Hi. I presume I am the newest newbie, and, as such, I should introduce myself. I discovered this place while searching for well-written Tolkien fanfiction and I am pleased to say that this place definitely fits the bill. Thanks to the admins for developing a haven for great fiction. I look forward to posting my own.

Hello there,
Welcome when my brother Shadowlsayer welcomes you run away quickly. As he turns everyone insane not that I do not do that myself but he is better at it.

Also if you write a story about Faramir expect some major Coming from him. It is rather hilarous really he will treat you like a godess(I'm guessing your a girl) Anyway stay away from men in white jackets or they will take you away from us!! I need my binky! Let's face it once you get welcomed from us life is never the same.

[shadowslayer]

Yeah If It wasn't for you then somebody i guess oh well by tommorow you won't be, so Welcome to openscrolls Alatariel

As believed, I am a female. I agree with you Tylany, your brother is apparently horrible at (at least) writing in the English language. Ironically, he offered to beta my fic...

Hi Altariel,

welcome to OSA Nazgul nrsomething reporting Just a warning ahead, soon the welcoming squad storms in to give you a more fitting welcome then me, since my mind is mucking around in the sewers currently, craving for a bath.

Let us know when your first fic goes up, if you want a beta (always a good thing), do look around in the Betapool thread where members offer their services. Be aware that this is an adult site where threads might spin off into some sort of direction that either involves water, soap, baths, showers, honey, fluid, chocolate or any other kind of dressing, pies, tarts, cookies, fiery Fëanorians in any kind of flavour or skill, marchwardens, Dunedain rangers luring you into a bath, creative hobbits... I think you get the idea.

If it's raining/snowing outside and you wonder what stories to read, just nose around in this thread, the SSP one, where authors warn readers when a new chapter or story goes up. If you're a bit shy about your works, like me, you don't have to announce it there. But don't follow my example and step into the spotlight.

*threathens to whack her hasty riser with the Harbrace Handbook who wants more attention*

That's it for now, put your feet up and have a great time here.

Welcome to OSA! You have come to the right place for good fan fiction. We have some great writers. Ones who even speak/write English correctly. LOL Be careful when choosing a beta for that very reason.

So what do you fancy? Elves, Gondorian Men, Horselords, Hobbits, Dwarves, Ents, etc... I am a PEF and PHLF - Pervy Elf and Horse Lord Fancier. As you can see by my story list - Elves are my favorite addiction!

I'm Al the purveyor of elf and horse lord p0rn. Yes - despite the innocent sounding name, I am as wicked as they come. Wait - Ghetto is just as wicked. She's my partner in crime. She is also the leader of the nine....The OSA Nazgul. Beware of the other nine - I see that Rhapsody has already popped up. She seems sweet too no? Yeah mention a 'hasty riser' and you'll see her true pervy colors are. The others are Nancy, Binka, Space, Ottis, SilverMoonLady, Inglor, our fearless (and slightly insane yet adorable) Ghetto, and of course, and Rhaps. The nine are currently being sought by the Ringbearers (AKA Admin AKA Do, Scribe, and Robbie AKA THEM ) We lurk on the forums and pounce on Newbies, strip search them for the ring, then giggle madly before running away with their underwear....Beware of the nine!!

Hi, I'm Alassante, the ninth Nazgul. (don't tell admin, I'm the undercover Nazgul) Now Ottis will have to come strip search you. I have to go find Fluffy the Fell Beast. He ate my puppy.

I never did get to like Isudor that much yet then again if not for him then i guess there woudn't have been any of the lord of the ring books so for that part i like him but in another sense he is the cause for elronds dislike in men so for that part i think that they should talk more about isuldor's father know of any books or websites i could visit if so you could tell me on this forum or PM me or email me

Isildur's father was Elendil, and for information on him, a good place to start is the Silmarillion, in the part called Alkallabeth (which is the story of the downfall of Numenor).

Personally I think Isildur had fairly bad press in the movie, as all you really saw of him was his succumbing to the ring and subsequently coming a cropper as it were. After reading Akallabeth and the Disaster of Gladden Fields in Unfinished Tales, I have a more positive opinion of him. Rhapsody's drabbles are actually a good place to get an idea of Isildur other than that of the movies, as she's written about some of the slightly more honourable deeds Isildur carried out.

I also don't think Elrond 'dislikes' men (especially since they place a fair part in his genetics, and his twin brother was the first king of Numenor), although I know the 'men are weak' comment in the film hints at that. But Elrond also fostered many of the Dunedain of the north (including Aragorn), and leant arms to the battle against Angmar to help them out.

There's also some information on Elendil and Isildur mentioned in the Lord of the Rings trilogy itself, but once you've read that, The Silmarillion is a fair place to start to learn more about that line, as I've said.
