Hi, I'm new to this site and fan fiction. So, I was wondering if anyone could help me.
1) What's a beta reader and do I need one?
2) Does anyone know anything about the Twins, Elrohir and Elladan? You know, what they did during the Lord of the Rings, and when/if they sailed for the Undying Lands, and whatever useful info.
3) What's BBcode?
Thanks |

Hi and welcome to the site!
First, a beta is someone to go over your story and check for mistakes in spelling, grammar and what not. It's a requirement in the guidelines of the site that posted works be beta read, just to try and make sure mistake-riddled stories don't get posted.
There's not a lot known about Elladan and Elrohir. I wrote a quiz about them for the quiz section if you want to take a gander. Here's a link to an excellent essay by Tyellas about the twins. It's pretty comprehensive. As for their sailing to the Undying Lands, it says that they stayed on for a while after Elrond left and that their time to make their choice was extended for a while, but Tolkien never says what choice the ended up making.
And BBcode is the lingo our BB speaks. Usually involves lots of foul words, references to Elf sex and many emoticons. 
Sorry, I don't really know what BBcode is. Maybe someone a little more computer literate than I can answer.
