Tolkien Fan Fiction Moderator(s) Needed

Our Fan Fiction section (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi) has sat unmoderted for several months. The place really needs someone dedicated to its upkeep. I am looking for one or two responsible forum members to moderate it.

If you are interested in the job, please send me a PM (on this forum, not the Fan Fiction forum) with any ideas or thought you have on why you would be a good moderator. The moderator(s) will be chosen after our current moderators have evaluated all volunteers.

Thanks
BW

Dear Barrow-Wight:

I saw this forum and decided that I would answer the call for Fan Fiction Moderator. The reason why I think I would make a good moderator is that I love fan fiction. I love anything and everything to do with writing and reading. It is my passion. That and I am very responsible. As of currently I am working with Child of the 7th Age to create my first game called "Seekers of Truth." I also just finished the game "Legacy of Traitors." I come on here every single day, sometimes more then just once to make sure that the duties that I did have in the RP, with Everdawn as game owner, were fulfilled.

I hope that my passion for fiction and my unwavering sense of responsibility allow me to be a moderator for this wonderful portion of this website. I have never visited another website as often as I do this one. I would be honored greatly to be allowed to do this job. When I am given something to do I do it to the best of my ability and always have.

If you need to talk to people about my credibility you can contact anyone of the members of the "Legacy of Traitors" RPG that has currently closed as of May 31. Thank you for your time and your consideration.

Sincerely,
Crystal Heart

Tolkien Moderators Chosen

We've picked two moderators for Fan Fiction:

Imladris and Son of Númenor

Please join me in congratulating them on their new positions.

Many thanks to the members who volunteered but were not chosen. There was quite a variety from new members to people who have been around for years. The choice was hard, and I greatly appreciate everyone who volunteered. Look for Fan Fiction to improve significantly in the very near future.

Sincereley,

An excellent choice was made, I think! I look forward to how the community will grow and improve. I believe there is enough interest, as you must have seen from all the vonlunteers who wished to moderate the community, Barrow-Wight, for the community to flourish.

Many congrats to you both, Imladris and Son of Numenor!

I hope to submit work soon. My summer days could easily be filled with writing...

Tolkien Celebrate in moderation

The feeling is mutual, Imladris.

Thanks to those who have written to congratulate Imladris and I, and to wish us good luck in our endeavour. And, of course, I would like to thank the Barrow-downs administration for giving us this opportunity.

I'm getting all warm and fuzzy inside. I'd better go lie down.

Cheers!

Shield Welcome

I'm sure there is nothing immoderate about either Imladris or Son of Númenor as Moderators.

Welcome to the both of ye and let me find some time to organise a happy hour for mods on the Chat Room. I'm sure we are due a shipment of Old Toby and some fine cider or ale. Or, given the season, some watermelon punch. Really, there is a sizable helping of hobbit in me, I swear.

Thumbs up

congrats to Imladris and Son of Númenor!
I had the short opportunity to write some RP with Imladris in Lingering Darkness, and wished we had more time to write together. But alas, the fortunes go their ways.
You will do well sirs.

Congratulations to the both of you!
Imladris, after being in an RPG under your leadership, I'm sure you will make just as good a moderator. And, Son of Numenor, if you're anything like Imladris, you'll be just as good as well.

Cheers!

You've gotten many "Congrats" already, of course, but I'm afraid it would look positively horrid if I don't congratulate you also, so...

Congrats!
