Hey all, newbie here. I was looking up Zimmerman and his script (which was inspired by watching Sleeping Beauty and remembering how much Tolkien despised Disney... love random thoughts like that) and stumbled upon this forum. Thought... hey, why not. Spread myself a bit more around the internet.

My username is very much mine. Yes, I'm not much for anonmity. If you see it anywhere else, it's 99% most likely me. Sometimes shortened to "Laire", but I'm pretty easy to identify with rambling thoughts and other such nonsense.

Anyways! I was introduced to Tolkien by the FOTR trailer back in fall of 01. I read FOTR right before the movie came out, and soon finished the series in 02. By PJ's ROTK I was a helpless addict. At this moment of my life all my friends and family have given up all hope for me and have accepted that I am, indeed, a Tolkien geek through and through. Have a good few books, a room that resembles a shrine, go to cons, argue about Balrogs and wings, play any games I can get my hands on, the whole nine yards.

Outside of Tolkien (which really doesn't exist), I'm a student (bleh), artist (dA linky in profile), writer (though not all that good), insomniac (3:30am!), and chocoholic (yum).

See ya all around.

Welcome, Ainu Laire. I am fairly new here myself.

I have indeed seen your name around. In fact I think you commented on one of my posts at Deleterius. Remember the Mellon Chronicles one?

Welcome, Ainu Laire!

Enjoy being dead, as we sometimes say here.
(Or mostly it's just me saying that these days...

)

Yeah, I'm McCaber. I got linked here from a different site and decided to put in my $.02 worth. There isn't much to me. I'll read posts and comment on the ones that intrigue me. This looks like a fun place to be, and I think I'll enjoy it.

Welcome McCaber! Hope you will enjoy it.

And feel welcome to put in even more than $.02 if you decide to.
