 |
|
Greetings everyone. I am pretty new to the world of fan fic, I wondered in here pretty much by accident, but I am really glad I found this site! I haven't written anything to speak of yet, but I have a whole yard full of what I now know are called plot "bunnies"! I guess because they just sit and stare at you stupidly until you either do something with them or shoot them! I am hoping to get started actually writing soon, until then I am having a blast reading fics! There is some really, really good writing on this site! I've gotta go get some Visine because my eyeballs have crusted over staring at the puter screen for the better part of last night and this afternoon.
Looking forward to getting to know you all,
LadyofRohan
(just call me Roh) |

Welcome welcome, dear lady!
Well, I don't suppose we need to guess where your affections lie, eh?  I can guarantee you'll find plenty of good fun stuff hereabouts; just remember to review when you read, it makes the authors dance and sing and write more stuff!

Although if you'd ever heard me sing, you'd never review me ever ever ever.... 
Hail and well met, Roh, and welcome to OSA. If you look to your left and to your right, you will see there are no exits. In the unlikely event of the site having to land in water, you have to swim with all of us.
Sorry, in a weird mood. Anyway, hope you enjoy your time here, and it's a great place to start out in fan fic. This is the first site I ever posted LOTR fic on, and I was supported all the way, until I became the weird and wacky being you see before you now. Any help you need, just ask.

*tackle-hugs Spacey* You just bring the truffles, honey! Then none of us can sing at all and no one will mind I'm afraid I'd likely get taken in to be treated for some strange version of vertigo or epilepsy if I started dancing...
We'll just have to settle for dancing salad!
  
And drunken bawdies!
See, LadyRoh, we're weird, but friendly

The broccoli...that's about the nearest you get to my style of dancing. That and the final stages of bubonic plague.
Anyhoo, yes, Roh, we are friendly. Only we have to be back in our rooms by 9.30...

Ooooooh, men in white coats. They take requests, you know. If you ask politely, they'll send in the men without their coats. 
Hello, and welcome! I'm Shanalir, keeper of the Sense of Humour Lost & Found and Locker Room. Please check with us if you lose your sense of humour. People here are really good about turning in any stray sense of humour that is found wandering around. We also have a few loaners that nobody ever claimed, if you need one. I'm having to put warning labels on some of them, though.  A few are kinda warped.  
The Locker Room section is for temporary storage of your sense of humour. You come in, sign out a locker, and it gives you a placeto put your sense of humour if you don't want it on you for a while. We're working on drawing up plans for areas for your Sense of Drama, Sense of Angst and Sense of Confusion, too, but those will probably be in the planning stages for a while. We only finished cleaning up from the Locker Room construction.
Ennyhoo, here's some more booze   for you, and another round of welcomes!

The review thing tends to be a mixed bag of opinions, with some thinking you should only leave postive stuff, some saying you should be honest and point out flaws as you see them or what have you. In the end I would just say go with what you feel comfortable saying. Some authors will actually ask directly for suggestions and criticism in things like summaries and author's notes. Personally, I like folks to be honest with my stuff, and if something sucketh greatly, say unto me

I know what you mean, Roh. I started drooling when Eomer took off his helmet. I kept thinking how nice it would be to feel that stubble against my...... uh, cheek. Yeah, my cheek. And no, my husband has no idea of that particular detail!

Lucky for me, we have horses and my hubby rides almost as much as I do...so if I scream "Ride me, Horse Lord!" at opportune moments he thinks I'm referring to him...oh dear, is that too much info?  |

Sorry, Hamster, just got caught up in the moment and the whisky. Thanks for the welcome, and I promise to behave most of the time.

I'm former military, it's hard to give me TMI. And that is really handy, that your husband rides, I mean...... and I'm gonna back out of this particular hole before I get in over my head!

Welcome LadyofRohan,
and let me be the first to say HOWDY!!!
I've got my own horse lord too (though we live in Texas, alas it is in the city, so no horses. maybe in the future). Rocheron has been known to pop in here occaissionally, work permitting. 
so welcome and HOWDY from both of us!!! And yes, this is the best site on the web for LotR fanfic and the best place to get support as a writer, or wannabe writer (maybe someday i'll actually post a story too, soon)
