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.

Welcome, Ibrīnišilpathānezel! Enjoy being dead.

Do you... umm... have some kind of shortening for your name? Like Ibry? Or Nezel? Or something totally different?

Welcome here, Ibrīnišilpathānezel! Feel welcome here and hope to see your contributions to this forum, I'm sure you'll find it most interesting around here...

...and I must join the ranks of the people stunned by your name. Don't expect anyone's going to call you that For shortening, I'd suggest Ibrin (though on first sight, my original idea was something like "dilophosaurus" ).
