Hello all.
I am a, sometimes eccentric, teen writer from the 'good' old US of A. I have been an avid Tolkien fan since my father first thrust his old version of The Hobbit into my hands when I was eleven. I then proceeded to read the trilogy, and am in the process of reading The Silmarillion. I do like the movies as well, but will always prefer the books.
I have been writing Tolkien fanfiction since I first read The Hobbit, but am sorry to say that I do not have most of my earliest work.
Besides Tolkien, I love all sorts of music, and have been performing onstage in operas since the age of six. I enjoy writing original stories, including a wide variety of historical fiction. I am on the swim team at my school and run track.
Talk to ya'll later!

Well met, Ink. 
From another sayer of "ya'll", welcome to OSA. I'll reiterate what Ya said about the spit warnings.
Some of us are strange  ,
some of us are really strange  ,
some of us should be medicated 
and almost without exception, we will at one point or another make you laugh out loud  .
You may also want to consider visiting the restroom before you read new threads too  .
Are you going to post fic for us? No pressure or anything, but new fodder is always welcome, as I'm discovering as I go.

Good Morning!
Eccentricity is never a bad thing, is it? I was about 12 when my uncle got at me to read the Hobbit. Welcome to OSA! Sorry this is so short, but I just got out of bed...  take care!

Welcome to the Asylum! (I'm never quite sure when I say that if I mean 'Asylum' as in 'nuthouse' or the historical 'safe place'.....Either way, it's accurate  )
Ennyhoo, I'm Shanalir,  proprietor of the local Sense of Humour Lost & Found and Locker Room. (I've also been diagnosed as a color wheel addict) If you lose your sense of humour, drop by! People here are great about turning in any sense of humour found wandering around without an owner. If you forget your sense of humour on a visit to the site, check with us for a loaner. (This has become less dangerous since we started labelling the loaners by quirks. So you can tell the dry, sardonic one from the corny, redneck one. Much less confusion then. You don't want to know how many muses have dropped by to thank me for segregating the loaners. Poor things.) If you need to stash your sense of humour somewhere for a while, check out the Locker Room. Also, since we've managed to find an architect who can draw up more than Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam cartoons, we're starting to get plans drawn up for additional Locker Rooms. Eventually, we plan on having a Locker Room each for your Sense of Angst, Sense of Drama, and Sense of Confusion. But that's a little further in the future.
So, the general message here is welcome and enjoy the madness!

Actually, Yav, you'd be the second (there I go, snickering again); check the thread title! This newbie beat ya to it
Welcome, B'Ink, and contratulations on being a de facto member of the Howdy committee for your own thread! That's a slick trick.
Well it sounds like you have all the right qualifications and, obviously, can start right away ... so, welcome to OSA!
We'll look forward to your stories. If you need someone to look over your work (an extra set of eyes is always a good idea) before posting, get thee to the Beta thread. Meanwhile let us know a bit more about you - favorite character? genre? era? region? We're all just dying to pigeon hole you (  - at myself).
Cheers -
NB

: sniffles : Aw, I feel so loved. : passes huggles and cookies to all :
Really, though, thanks for the advice.

Um... I like orange soda. Lots o' sugar.
And I will get around to posting a fic, once I get far enough in my latest one to be comfortable posting some of it. And thanks... I will check out the Beta forum.
Okay, let's see. My favorite character: a tough decision. Either Eowyn (power to the people!) or Aragorn. I prefer action/adventure or romance. My fav region? Ouch. Tough one, there. Rohan, I think, cause I absolutely adore horses and the great outdoors.
Ya'll remind me of my friends out here (yes, I do have friends away from the computor... : gasp : ) which is a good thing, believe me.

Welcome to OSA! I started fanfics of my own when I was a teen too but they weren't that good so I just held onto them.
I hope we can help you with your muse and see some great stories!

Well, I gotta say, when I was a teenager I was this extremely geaky creature with equally geaky glasses and an eternal ponytail that studdied Astrophysics and Quantum Mechanics for a hobby. *sighs* Thankfully, that is no longer the issue, the ponytail has been banished, the glasses are collecting dust in retirement, while my faithful contacts have taken over, and, last but not least, I have picked up some very interesting hobbies, like LotR fanfiction! 
Still, I loved my teenage years and it's lovely to see you here, especially if you come up with some interesting Rohirrim fics!
Either way, let me say "Welcome to OSA" as well!
PS: If any of you guys need tutoring on the theory of relativity or molecular orbitals, I'm your person!  lol

Welcome to Blotted Ink, Open Scroll....shit, it's far too early to be working on my 12th Red Bull, isn't it?
I hope 22simonizedcats didn't scare you, she talks a lot for a little thing. We have Si issues. Been trying to teach our Si's to keep it short and to the point. As you can tell by her post, its an uphill struggle.
Speaking of meds, gotta run, time for Neu's daily buck shot spray of thorazine laced darts. 
Shan?  Let's have some more feeling with that next time, pleeez, you're just phonin' it in now, babe!
Well Blotto...Blotto? Helloooo. Hmm, Where'd she run off to d'ya s'pose? (notice perfect placement of the 's?)

At least there was not a double post involved.
*Hi, my name is simon22cat and it has been several posts since my last double post. I am much better, thank you.*

You want feeling?!?!?!?!!? How's this?
The Lost & Found is to your left as you exit the forum.  I will probably be in the doorway, screaming for assistance.  Please pay me no mind, sometimes the prank jokester  SH's get to me. (Hey, you try being around several hundred entirely different sense of humours, and see how sane you stay! *huffs*) Now that I've said that, LEMME OUTA HERE!  Everyone who has dropped off a sense of humour in the past year, please come and pick it up!  The Lost & Found natives are getting restless. I'se afeared.
