Hmm...How did I find this excellent forum? Well, through hard work I´ll have you know! I´ve read many, many fanfics in my life and I find myself becoming somewhat fastidious. So, after growing tired of ff.net and the likes I went in search for "new and improved" fics. And, lo and behold!, I stumbled across a quite remarkable place called "Open Scrolls"! Lucky me! 
Love the stories, love the forum. Seems to be filled with the kind of geeky perversion (or perverted geekiness) I thrive upon. 
Oh, I just realised I haven´t introduced myself yet! How rude! Sorry. Anyway, I´m 31 (in less than a month), I live with my boyfriend and our two-year-old daughter. She LOVES Legolas and Gimli, by the way. She has a poster of them in her room which she kisses every day! She also finds orchs and uruks cute. I know... she´s slightly odd...
I am most definitely a PEF, which peeves my boyfriend a bit (since he´s nowhere near being elvish). Well, what can you say... I love him plenty, but I wouldn´t turn Maedhros down. Or Fingon. Or Legolas. Or Glorfindel. Or Rumil and Orophin. Or.... you get the picture!
Dear god, I´m rambling! Sorry! I´ll stop now. |

I too was someone in search of decent LOTR fic that wasn't slash or the Mary Sues which I seemed to find in great hords! Just not my cuppa. Google got me here. Well I thought I had hit the motherload, a wack of stories and the first one I read was like 25 plus chapters, took over a week and was extremely well written. I joined not too long after that.
Having perviously been a major Phile(Xfile) and also tracked some Star Trek fic for a bit, am pleased that this is a friendly bunch here and the stories very well written.
With there being so many characters, ages, etc, I can see that fanfic writing could go on for years and years.
Cheers |

ok... so I found OS through Google too... but I don't remember what I typed to get it. I'm a bit of a freak in this world, since I didn't know what fanfic was until last September ... horrible, I know! I love to read, and since I can't afford to buy books (being a poor uni student who has to beg for food) My roomie intorduced me to fanfic. Once I stopped laughing, I checked it out... and got hooked. I'm 21, now a confirmed PMF (though elves are a nice distraction now and then) and I love this site. Oh... and I'm origionally from Canada (and it seems I'm the only Canadian here) ... though I never really stay in one place long 
BTW... do you guys all know each other??? I feel like I joined a big family and you've all known each other for years... while I'm just a youngling lookin' in! |

I'm not sure about everybody else, but the only folks I knew well coming into this OSA adventure were Maram68 and Miriel (I had heard of others, like Scribe, and admired them from afar). A few other close friends have joined since then, and of course I've met some magnificent folks through this site. Now it sort of does feel like a family, and rather like I've known all ya'll (Texan second person plural) for a long time. |

21 pah! You're still old compared to me! Never mind, we're both old enough to read the NC-17 stuff legally so head over to the Wayward Inn threads that are sprouting up everywhere and get yourself an adopted family.
Welcome to OSA!

Nope, I have been a wee member since Dec 27 (thats not even three months) but I can shove myself into stuff like this pretty quickly. If you annoy the heck out of people for long enough, they notice, and then sometimes even like you. It's odd really... just a result of my anti-shy personality

I've been very lax in owning up to how I ended up here at OSA. I found it via a post Scribe made over at the HA yahoo list and, with her fic the Easterling having been the story that introduced me to the world of fan fiction a year or so ago and quite by accident, I wandered over to see what it was all about. And I have loved it here ever since!
A wonderful group of people who are only concerned with reading and writing wonderful stories, and having fun, and not about who's right and who's wrong and who knows more about Tolkien than so-and-so. You have no earthly idea how much I love this place. (which reminds me to make a donation plug here - buy through the amazon link or make a donation to help keep this fabulous place open! The owners have an August deadline to meet!)
Then I ended up as a quiz admin (although a shamefully lazy one recently) and being dubbed by Robbie as a "pedantic little nitpicker", so I guess that made me perfect for the job!! The Shameless Elf Ho Mora is my partner and she and I get along for the same reason that everyone else here has turned into this tight little family - perverts bond easily because we have no personal boundaries! Just kidding - everyone I've met here has been a great person and I think that's why everyone gets along so well!  |

Hello to everyone reading this...
Like many of the previous posts, I am here because I was on the search for decent fan fiction- that did not involve our beloved male characters, well, slashy situations. My hunt brought me to man.in.the.mirror, a site dedicated to Orlando Bloom fiction, which I soon found infuriating with all of the Mary Sue stories. If I read any more 'Oh my god, Orlando Bloom and Legolas are so hot' stories, I will literally ball up and convulse.
Open Scrolls was listed as a fanfiction link, so I visited the site a few days ago and have since then decided to join, because I have written some things and I need an easy way to get the stories out there... that is if they are good enough to publish. I am new to this whole archive idea, and not the most computer savvy, so I am sure I will be asking many questions.
Anyway, I am online very late... as it is nearly midnight in Arizona right now... I just wanted to say hi, and I so far have enjoyed the stories I have read.
P.S. I mean no harm to Orlando Bloom and Legolas lovers, as I too am a lover of the movie character and book character... I am just ranting about Mary Sue stories in general.
Until Later!
