Welcome! We're always happy to welcome new authors! More stories are always good  If you're not too sure if your story's ready to post, go to the beta thred in the forums, and start a "Looking for beta" thread. Include a little bit about the plot and story line, what characters you want to incorporate, etc., and someone will be happy to help. You can also look for threads posted in there by people who want to beta. I don't mean to ramble  , I just wanted to make you as welcome and comfortable as possible, since you put that "shaky hands" bit in there.
On another note, what kinds of fic do you like to read? To write? Favorite characters and why they're favorites? Things you love or hate to see in fanfic? In other words, could you tell us a bit more about yourself? We don't bite! Promise! (Well, only if you ask nicely.....)  |

A fanfic fan that wants to try her hand at writing! Well you are in the right place. I haven't posted any stories yet, but have done some beta-ing. This is a wonderfully supportive community to try your hand at fanfic. They are very enthusiastic and will gladly help with anything you can think of. Want to know what obscure courtly rituals might have been observed in Gondor? start a thread and you'll be delighted. Want to use a phrase in an elven language but even your native tongue is not your strong point? Ask and you shall receive.
Oh and welcome (I will do it anyway) HOWDY!!!!!!
looking forward to your first story. New thing started here is the drabble challenge, 100 word short fic, see bottom of home page for challenges. Have fun!!

Welcome Misty,
As Gollum might say: "More readings precious!"
Can't wait to see what you have written.
And another Howdy from Texas.

Welcome to the fun, my dear! Lots of friendly folks about (as you can see) and many more than willing to help and to read new authors like yourself! So come on in and don't be shy:)

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I do have a couple friends that are helping me get started, but I will be sure to follow your suggestions.
My number one love ? Elves. *grin* I tend to like more au, but like canon as well. I am more interested in writing stories that are more stand alone, rather than incorporating existing canon events in them, if that makes any sense. I mean, the Ages cover a lot of years, lots of spare time in there for little stories.
Thank you again for the warm welcome!

Welcome, young PEF
*contemplates gathering her minions* I've been slacking, there are far too many of you about, still unconverted to the dark side!!
then again... *shelves plans of cyber-world conquest on behalf of PHFs everywhere* Far too much more fun to drink and read/write smut 
*awaits new posts eagerly*

Would you look at this crap? Can't get any of these heifers to update to save your life but they can come in here and write a 12 page solilolololoiloiliquy on how wonderful writing is. Where's that damn cattle prod??  <<Post prodding look.
HOLA Stimyflutterby, I had menudo and 12 coronas fer breakfast, what'd you have? 
No canon, huh? Well, just remember, every time you forget about Curufinwe, Eru ties Caranthir and Orophin's girlfriends up with hithlain.  Okay, Al and Haleth will be in here shortly to take me out and have me shot, so I'm

Ah, another elf fan. Excellent....
Welcome to OSA, though I think we've sort of spoken in the forum before. Looking forward to seeing your stories, and if you need any assistance, feel free to ask on the forum. We try to give as much help and support as we can. I tend to offer my services as an elvish translator, if that would be useful - makes up for the fact that I haven't updated anything in a long while.
Anyway, come on in and join the mayhem!
