Hi there!
Just thought I'd drop in and say hello to everybody here. I'm relatively new to writing LoTR, but not new to writing fanfiction. For about 6 years, I wrote for The Pretender under another pseudonym - but I've burned out there (after a number of novels.)

I'm heeeeeere...  |

Hey, Aearwen, my that's a lot of vowels. Well, welcome to OSA. I know I read one of your posted stories and you seem to be of the Elf bent, but flesh it out for us: what do you like best to write? and to read?
I hope you like it here at OSA. We pride ourselves (sometimes excessively) on being supportive and positive. Looks like you know some of the membership already, is that what brought you here?

Yeah, I do tend to write elves - Thranduil, Elrond, the Sons of Elrond. I sometimes write of contact between men and elves too. Not a lot of Legolas, tho - I leave that to others. I'll read just about anything that isn't slashing canon characters.
I've known of this archive for a while, but I started posting here at the recommendation of alassante at the GoI group, where I participate in the writer's workshop. She said that this is a very friendly and supportive place. After years of just posting into a vaccuum in that other universe, it's nice to see the sense of community that exists with the LoTR fanfic fandom.
Thank you for the welcome.
BTW, Nancy, love your sig line! |

Hey Aearwen!
Glad you see you posting here! I think you'll like this group, even if they are (or maybe because they are) a little crazy sometimes ... a lot crazy a lot of the time, I should say...

There she is!
Reading back, though, I wonder why Al left dwarves off the list. No drunk dwarves? Fooey! |
