Hi!!
After lots and lots and lots of thinking, I decided to join and post my fanfic... I wrote it 1 or 2 years ago but never completed it... I guess I need a little nudge from someone...  It's in the AU Archive and it's called 'Lim Aear'. I have only posted the prologue so far. Please give it some of your time and tell me what you think!
See ya around,
Silent Niobe |

Welcome, SilentNiobe, to OSA. I'm glad you decided to take the plunge! Posting one's first fic is always an act of some bravery. We love new writers around here, and not just for breakfast and hazing rituals, either. I scanned your story and was intrigued by the premise (I'll be back for a more thorough read later). Just be sure your plans for the rest of it conform with OSA's guidelines; we have kind of a backward view on OC's - the more ordinary they are, the more we like them!
I am Nancy, and I'm sorry but I'll be absolutely useless in prodding you to continue your story as my own writing is d r a g g i n g on and I haven't even begun to post! But enough about me; how do you like my other work?  Just kidding ... (ok, not really  ).
I will encourage you to seek lots of inspiration, however, easily found in the archive! just be sure to litter your trail with reviews and ratings as you go. 
Cheers,
NB

*Nods* I agree. My story, "The Easterling" was created as an intro in a RP board, and evolved into a short story. But only after I spent a couple of weeks deciding whether or not I should join this site.
But I'm glad I did.
I like the smilies.

Wooooooooooooooow!! You've written some stories!!  And to think that I'm fighting with only one...
LOL I read all about the OCs... and well, I can't say I disagree!! My OC 's greatest 'problem' (I can't say more!!) is based on real-life experience (not personal though, thank God...) Believe me, some things are quite ordinary, as much far-fetched as they sound! And I had to put the ATTEMPT of rape, actually, coz it helps my plot... I tried to find an alternative, but things could not really work without it. So there you go!  I really hope my OC won't turn out corny... but you can't blame me for wanting someone special for Legolas!! Well, actually she's not *that* special... 
Don't worry, I don't write as bad as in my posts.
Anyway, thanx for taking the time to take a look at my story!!

Welcome to OSA, and it's great to see you're already posting. I had a quick read and really enjoyed it.
Be sure to post in the beta threads if you need help or inspiration, there is usually someone hanging around who's willing to step in and do some prodding.!

Last time I looked I had about 13 wip's (wip= work in progress) but that might be more by now with those  Although the nr of completed stories still outranks that... heh So eum...  me and my muses do have interesting meetings 
Welcome on board Silent Niobe, I hope you have a great time here with writing, reading & reviewing. From the posts here I gather you love that Mirkwood elf, but are there any other characters that strike your fancy?

Yeah, Duchess, they're also delicious with Chip Butties for afternoon tea!
Welcome Naiobe! Are you silent cuz you jumped...or did Lucius really push you?  (Sorry, vague Rome reference).
Don't forget, as soon as you're finished reading all 512 of Nancy's riveting and excellent fics, to lather rinse repeat...(she's really a wonderful writer...and prolific as anything).
That's not exactly how it goes but...oh well, No fish no foul/No hair no haircut (Sorry, vague Eddie Izzard reference).
Well, welcome to the best little LoTR site in the history of evah! (Sorry, vague Spaceweavil reference).
I'm Nazgul #1, the Dark Captain and keeper of Sauron's belly button lint collection, and I'll be your hostess. Come on in and have fun, and if you need anything, ask someone else, I'm pretty busy trying to keep track of my piercings...Where is Vlad anywho?

*huge smile* Well, I have to say this is a very very warm welcome! Thank you all so much! I was in a REALLY bad mood yesterday and you made my day! Plus, obligation to my readers (Am Narcissist. Definitely.) gave me inspiration to write another couple of chapters! LOL

I will definitely need a beta, but I'm too shy to ask for one...

I generally like elves, but I love this mystery around Legolas. Tolkien never cleared things out about him and I like exploring all these endless versions of what he did and who he really was... I also like Haldir and the way he is protrayed, really haughty and arrogant... probably because I like arrogant males... I like playing their female arrogant version, it always ends up in a good fight!! MWAHAHAHA
Ahem. Sorry.
Lately I discovered I have an interest in Eomer too. I have a friend who looks so much like Karl Urban that it's freaking me out!
*thinks* I really need to find more serious reasons for liking a character...

Nooooooooooooooo, I'm silent because Zeus turned me into a stone!! I can only weep...  (Sorry, vague Greek mythology reference)  |

Well kudos to you girl for not making a vague reference to the Lion King!

Greetings! Welcome aboard. I'm sure someone will be along with baked goods, alcohol or naked Canon Characters shortly (Where is SilverMoonLady anyways?). I'm Neume, Neu for short, though I'm actually about a 36 tall, but that's another story entirely.
Aside from salutations, I came to say {ahem}: Don't be scared of betas. Unlike the pretty Asian fishies, fiction-reading betas are disinclined to bite, unless they've run out of chocolate and/or caffeine or the Blue Pencil of DOOM has broken again (in which case watch your fingers, extraneous adjectives and any dangling participles). (/nuttiness)
(Oh who am I trying to kid. Like the craziness ever stops? )
Again, welcome and enjoy,
Neu

Oh Neume, you are one of the best beta's! Not to forget Mrs G is - beta extraordinaire, Binks (see above ) is very good and oh well. Just wanted to pop in and say how grateful I am to have all those wonderful beta's around.
climbs of her soapbox to do some necessary frolicking with her elves
SilentNiobe, there is a betapool thread over here you might want to look at for assistance.

I'm so so so sorry to disappoint you but Chicken Little is my personal favourite!! ("Who are we talking about?")

Try our national drink Ouzo... does miracles! That's what I need to deal with "I am Sailor Moon! The champion of justice! And in behalf of the moooon, I will right wrongs, triumph over evil, and that means yooooooooou!" lines... I was a beta for a friend of mine who wrote anime fanfics. That's how I developed the twitch in my left eye. (Love ya, Nana!!)
Now, if there's no ouzo left... that's a problem... |

...there's always Polish vodka. Not as tasty as ouzo, but equally strong
