Welcome Gildor15 and Aduoreiel!

Iarwain is right, we are rather impersonal on this thread, but from past experience I know that we tend to get off-topic otherwise if we don't rein ourselves in.

So, anyway, enjoy the Downs, post well, read the FAQ, and don't annoy those wonderful mods. (Mainly because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.)

Or tomato sauce, for Kiwis if for no one else.

I'm kidding. Really. They are wonderful people who spend their valuable time keeping these forums nice and tidy.

And (off-topic, I know) - yay for all the Rebekah's with their name spelt like that!

[img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Cheers,

~ Elentari II

No worse than "enjoy being dead!" - in my opinion, at least.

And probably a lot more helpful.

Sillabub,
TTT and ROTK are excellent. I suggest you read them sometime soon! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] The Silmarillion is wonderful as well, so congrats on reading that.
Peace

Question

Hello everyone! I'm back!!!

I'm sorry I've been gone, but I have finals next week, and I have to study. So if I'm not on the rest of this week or next week, you'll know that I'm studying.

One more reason I won't be on as much~ I have recently been converted into a Les Misérables fan. I have joined a couple Les Miz fora, I'm reading the book, listening to TAC right now, etc, etc.

Welcome, Mahal, Elle and Polices.

Enjoy the downs, read the FAQ and try to stay on topic. Everyone likes well-thought out posts and will increase their opinion of the poster.

May I warn you, Elle, to not use too much chat language? People appreciate proper sentences.

So here's to many wonderful and interesting discussions with everyone else! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] May you be blessed with new friendships with other LOTR fans.

Love,

~ Elentari II

I also haven't read The Two Towers or the Return of the king, as I vowed to see the movies first, and I intend on starting TTT verry soon as I am in the middle of The Fellowship [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
