Yes, I've joined and all that, but now I'm having trouble finding how it is I submit a story. o.O Help please?
But yes, as it says in my profile, I am very new to the fandom, not wanting to write fiction until I'd finished the books. I accomplished that following a spring semester class I took on Tolkien and his writings before the summer.
...Gosh, I'm interesting. Can't think of anything to say. That's about the gist of it though. |

Hi, welcome. I'm newish here too. All you need to do is to go into Guidelines, and then click how to submit a story, and that will tell you how from there.
Your friendly elf,

You're lucky, you can probably just load chaps that are already in your computer. I have to type everything into that tiny space on the add chapter function. Lol, anyway, feel free to ask us anything at this forum. You can also come to my yahoo group at groups.yahoo.com/groups/peopleoftolkien. TY.
Luv,
Ur SamwiseTS

Erm - Samwise, If you type directly into that little box then two little thoughts spring to mind.
1) You risk losing all your hard work in one simple go. Computers are fickle and information can easily be lost.
2) You're not getting your stories BETA read before posting (which is in the guidelines).
Not sure why your can write the stories in notepad first, just to check. Or use your e-mail system and e-mail the story to yourself. This allows you to re-read and spell check. And provides a backup.
You can't even save to a good old floppy disk?
Just trying to protect your hard work - there was a story a long time ago on the archive we deleted as, plainly put, it was abysmal and she didn't respond to our e-mails quickly enough. The author eventually informed us we had the only copy - she typed it directly in the box. Deleted stores are gone forever. Please get stories beta'd first....
