zxcvbn has just left Hobbiton.
Nevertheless there aren't many of them posting at any given time. I'm not complaining, just feeling a little sad that I have to wait atleast half an hour for a reply when I'm in the mood for a long, juicy discussion. By the way, what do you think of my post in the 'HOB Chapters into Scenes Weekly' thread?

Broshan, I mean, hello, fellow Wraiths, Wights and spirits!

A lone nazgul is here in your nice and friendly Barrows.
Those of you who wandered among the Shepherds of the Trees or stayed within the white walls of Minas Tirith may know me already.

Looking forward to our association,
Ulairë Gordis

A very warm welcome - or should I say a most chill welcome to you Ulairë Gordis!

And the same to Ytheogan, Samwise7, Witch-king of Angmar and everyone!

As you now have your days numbered do enjoy the death.

Hi, although I'm not unfamiliar with this site (as it turned up once and intrigued me when I did a routine Google search for links to one of my own websites), I'm new to posting and more extensive reading here. Yeah, the name is ungainly but I once threatened to join a Tolkien forum using that name (the Valarin name for Telperion), and the time felt right. A little about myself: I've been a fan of Tolkien's writings for most of my life, I've done a number of creative and scholarly projects focused on them, and I'd better admit it now, I'm not a big fan of the movies (though if they're what floats your boat, fine with me; to each his/her own). I don't know how active I'll be, but so far, I like the neighborhood.

Hello

Hello, AJ here. New to this forum but long time member of one or two other forums. I'm 43, been reading and studying Tolkien since I was 12 so that is 31 years. Looking forward to some good discussions.

Welcome Ajax! Hope you'll enjoy being here! And in any case, I'd prefer NOT to call you AJ. I am used to this as abbreviation for English Language.

P.S. General Kath, I can't see you on my screen.
