New Members - Introduce Yourself Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Greetings and Salutations,
I am Lady kealin a very old newcomer. I am soon to be 51 years old and have been a fan of Tolkien since my early teens. I am married to a scotsman, kilt wearing , bagpipe playing, head of Clan Gordon for Indiana and Kentucky. He reminds one most of a cross between Gimli and one of the Urukhai. Gads what a
picture.

I am the eldest girl of seven children. Being sixteen years older than the younger siblings, I used the Hobbit and LOTR as bedtime stories. That begat the rest of the family as Tolkien addicts. Well that should be enough to be going on. I rather jumped in here without even a pocket handkerchief. Elen silva lummen omentilmo. Lady Kealin

Welcome, Lady Kealin! You'll find that quite a few forum members have been fans of Tolkien's books for many years! To get to know some of them, check out the Tolkien Coming of Age Club thread, where you'll not only find a comfortable rocking chair to sit down in, but also lots of entertaining stories to read. (The first post there links to the predecessor thread, where everything started.) Hope you enjoy yourself here!

Hello everyone,

My name is Dylan, and I'm a Tolkien fanatic as well as an internet junkie. I spend most of my time online obsessing about the work of Tolkien. I'm a moderator on LOTRUK.com and I have recently taken the decision to build my own forum to show my admiration for Tolkien and my love for his work.

Offline, I'm a student at a 6th form college in the North-East of England, UK.

I am new here, and I joined because I am a fellow LOTR lover. I found this site through another LOTR forum- LOTRfanaticsplaza. WEll, I from the States, and have loved LOTR since about 5th grade, but I have renewed my interests recently with the advent of the movies. some other random stuff- I am a hobbit fancier... (secret diaries rock!!) (and a Faramir/Eomer/Haldir/... fancier) Rohan rocks!!!

Hello, I'm Fallinel, a Shoreland Piper. I am not new to Tolkien's works; I've read and re-read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion , and Unfinished Tales . I've read a few volumes of HoME, and I love the Lays of Beleriand . I hope I can add something to a few of the discussions here.

This site has an excellent reputation for RPGs, and I hope I can work my way up from the Shire, to participate in some of the more advanced RP threads here. I am not new to storytelling or Tolkien-themed RP writing either, and I have played a variety of roles and invented many different characters with colorful, heroic, or tragic pasts. There are many more waiting in the wings of my imagination, and I think a few of them can find homes here.

Welcome to the realm of the un-dead Fallinel. I saw your post in the Green Dragon. I liked it! Look forward to seeing more RPG posts from you. Don't forget to practically end up 'living' in Middle Earth Mirth! It rules.
