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

Legate of Amon Lanc · 09-26-2008, 04:33 AM

Let me also join the welcome greetings, Diane C! Hope you will find this place welcoming and enjoy your stay around here. And, to note, I was intrigued by the fact that you were born in Bloemfontein - for a Tolkien fan, that's quite... well, a good background.

Hello everyone; I'm Eryn, newly entering the world of the 'Downs... to be honest, I've never been part of a forum before, so be easy on me please!

About four years ago I watched the Lord of the Rings for the first time and of course loved it, but as I was rather young (I'm only a freshman now!) it was only a passing interest. Then two months ago I saw it again and couldn't believe I'd dismissed it as simply a 'good movie'! I devoured all the ME (Middle-Earth) books I could find and scoured the internet for more information. Now my favorite pastimes are writing and reading fanfiction, learning more about ME and learning elvish (just Sindarin for now, I'll take a stab at Quenya and Tengwar once I'm a little more experienced)!

Wow, I didn't mean for this to be so long. I hope no one minds; I tend to go on and on about things!

Ooh, awesome, one more of us numerous flood-posting barrow-downers, eh?

Welcome, Eryn, I hope you'll enjoy your death, so to speak.

Indeed, that reminds me of my beginnings and first posts which, I believe, scared several people (judging from the references). So don't worry, Eryn, many people here write long posts and that's actually good! Otherwise, the Downs won't be as great forum as it is

Like, look, I am already here starting to write a few sentences about nothing.

Okay, so: welcome to the Downs, and enjoy your stay! I hope you will find this place valuable for you.

P.S. Nice nickname, by the way.

Welcome, Eryn! It's okay if you make strange posts, at least you haven't had any deleted yet...

I just joined yesterday, and would like to say hello to everyone!

I met and talked with Estelyn at the recent Oxonmoot, and may have heard about this forum there; but I certainly came across it when searching online for any mentions of the moot. I liked it so much that I decided to join.

Enjoy being dead, like we say here.
