot.
I also hope to write something of my own soon, so it would be nice if everyone returned the favour *hint hint*. At the moment I am feeling a little intimidated by the quality of the work on this site, and I'm not sure I'm ready to expose my work to public scrutiny.
My real name, by the way, is Lucy. My all time favourite character is Legolas, but I love all things elvish. |

Well! You've started right to the top, then. I'm Nancy and, don't worry, I've been (obsessively) frequenting OSA almost since its inception and I still don't know what to expect.

And you already know how to play nicely with others! Gold star for you, Kiddo.

OSA is a good place for beginning writers and/or posters. We try to be supportive and constructive.

Oh! That's what I love about Newbies!  They suck up so nicely!

No names! No names!

No Legolas! No Legolas!
Oops, sorry, got carried away, there ... 
Welcome to OSA.

LOL, Nancy you are amazing! 
Hi Arwen Undomiel, 
welcome on board here. We wuv reviewers! I personally am a reader who reviews straight after she reads it, well that is if my little guy doesn't make demands in between. But besides that 
Read, enjoy and Celegorm wants to know if you fancy more elves than Legolas alone since you love everything elvish

Oh sure, there is nothing more fun than that! Although that is not my main reason to review, I just love to see writers bouncing around in happiness.

If it is betad, not Mary Sueish and such (check the guidelines), you'll be fine.
Have a great time here!

Ready for a dose of irony? I opened this thread just as "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" came up in my mp3 player.
And on that strange note, welcome to OSA. I'm Neume, Neu for short. I was pretty intimidated by the fic here when I first joined too, but like Nancy said, it's a good place to start. There are people here [cough-Nancy-cough, cough-Rhapsody-cough] who know their crap, and people like me who ask a few questions and fake it. Yay for reader-reviewers too! We seem to run short of those at this time of year.
If you're up for a kick-arse elf fic, check out Alliance by Spaceweavil. It's an Elrond/Celebrian fic- and SO much more. If you can't find it in the archives, check my Recommendations list. Another one I've enjoyed was When Trees are Bare by Jael, a Thranduil/baby Legolas story (also on my Rec. list).
Enjoy your stay and when you're ready to post something for us to review for you, be sure to check out the Beta Reading thread for pre-posting proofreading help. Then, stop by the Shameless Self-promotion thread so we can all go read it!
Welcome aboard,
Neu

Welcome to you on OSA, Arwen Undomiel.
I'm Isadora22 and I'm too a true blue deep fan of Lord of the Rings. The Trilogy have almost no secrets for me. I read the books so many times because it's my favorite ones. I'm myself a writter supported by one of beta readers and I can say that the challenge is good. At last, you have chosen the right place to stay. It's been a week from today since I chosen myself to stay on OSA and I just wonder the story that can be found here. Lots are WIP (work in progress). Sorry if my writtings are a little bit hard to be understand, I'm a French-Canadian and not an English one. I just cook with that as my ESL. The best to do as I can say it's to do you very best to write and to be supported on beta reading before to post something here. Finally, I was just wanted to tel you welcome.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. Not trying to advertise or anything *cough* but I have started writing a story and I hope to post it soon! It is going to feature the incredibly sexy, gorgeous, amazing, wonderful Legolas!
Yes, shameless aren't I? |
