Hey there,
Love reading the stories, they make me smile, laugh and cry - usually at the same time.
So i thought it was time to say hi to you all and introduce you to my crazy l'il world.
Have written a few short stories before but have been terrified of letting anyone read them. Am in the process of writing a longer story of my own which will arrive when im feeling brave - or drunk!
I came, I read, I rambled

Hey Newbie!  Its been awhile since we've had a newbie post so this thread will be hopping soon. Beware of the pouncers!
Hi I'm Al....I'll be your host this evening. Welcome to OSA, home of many PMF, PEF, PHLF, PNF, PDF, PHF, PRF, and PETF. Now the challenge is figuring which one you are. 
Beware of the OSA Nazgul - known for highjacking threads to cause insanity to spread.

How-do, newbe. Welcome to our crazy little world,  (and I don't use the word crazy lightly).
By the way, I'm Ottis, (please, no applause, just throw money.) local nuckle dragger and provender of misspelled, mispuncuated, (I just love commas), and misguided adaptations of Ambrose Berice and HP Lovecraft (and anybody else I can steal an idea from) fan fic!
So don't be (too) afraid of posting anything, we don't bite (too hard), and we are more then willing to help a fellow Tolkien fan develop his/her talents.  
So come on in, wipe your feet and pull up a chair, grab a tall cold one (or a tall hot one if you prefer)

Hello Katharyn, glad to have you posting here. Don't be shy about your stories! ... If you'd like to have someone go over them, check in the beta forums, lots of us have volunteered to check stuff over, or post a specific request in a new thread.
Ottis! Do you really write Lovecraft ff or you teasing me ?  give us an SSP and a link, -privately if it's too OT here.

I realized that sounded wrong, I ment to say I write LotR ff adapted from Lovecraft,  it just came out wrong
(Note to self; preview preview preview!)
But that gives me an idea.....

Welcome to OSA Katharsis, I see two of my lil Gulies have checked in already. *Pats #'s 2 and 8 on the head and sends them off for Doritos and bean dip* The others should be along soon, they've been out soliciting donations for our planned spring vacation in Cancun. They're all so excited about disco dancing in foam with naked live humans.
Let me be the first to inform you that all the good pr0n can be located in the V.V. Unfortunately, we're still waiting for the Nazgul smut, *taps foot at Speeshies* So if you're into the darker aspect of the OSA, all the pervs can be found there.
Well Kathater, we couldn't be more pleased to have a shiney new member to assaul....welcome, its been far too long.
Enjoy

welcome to the madhouse. watch out for the men in white coats. i'm somewhat new here myself, so probably not yet the resident anything, but greetings and salutations nonetheless.
oh, and here's a dancing banana.

Wow! What great timing! I just had to give my daughter two time-outs in the last 20 minutes, came to the OSA for a little decompression and what do I find? A Newbie! Sweet, soft, chewy, crunchy newbie! My favorite post punishment snack!

So, (and I'm telling you this as a personal favor) get over it. We all had to start somewhere, although most of us (including me) would like to forget our early attempts (Earth 2 Mary Sue, anyone?). And we at OSA do try to be supportive and helpful as much as possible - although help is subject to personal interpretation.
Read the guidelines, that's mandatory and the source for what's okay here and what's not (everything not mentioned, is); there's a good beta section in the forum, where you can ask for and offer help; and flames are not allowed and constructive crit is strongly encouraged. So this is actually a good place to get your feet wet in fanfic (way better than ff.net where flames are the daily currency).
So, get to it! Reading and writing is what it's all (well almost) about here; and if you are reading, please rate and review (which, selfishly, is a good way to get favorable help later on).

Hey there
*Climbs down from her rock and begins waving madly* Thanks for the welcome and kind  words.
Think this is going to remind me of my home with the nice men in white coats. They look after me you know, or at least they did thill i escaped.
I know i shouldn't worry about what i write, i guess that fear will disappear when i actually post stuff eh? Im just aware that my imagination far overeaches my writing ability. Ho Hum I'll get over it.
Anyway the helicopters are out looking for me again. Have to hide quick. |

I believe this is my roll call Yes Spring should be fine, airlines will accept me again by then (no, it isn't here yet).
But hi Katharyn! Nothing more thrilling than a newby introducing herself. Don't worry about sharing, we love to share our reviews with you, so take a deep breath and give it a try!
Have great time here!

Sorry, I was looking at stuff on the walls.
Welcome Katharyn!
Space Weavil here, Nazgul of indeterminate number. (Was trying to think of something I contribute to the site to mention, but five minutes later, still haven't come up with anything).
Anyway, whenever you want to post something, go ahead! (So long as it's all nice and proper and within the guideliney things, of course ) If you're nervous, you can always post in the beta forum, get someone to have a look and give an opinion before you post. But above all, enjoy yerself!

Welcome to OSA Katharyn
I'm Binka, a local PBelegF and one of the OSA Nazgul, but I don't even know which one.
*Al, Ghetto, can I be the Nazgul #7?*
Fasten your seatbelts and have fun!

You'll have to wait for the boss to say on this one....*pushes Nazgul #8 down to steal the Doritos and runs away quickly* By the way Ottis, you got bean dip in your hair.

I thought you were #9? *looks at Al's signature, is confused*.
I am not a number. I am a free Nazgul. (actually, looking at the numbers, looks like I'm not actually in the 9 at all...ah well, I must be a fell beast...)
