Greetings all. 
Just thought I'd come out of lurking mode and introduce myself.
I'm a mom of 5, so so artist, songwriter...let's just say I love anything creative.
I LOVE reading fanfic, and the first one I read on this site was the best I've ever read.
I don't know how good I would be at writing one of my own since I haven't tried that in many years, but I might try again.
This is a great site! Can't wait to read more.  |

Hey newbie.  Welcome to the madness known as OSA. It is a great site full of good stories and nice people. And if you want to try writing your first LOTR fan fiction, this is the place to do it. There are betas available as well as a wonderful writers tips section on the forum. They can help you will everything from what color was Elrond's bedroom to the Quenya translation for 'lay of the massively hung elves' (yes this is something I actually had translated as a joke - its a very pretty phrase to BTW - Lirilla Eldar Lingallarion) I think we also had a translation of Island of the Cheesy Flaps at one time but I might be crazy. 
So....spill it - what's your fancy? Elves, men, hobbits, dwarves, rangers, horselords, Noldor, Sindar, Silvan, Nazgul, Numenor, etc etc
Remember when you are reading - read, rate, and review! (Nancy - I stole your line hehe)

Oh, I definatly LOVE the elves. Long hair, tall, fair features *drool drool*, but the Rangers are absolutly wonderful too. I pretty much fancy any well written character with depth.
I'd like to try my hand at writing an elvish romance. Any tips on what to avoid would be appreciated.

Oh, Al, you known you don't even need to ask *smooch*.
Besides, Eiranae has already reviewed that first fic so she's a natural. Welcome, Eiranae!

Are you sure? Here's mine: write something else -  Just teasing ... when the long-haired, high-cheekboned, andgrogyne bandwagon rolls by you'll see me standing on the curb just smilin' and wavin'. Then I'm going back to the bar.

Duchess  That's from Caranthir for calling him androgynous and insinuating that there is anything whatsoever about him that is not extraordinary. He said to meet him at the DD at 6p.m. and he'll show you the face of Eru.
Welcome to OSA Eiranae, glad to see you lather, rinse, repeat when you read. Its important to let the author's know they are appreciated.
If you're into the seedy side, come take a gander at the V.V. Its where are all the pervy, more A/U fics hang out...along with all of us nuns.
Watch out for poop, the nine are just learning to curb their Fellbeasts as Aragorn has only recently passed the proclomation of pooper scoopers.
Enjoy!

NancyBrooke, I'm beginning to think you may be right about the Elvish Romance idea. I can't think of a single good idea.
I think I'm going to try one of the "bunny" ideas instead.
krazykataave, I'm an expert on crazy, but fortunatly I love it!!!
(If I didn't, with 5 kids, I'd be insane by now!!!) |

Hello, newbie type person! Welcome, and enjoy your stay here in ward 69 1/2 of the Pervy Whatever Fanciers' Asylum. You're just in time; Thursday is cheap wine and hookah smokin' night! (Not to be confused with cheap hooker night, which is considerably more rare.)

Did I say that? Did I say that? Noo - oo- o (I merely implied it  ). You know it's not those macho 1st age elves I object to, just the fangrrl cult of the pretty elf o so rampant in fanfic  .

But he swore he'd never tell anyone our little pet name for it ...  ooops

Not that kind of nun, this kind of nun:We’ve flattened their fingers
We’ve branded their buns
Nothing is working
SEND IN THE NUNS!!!
