Hi all... I've been lurking on this site for a couple of weeks now, and I thought I'd jump in the forum here with both feet. I'm new to fan fiction in general and the site in particular, but I am enjoying what I'm seeing immensely. I'm still trying to learn the terms and rules and such, but maybe someday I'll post something of my own, being a writer by trade. The fantasy world of LOTR has really sucked me in, and this site has not helped matters.  I'm also a serious Legophile, much to the chagrin of my boyfriend.
I'd also like to offer my services as a beta reader (I'll get around to posting that in the appropriate place at some point). As I mentioned before, I am a writer myself (poetry, short fiction, essay). I also teach college English.
Hope to get better acquainted with some of you in the near future. Maybe I'll even get an avatar!

Hi Hannah,
Welcome to Open Scrolls. You've been here a couple of weeks already so by now you must know we may all have big mouths, are a bit rowdy and often lose our minds in the gutter, but we're harmless. 
Hope you enjoy yourself and come around to post something one day. (Not that you have to but if you're a writer by trade...)
Ciao,
do.

Greetings and welcome to you,
Ahhh, how wonderful to see another Legophile You will find yourself in good company here due to the Elf lovers among us. At the same time, you may find yourself converted to being a Hobbit admirer as well. As much as I love my Elves, there is something to be said for so much sexual intensity in a small package. Like Do said, please jump in on the insanity. Start a thread in the forums, post a story, help out with beta reading (there is always a need for more betas), take a gander at the trivia threads, or join in on the Silm reading group. There is definitely a ton for idle hands and dirty minds to do.

I won't deny hobbits already have a place in my heart. I've always been a little sweet on Frodo. 
And thanks everyone for the... er... warm welcome. |

FF,
As one of the two (sometimes 3) resident males, welome. Don't mind us though, I'm sure you have seen that we are quite harmless and basically keep our heads down.
OOOO... college english professor  , I hope you brought your red pen. There will probably be a line forming in your Inbox shortly.
RE your boyfriend's chagrin: I used to date a girl who was a Brad Pittophile, lets just say I used that to m advantage and both of us ended up...err... satisfied.
Inglor

So FF *snicker* I'm sorry, that really is a great acronym...
Where did you teach? Still teach? More importantly - can you put in a good word for me at CUA? Eh? Eh?
I vowed never to go back to student teaching/freshman comp. I want a real job, dammit!  Preferrably Shakespeare.
So? Good words for the BB? I'm very friendly, feel free to mention that  'Ask not what you can do for your friends, but what they can do for you!'

Inglor--you'll have to let my bf in on your little secret. I'm afraid at this point he's terribly just terribly jealous over this whole Legolas/ Or-LAND-o (that's how he says it, complete with eye roll) thing. A few weeks ago Orli was filming a movie about 15 minutes from where my boyfriend lives, and he tried to hide it from me. He was really worried I was going to track the poor guy down and throw myself at him. Not that I didn't think about it.... 
And BB--I can't say I have too much clout in the world of English professors yet. I've only been teaching for 2 years in Kentucky, and now I've moved to Tennessee to start work on my PhD. So I'm not technically a professor--still frighteningly young for that--but I promise I can still flourish a red pen like one. And alas, with the current job I have at UT, I'm condemned to teaching freshman comp for another 4 years. Urgh.  |

I did my time there! Its a rite of passage. In a few years I'd like to go back to work though, I am not cut out for housewifeying. Does give me plenty of time to work on the doctorate though! What are you getting your PhD in?
