| Hello my name is Maria. I am glad to be here. I have never been on any kind of forum of any kind. So here goes. I joined in because I loved reading the story of Haldir(my favorinte elf) and Elanor(did I spell that right?). But then when I went to see if there was any more, I said "no",. wheres the happy ending? I hope they finish the story because it is so interesting. I could read it over and over again! It is like a Harlequin romance novel, only better! I am a mother of five whom are all Lord Of the Rings fans,and a grandmother to five, three of whom are also lord of the rings fans. My ten year old granddaughter and my seven year old grandson are fans. But my 3 year old grandson loves to watch the two towers alot because of "Smeagol". But anyways just thought I write to let you know I am glad to be here and look forward to more stories by alot of talented people. Thanks |

Welcome Maria!  Hope you brought your sense of humor to the board. You will need it. There are a bunch of crazies on this site. I, of course, am not one of them. 
Elenor's Revenge was about Haldir/Elenor. Here is the link.
http://www.openscrolls.net/fanfic/story.php?no=597
TG - I am surprised you haven't read that one already. Being a Haldir-ohlic.
Shalinar - yeah, blame it on the baby. She has no way to defend herself.

 Of course it was him! I'll take the blame for just about anything else, but not typo's to that degree. And he's the reason that you got the jump on me with the sense of humour warning. (That was my gimmick, you know  ) You forgot to warn her about the extras in the Lost & Found, though. Maria, we have a Lost & Found for any sense of humour discovered wandering around without a person attached to it. If you forget to bring yours, your more than welcome to borrow one. Be careful, though. Some of the ones that end up in the Lost & Found are a little warped. And some of them we think ended up being "Lost" accidentally on purpose.

OOOH, two posts by TG and because of Haldir on the brain, she forgot --
HOWDY! welcome to the madness! In my house I have 3 hobbits that are LotR fans (yeah, indoctrinate them young) and me and hubby (Rocheron around here) and I suppose we are as obsessed as anyone around here.
Please come and share the addiction with us and don't forget the mantra here: read, rate and review the stories you've read. The authors live for feedback!!
When you're brave enough, you mig ht even try your hand at writing. This is a very friendly place to start that sort of thing. May I suggest a drabble? see the challenges section. If what's been posted doesn't inspire, I don't know what does.
again, welcome.

Welcome, Maria. I do just love it when older folks like me hit the boards ... but, Heavens! girl ... get off that Elf stuff and branch out. There are a lot of great Hobbit, Men, Nazgul and even Dwarf fics around here.

This very good advice comes from one who has yet to put finger to keyboard (as far as fic goes, that is).
Personally, I'm still waiting for something from you, Yav. Where's the fic?

Greetings Maria ! 
Welcome to the collective maddness !
I'm a fairly new member myself, but this seems like a great place to hang out for a wee while. I'm hooked on reading/writing LOTR fan-fiction too, there's some cracking stuff out there !
Although I'm a "slightly older ie; a tinsey bit past the teenage fan-girl stage",member myself I don't have any children of my own, just my three beloved dogs and although they're not LOTR fans, two of them are named after LOTR characters..........well it's an obsession....what can I say ??
Hope you enjoy yourself here !!
Laiquendi.

Welcome to OSA!!!
A lot of great stories here in the archive ... among them some about Haldir (after reading them I started to actually like Haldir while I have barely tolerated him in the movies--yup the stories are really good, converting people like that...).
Have a good time here

Please see the backstory for Tol Elannon (Tol Elannon - an Island), I do not take credit for it's inspiration, as that was quite a group effort, but I did put it down in a coherent (okay that's debatable) form. Also the Butterbur's arrival bit in Tol Elannon (Meet Mr. Butterbur) is mine as well. (okay wrong forum for self promo)..
enjoy!

Sorry, Sweetie, but that isn't reflected in your profile so I didn't know! I meant no disrespect.
And I think any promo is good promo.
