Hello. I'm new. I'm a creative writing and theatre major in Podunk Nowhere, Ohio [don't look for it on a map, it's too small]. I write a lot of stuff, but I got bit by the Fan Fic bug about a month ago and realized "Holy crap. What am I doing?" I can handle my own made-up characters, but taking on Tolkien's has me... rather overwhelmed. Once I read a little more specific to these pages, I'm also willing to proofread and give opinions for others. I'm guessing that's what "beta reading" is but like I said, I'm new to all this. Feel free to IM or PM me, my contact info is available in my profile. Happy writing all.

Welcome to OSA! 
If you like to read and give opinions - drop by my stuff anytime! I am such a review ho! Then again....we all are. But since I was here first, just ignore those that follow me! 
I am sure you will have fun here as long as you accept the fact that we are all nuts and proud of it.
Oh and since I am here first and it has been a very LONG time since I was first one to post on a newbie thread- I just have to say (cause it makes TG and Ya crazy when I do this)
HOWDY!!! 
Hate the game girls...not the player...

Welcome! I'm the resident sense of humour wrangler  and proprietor of the Sense of Humour Lost & Found . If you lose your sense of humour, come see us. If you forget to bring it with you when you visit, check the Lost & Found, as we often have loaners available. Be cautious of the loaners though, we think some of them were lost for a reason. We're almost done with our expansions, so soon we'll have a Sense of Humour Locker Room for temporary storage of your sense of humour if you need to put it away somewhere safe for a while.
And this is only the beginning of the madness.........

Welcome!
Just bitten by the bug? Boy-o, are you in for it now ... First you're reading, then writing, then beta-ing, then - before you know it - you'll be spending all your time chatting on line to like-minded geekaziods ... oh, wait ... 
You have risen to your true level, NeumeIndil. Here you will truly be appreciated for your idiosyncracies, specific character likes/dislikes (evidence: poll above); knowledge of minutiae, adherence to rules of grammar/spelling; ability to criticize and take criticism; and overarching love of things Tolkien. At least I know I have been. 
But watch out - one fandom is never enough!
Cheers - NB

And in such good and admirable company!!!!
and my two cents::: HOWDY!!!!!
that said, don't get overwhelmed by writing in Tolkien's wolrd. His is a wonderful sandbox to play in and when you want more complex toys to play with crack open a copy of Morgoth's Ring, read lace, cry and then try to follow it, or just burn it and write a good story by fire light. Welcome to the beta pool, you inbox will be ringing shortly I am sure.
And I am not the pot calling the kettle anything, I really am working on my first fic, even if it will be for Tol Elannon.
Welcome to the asylum!!!

Wow. What an awesome welcome. I'm gonna like this place. Other listservs etc. I've been on have been such... butt heads. Ya'll sound fun, or funny, or funny in the head... or a fun kind of funny in the head maybe, I dunno. I didn't do it, you didn't see me do it, you cannot prove a thing, I want my lawyer! (JK) I'm going to say a little something to each of you who were kind enough to welcome me and then... maybe dinner, maybe the hokey pokey, maybe go write some more, I dunno. I'm sure I'll be doing something somewhere w/ someone though.
Thanks again!
To Alassante (the self-proclaimed review ho): I'll be happy to read and review, but currently I'm in the midst of a landscaping project and consequently won't be doing a "ho" lotta reviewing for a few days. I'll get there, though.
Shanalir: Thank you for seeing to it that those sneaky little devils are always available. My own is 1) Firmly attached to my left little toe and 2) Pretty easy to find, but I will track you down if he (his name is Charlie) decides to head to Aruba for a break like he keeps hinting at.
Nancy Brooke: Thank you and I realize I'm in for it, that's why I'm here. It was this or a funny farm and, well, I don't like clowns so I don't want to see where they're grown.
NB and TexasGirl:
I know what you mean about fandoms. I'm also into "LOST" on ABC. It helps that Dominic Monahan is in it, but the series itself just kinda grabbed me by the seat of my pants. This stuff is addictive.
KrazyKataave: Sorry your computer "bugs" you, but thanks for the welcome.
Yavanie: I'm working on my first fic too. Good luck!!
