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! |
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! |
Hell... I'm the youngest on this site mind you! Not even 18, short, proud smut-reader and Elf Fancier!
Urm.. just don't tell my parents that! Lol!

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. |
and you guys say you don't all know each other!!! HA!  don't know each other my arse! You're all bloody interconnected in some kind of weird, fanatical cult ....... wait, that sounds fun... can I join?  heehee... anyway, besides using Google I really don't remember much about the first time I found OSA (and I SWEAR there was no alcohol involved... I was born with that state of mind) but I'm glad I did. |

My best-friend and Beta-reader and I spent months whining about the lack of het/lotr sites. I'm sorry, I just don't see Merry and Pippin that way. They are good friends. Accept it!!! (I must admit to some questions regarding Frodo and Sam... and well, obviously Haldir.) But Boromir is so NOT gay.
Anyway, we actually started building our own site (well she did. I'm computer handicapped... so if this ends up all screwy or in the wrong place you already know why,) but she finally found this site and directed me your way. I have to say this is beautiful both in content and design and I am your new greatest fan.
I'm looking forward to hours of life-wasting, happy browsing and some actual feedback.
Good people inhabit this site. I posted last night and already have THREE reviews (more than i've gotten after a month on adultfiction.com.) By the way, I don't fear negative feedback, as long as it's somewhat constructive!!!
Love you, love the site... and love Boromir (just had to throw that in there.) |

Was reading fic off Scribes site, joined her group, saw announcement this place had opened and joined.
Robbo wanted quizzers - i was bored. He hooked me up with Andreth. I died and went to heaven!
Its only been recent that we have all un cliqued and bonded. You newbies are just in time!

I came here as a result of a post by dolarabee on the "Brothers of Gondor" message board at The White Tower (http://www.thewhitetower.net/bf1/) announcing the opening of a new non-slash fanfic archive. I liked the sound of a slash-free zone, since LOTR fic is, as the opening page of the site says, inundated with it.

I found this site in my email, a friend sent it to me and boy am I glad she did! Have to admit though that I'm up reading when I should be sleeping and reading when I should be working and ... well, you get the picture.
I'm having fun going through the fics by author, from the members list and hope to post one of my own here one day...if I can ever finish the darn thing. lol
Everyone here is so nice so far, I'm almost expecting the bubble to burst or to wake up from this nice dream of a place with no slash. *vbg*
I do have a question though, if there is a same sex couple mentioned in a fic, but doesn't show romantic interactions of said couple, is that still gonna rate the fic as slash? I came across one like that a few days ago and was wondering if that was a grey area maybe.

ok. I guess I have to be honest. So here it goes:
I write poetry, songs and some stories but the stories I mainly write are visuals or what I affectionatly call sex stories. Well, my best guy friend wanted one of my sex stories written for him with another guy. He's as fruity as a fruit cocktail but I love him anyway lol. Anywho, I've tried to read slash but I'm unable to make myself read it yet. So I went in search of sites that carried adult fan fiction with some slash but mostly het. I then remembered a story I had read on aff.net about aragorn and eowyn and I decided to search for Lord of the Rings adult fan fiction on google. Well this site popped up and I decided to check it out and the rest as they say is history! lol Sorry this was a such a long response!
