Hi  I have been lurking for a long time and finally decided to register so I can review the great fics that I have been reading but not able to say anything about. A friend that I work with is also a lurker (mostly) here, though she is registered and convinced me to join the fun too.
I like pretty much all stories but elves and hobbits are my favorites. I also really like Slimarillion stuff.
Well...I am off to review some fics.  |

Welcome. I love your avie. Do you write any of your own (yet)? If so, we'd love to see it, but no pressure. Writing fic can be quite intimidating.

Welcome, Lainien (wait ... did I get all those 'i's in the right places?).
You have joined OSA for exactly the right reason: to praise the authors! Hear, Hear! and what Silvermoonlady is too shy to tell you is that she writes some of the best Hobbit fic around and much, if not all, of it is here at OSA. After you've gone back and reviewed every fic you ever read as a lurker go read any of hers you may have missed.
Okay, now - Shoo! you've a lot of work to do!

Allow me to introduce Shalanir before she goes any further. She's Shanalir, color-wheel addict (as diagnosed by ghettoelleth), and proprietor of the local Sense of Humour Lost & Found, and Locker Room, as well as the nearly finished new Sense of Drama Lost & Found and Locker Room[/color]. The Sense of Humour Lost & Found was created to ensure that everyone has access to their (or, if neccessary, a replacement) sense of humour when they visit the forums. This was of specific interest to me, as I tend to repeat the exact same thing t oall the newbies, so for the rest of this, just look at the other threads in the "Newbie" section...
(Oh, I'm Rob, with a very dry Sense of Humour  )

Robbie stole my welcome spiel!!! (Sorry, it just cracks me up.)
Oh, well, therwe's still a little more to say. (Some people call me long winded. I think of myself as thorough) First, the Lost & Founds and their respective Locker Rooms are located to your left as you exit the forum. Second, the natives get restless when there are no visitors around. Especially on a moon. Any moon. No moon works too. So if you happen to pass by and hear screams, that's just me trying to dodge the plot bunnies  that are being fired at me. (Kinda like this:   ) I think the senses are getting them from the bunny nursery, so if you go to adopt one, but it's not there, check the Lost & Found. We might have it.
Anyway, Welcome!!!!! Enjoy yourself! Don't feed the penguins!
BTW, care to say who the friend is, that sent you to the nuthouse?
Sorry if my grammar is shaky there.

Thanks you folks for the warm welcome.
| Quote: | | Welcome welcome! Hobbits *and* elves? You're going to make a lot of different people happy! Hope to see you about! |
We aim to please. I enjoy the stories and I've felt guilty enjoying them without reviewing them--it's like not paying for something. Reviews are a fanfic writer's pay, I guess.
| Quote: | | Welcome. I love your avie. Do you write any of your own (yet)? |
Thanks--it's Tolkien's art--Elu Thingol's ensignia. No I don't write and likely won't--course my friend said that and then she wrote a few small things.
| Quote: | | You have joined OSA for exactly the right reason: to praise the authors! |
I enjoy the stories, as I said so I'm happy to do it.
| Quote: | | (Oh, I'm Rob, with a very dry Sense of Humour ) |
Wow, an admin welcome. You must have been waiting to tease Shalanir. Thank you for the welcome--your sense of humor has amused me before as I lurked in the forum.
| Quote: | | And I'm Ghetto, I just spit peanutbutter and jelly all over my desk |
Yes, that was funny. I had seen Shalanir's welcome before and then seeing all those colors and it was Robbie--that made me laugh too. Hi Ghetto.
| Quote: | | *Sigh* I was on vacation |
Well thanks for stopping in now that you are back.
| Quote: | | Robbie stole my welcome spiel!!! |
I was waiting to reply to see your reaction. It caught me off guard too since I've been lurking for quite some time and had laughed at your spiel before.
You wouldn't probably know my friend's username. She only has posted to the forum like three times, I think. And she has written only three very little things a while back. She mostly joined to review, like me--in fact she guilted me into it. We work together--her desk is right next to mine--that's how I found out about OSA. But she is right. If you enjoy a story, the least you can do is leave a little review so the author knows you enjoyed it. So I joined.
Thanks again for the welcome everyone! |

Yeah, Robbie really took the cake there. And he even got all of the colors right *sniff, wipes eyes surreptitiously* I'm touched.
Fortunately, unlike ghetto, I was not eating when I read that post.

This way, dear... No pouncing on the newbies before they've been vaccinated! 
This, by the way, is the infamous *Topic Highjack*, an art several of our members are incredibly good at (and entertaining to boot ).
