Hello fellow fan fic fans. Apparently, I am somewhat of a rarity, a male fanfic (wannabe)writer/reader. I'm not a fan of Slash, well M/M slash but I am only male so F/F slash does have its er... attraction... 
Anyway, I have migrated to this forum/archive b/c it does not have a preponderance of slash (especially Meadhros/Fingon) and has a wealth of writers and good stories, and I have plot bunnies galore that need exorcizing. I am not afraid of a good PWP but I really just like good stories.
My favorite stories are pre-LOTR and 1st Age, especially focusing on the House of Finarfin, (Finrod and Galadriel in particular). I try to stay in-canon with my writing and reading but sometimes run up against the Laws and Customs. I tend to like the theory that the Sindar were less restictive than their Valarian cousins and the Nandor/Avari were downright hedonists.
My knowledge of Pre-LOTR ME is quite good but there are others who are more knowledgeable than I.
Looking forward to reading good Het stuff (all ratings)and hopefully offering some of my own that you will enjoy.

Well hello and glad to have you join our friendly and at times slightly crazed family of writers and readers.  Feel free to jump into the madness and start posting on the forums. If you happen to be a trivia buff, you should really check out the LOTR and Silm trivia threads. They are very active and a great way to learn fun facts about the books.
If you are ever stuck for something to read, you can always take a look at the Shameless Self-Promotion thread which is a good way to find something to read or be lazy like me and look up someone's profile to see what stories they have reviewed lately and then use that as a reading list.
Definitely great to have you aboard and look forward to hearing more from you.

Hello fellow fan fic fans - try saying that ten times fast.  Welcome to the site and I do have to agree that you're somewhat of a rarity. A male who likes F/F slash? Never heard of such a thing....

The power of Tolkien compels you! (said loudly as I throw water from Galadriel's mirror) I'm sorry to break the bad news to you, but you'll never be rid of your plot bunnies. As soon as you clear out the ones you have now, more will appear. I think that's why they call them plot bunnies - they multiply rapidly.

I'm glad to hear that. I've kind of gone that path with LACE in my writings - that the Noldor brought the laws and customs back from Valinor with them and tried to force them off on the no less moral, but less uptight Sindar. It's much more fun to use it as a source of political/social tension rather than just a set of rules to abide by.
Glad to have you on board, Inglor, and I look forward to seeing some of your stories posted.
Anna

First thought:
Excellent, a guy. That should make for some interesting differences of opinion. 
Second thought:
Maybe not; cooler still.
Differing opinions are exciting, similar opinions are encouraging.
Q - Why should either be gender based?
A - they shouldn't.
Ok - and there's my philosophical moment for the day.
O - and please do check out the trivia threads; competition on the LOTR one has definately heated up lately.

Hello and welcome!
Hope to see some of your stuff soon - sounds interesting! You'll never be rid of the plot bunnies, and that's a good thing! The worst thing is when you're stuck in the middle of a story and the bunny dies...
