Hello everyone, I just joined up a few days ago and Nancy Brooke suggested I stop in and introduce myself. So here I am! 
What should I tell you, hmm? I'm a thirty-*mumbles* year old female from the Western New York area. I've been writing since I was seven but only recently started posting my work for others to see. I managed to evade Tolkien fanaticism until TTT was released on DVD, and that was the beginning of the end for me. 
So far I've read LotR and skimmed a lot of the supplemental books (Unfinished Tales, PoME, BoLT2, etc), The Hobbit is next on my list, followed by the Silmarillion.  And of course I've seen the movies enough times to be able to quote chapter and verse.
My favorite characters are Boromir, Boromir and Boromir....*oops*  Sorry about that, let me start again. *ahem* My favorite characters are Boromir, Faramir, Pippin and Merry. I hated movie!Denethor but liked and felt sorry for book!Denethor. The way his character was ripped to shreds irks me no end. To a lesser extent I feel the same about Faramir, though I understand why PJ chose to portray him that way.
So far I've only written two stories, and I'm seriously behind on my WIP. RL decided to take a huge bite out of my butt a while back, and I'm only now getting back into the swing of things.
I look forward to getting to know you all and enjoying the wonderful fics here.
~Dina |

| Welcome to Open Scrolls Dina, I hope you have fun here. I've had a look at some of your postings and anyone who loves Boromir, is always welcome I say that with no bearing on the fact that he was potrayed by Sean Bean in the film....nope, no bearing at all. |

A falsely accused evil ninja clan I assure you, we just get bad press. I just have to jump onto every newbie thread to make sure people are not getting "warned" away from me or telling bad stories on me. Everyone knows I am the picture of innocence!
Welcome Dina. You will have fun on this site - stories and forum threads. If you like Boromir I assume you know how to do the search feature on here and find you all of the boromir you can handle. I have done a story on him as well but it is one of my earlier works so it needs some serious help (gonna revise it eventually) and it has evil Denethor in it so you might want to steer clear of my story!
Just remember to review what you read. We are all a bunch of review ho's around here. I will check for your stories and watch them (watch feature) for updates. Good luck and HAVE FUN. That is what is all about - the writing and the fun!!

Welcome to the forum Dina! I'm Eyborg, the Pervy Hobbit Fancier representative on duty today. I too am a huge fan of Pippin and Merry  Having said that, if you'd like to read some good Pippin & Merry stuff, check out SilverMoonLady's stories. They're awesome! (Especially if you're into "adult" stuff). You might want to check out mine as well, he he
Anyway. Enjoy yourself!  |

Welcome to the madhouse

Thank you for the welcomes. So far I'm enjoying my stay very much. The quality of fics on this site is fabulous.
DEC, thanks for the warning, I'll watch my back. I'll PM with you a question about avatars as soon as I figure out how. 
Scribe, you sound like me. Nope, Sean Bean has nothing what so ever to do with my love of Boromir. *heh heh* Thanks to the movie I don't care if the book does say Boromir is dark-haired and grey-eyed, to me he'll always be a green-eyed blond.
Alassante, I've been using the search feature mercilessly now. I'm sure the poor thing is about to drop from exhaustion. I'll definitely check out your story. I can read evil Denethor, I just see him differently. And as for your revising it, I don't think anyone is ever completely finished with their work. My WIP I just posted is the fifth version of it I've written! And I, too, am a review ho. Can't get enough. Have been known to hit refesh several times a day to see if a new rate/review has been posted. So I will definatly let authors know how much I *loved* their work. |

Make sure you see ArtanisOrangeBlossom's avie (Yes she has brought it back! Woohoo). Her infamous avie has its own forum thread. Its is the butts of the major men - including Mr. Sean Bean himself! Scribe - don't know if you have seen this one to drool over yet. Here is the thread..
http://www.openscrolls.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1389
But don't even get me started on Karl's. Cause it could get ugly.  Sexy men should learn the value of waxing BEFORE they show their a** in a movie!
Yes - Yavanie - don't you love my Elrohir avie? Just makes you think all durty thoughts about him.

Ok, looks like some posts snuck in on me before I hit the send button.
Eyborg, thanks. I'll check out SilverMoonLady's work. And yours too of course!
Yavanie, howdy and thank you. After snarfing a hot toffee latte once while reading my email I've been careful to keep all food and drink far from the computer. *runs off to check out shameless self promo thread.* |

And I love both of them and encourage you all to go check them out. They are insightful character studies, well written and not too long so a good way to get to know Dina.
And, again, Welcome Dina!

What could get ugly? Karl's arse or your devotion to it?

Thank you Nancy! Uh...I guess I should go update my WIP since you just reccomended it, huh?
And I want to thank you for telling me about the Forum. I didn't even notice it was here.
