meh...i guess the dead make good fighters, don't disobey commands, don't run away from dragons and they don't stop fighting after a random body part falls off
|
Ok, Morgy, just a question: What's PPC?
There you have it Gil-Galad. Death isn't so bad after all is it? :p |
yeah that last part comes in handy i guess... body projectiles!!!
|
The PPC. *settles down in chair for a long explaination* All of you who already know this, just pass this post by.
I suppose that you know of Fanfiction? *sees nods and continues* Well, there's such thing as Bad!Fic. Really Bad!Fic. Like Celebrian...*shudders* Anyway, you know of the dreaded Mary-sue, right? The 'perfect' girl who comes into a story and makes all the canon characters fall in love with her. Quote:

The PPC hunts them down, kills them and restores the plot. PPC stands for Protectors of the Plot Continuum. Several other departments deal with different offenses, bad geography, acts of violence, and my department deals with Silmarillion canon violations. That's the PPC explained.

Seems like you're doing a most needed job. Keep up the good work!

Morgy asked a question about PMs which is probably going to be asked again, so I'll answer it here. Down at the bottom right-hand corner of the PM, there are two boxes: forward (which is bigger), and quote. Click on quote; if you don't want to keep the quote of the PM you're replying too, just delete it. Does that make sense? Anyway, a hugely warm welcome to everyone new. Oh, and I'm going to try to get Alk to put up my pirate pic as well in the Downs Photo Gallery... Congratulations, Morgy. PPCing is a noble career in the fanfiction world. :D Lots of love to everybody, ~ Elentari II |
Hello all! I'm new here. I have a question. How do you get the avatars to download? I tried putting one in, but it said the URL wasn't right, even though it was a jpeg.
I usually hang around at tolkienonline, but this place looked fun, too, so I decided to give it a try. :D Anyway, I'll probably be back sometime tomorrow. Namarië! ~Nuinda |
Hello!
Hello I'm new here, I just joined this afternoon, but I don't know how to work or do anything on here so if someone could tell me or somthing it would be GREAT!!! If you want to know more about me or anything, don't be shy, just ask! :rolleyes:
Namarie ~Alakfaithien~ |
That's a pretty neat name Alakfaithien. Welcome to the Barrowdowns! :D
|
?????
Can anyone help me, or are you just ignoring me? :confused: :( I really have no idea what I'm doing here.
~Nuinda |
Thank you Linlaith. I tried to change it to Lalaithamin, ( My Laughter ) but I found out that I can't. Kind of a uh-duh thing, but who knows!
|
Sorry I meant Ninlaith! :p
|
Well, Nuindacilien, what you're doing here is probably discuss Tolkien's works, enter some quiz & quote games or play an RPG. That's what we do here. Welcome to the Downs and have fun.
|
I think what Nuindacilien was asking was how to change the avatar judging from this post:

A JPEG is an image shared on your computer, not an image on the web. Cheers Imladris |
That's weird. How can she have written two posts, when her post count says 1? That tricked me.
|
It's ok Alakfaithien, I forgive you. Welcome to all newcomers.
|
Hello all! I was looking at different LOTR forums and I think this one seems to be the coziest in my opinion.

Bungo,
Welcome to the Downs! We hope you enjoy your stay here. We are indeed the deadest and the cosiest sight on the net. If you enjoy RPGs, come down and introduce yourself in character in the Green Dragon Inn, which is in the Shire, and take a look at the Red Book of Westmarch. Hope to see you arrive. Cami Goodchild (Shire Mod)/Child of the 7th Age |
Welcome all and come over to the Quiz Room!...
|
Oh, I just realised something...My LO (Lust Object *winks*)...or rather, LO's...actually, I'll just put my main ones down, shall I?
OK, My (main) LO's are Denethor (of Gondor, not the one from the First Age), Feanor, Celebrimbor, Elu, Celeborn, Thranduil and Elrond. Yes. There are actually many, many more than that, but as has been pointed out frequently, I am fickle. The above are the ones that I stick to no matter what. Should probably add Figwit to that as well.... |
Welcome all newly dead. Hope you enjoy the Downs!!!
~Wilwa~ |
nice new pic Wilwa by the way...mine of course is original
|
hey. Im Isowen (which is my name in elvish) and I've been on this site for ages but I've just joined the whole forum thingy. It looks like lotsa fun! I love everything to do with lotr, but particularly elves, as I think they're so interesting and magical and I think Galadriel is the most interesting elf i've ever heard of!
|
Welcome to the downs!!!
(for a idea of being dead read my sig in italics...nobody does anyway) |
Welcome dearies!Rest assured that even if the Downs is full of weird conspicuous weirdos, Tolkienologists etc. etc. I'm sure you'll find it quite homey in here :D

Welcome everyone. If your question still wasn't asked satisfactorily, Nuindacilien, ask one of the mods, like Estelyn Telcontar. It probably was, because Immy usually knows what she's doing, but just in case. Or you could try downloading the jpg to the net. I use www.villagephotos.com, but that's because I don't know anywhere better. Cheers, ~ Elentari II |
Thank you Immy and Elentari. I tried again, and it didn't work, so I'm just giving up. I can live without an avatar. It's not the end of the world. :rolleyes:
Elentari, I tried the villagephotos thing, too, but it's not working yet either. I think my connection is slow (I still have dial-up).\ Thorongil: I was wondering the same thing. I don't know why it only shows that I've posted once. Maybe it will change after I post this. Well, I'm off to try the avatar thing again! ~Nuinda |
hi
my name is jesse, i'm new here and i really hate introducing myself. i have know idea what to say
okay that is good enough for me |
just pretend its a AA meeting... "Hi my name is Gil-Galad and i've been an acholholic eversince my friend Celebrimbor got messed up and let Sauron into his land..."
|
Elentari: Thank you, I think I'll try that. I'll let you know if it works! :D
~Nuindacilien |
Welcome Marien, or Jesse, whichever you prefer. I'm sure you'll find your way around soon and feel like an oldie in no time! We're all pretty friendly, and if you're unsure about something feel free to PM me. I can't promise I'll be much help, but you can PM me all the same.
I'm actually fairly up-to-date atm, so I can call newcomers by their first names. Because I think this is a recurring issue, if one wishes to reply to a PM click on the 'quote' button down at the bottom. Cheers, ~ Elentari II |
Greetings!

I'm the cheeky one - just welcomed a week ago, and now look at me! I'm welcoming ppl here :D
Welcome! Witch-King :):) |
