Mae govannen! My name is Karri, and I have been writing Tolkien fanfiction for ... let's see...almost 3 years. (Wow! How time flies! ) My favorite of the books is The Hobbit, and my favorite character, Thranduil. (I'm afraid I am a bit fanatically about both) So far, though, none of my stories have really centered on the elvenking, for Legolas has a way of stealing the limelight. I do have a couple stories in which the elvenking shines, and if I can ever get myself off my duff and writing again, there might eventually be more. ) A few of my stories may be found various places, but all may be found here: www.fanfiction.net/~karri www.storiesofarda.com/author.asp?AuthID=7Well, that's it for now. Hope to see someone else around these parts eventually, but till then, I'm sure I can manage to figure out something to with all these lonely Wood-elves to keep myself entertained.

Hi, my name is Valawen. I've been a Middle-Earth character for about, oh, a few years. I was originally written as a character to marry Elrond, but have branched off into several other alternate universes... Ahem. *dreamy sigh* Really...I'm not sure which book is my favorite. I haven't read ROTK...I suppose so far Two Towers would be it. Um...favorite character would be...Elrond and/or Aragorn...so hard to choose. I know what you mean, Karri. It's so hard to stick to your main character when that review grabbing Legolas whispers in your ear. *sigh*

Hey Karri I saw the link on the MC List and decided to come on over! Gwenneth is my Elven alter-ego that I created only a measly 6 months or so. I'm relatively new to Tolkien's world, but I really enjoy writing fanfiction that centers around a Legolas/Aragorn friendship pre-Fellowship. I'm not very versed in canon, but that doesn't mean I don't try. So my stuff is on the MC List, ff.net, and HOPEFULLY on Henneth-Annun. (Not the public archive, though I will attempt that someday...right now it is viewable to members in the beta section.) www.fanfiction.net/~gwennethA little about me...my favorite LotR book...uhm...I'm keen on RotK, but do not know it front to back in any respect. I find I base my stories on what I DO know and the way the characters were portrayed in the movies. I welcome any help I can get in respect to keeping close to canon, but I DO NOT like outright denial or flaming! Constructive criticism!! That is good! I have seen too many younger authors, like myself, scared away from the realm of LotR fanfiction because they were told they didn't stick to Tolkien's world. It's a shame because they were wonderful writers and I miss their stories. Ah well...enough from me. I'll try to join this group at a later date...but even if I don't, I will try to post to it!!! -Gwenneth

Hi Gwenneth! Legolas/Aragorn Friendship stories are most welcome, either under one of the More Dangerous and Less Wise categories or under the MC category (or anywhere else for that matter. ) We are not terribly canon strict around here, but please feel free to ask any canon questions that come up (either as a member or as a guest…we like guests, too. ;D) Thanks for checking out the board. I hope to see you around!

Hi Karri and thanks for the invite. I love LOTR and anything that has to do with it. Of course I have to admit Legolas is my favorite. ;D I'm not a very good writer and don't think I would ever have the guts to post anything I write online but I love to read others work. I've been a huge Tolkien fan for about lets just say about 20 years since I first read the Hobbit. My favorite book would have to be The Two Towers. As is my favorite movie. I look forward to getting to know everyone and especially reading everyones stories.

Welcome, Carol! Thanks for signing up. ;D The Hobbit is my favorite overall, but Two Towers is by far my favorite book and movie of LOTR. (Course, I’ll never admit that might be because Legolas is most prominent in that one. ) I hope that you will feel free to comment, ask questions and join in discussions, even if you don’t expect to post stories. But, lurkers are most welcome, as well.

Hey Kari, I saw this in my email from MC, and thought I'd take a look. This forum is great, and I'm very glad I registered for it. Amanwethiel is my Elven name, but most call me Katie. I write fanfiction about Aragorn and Legolas, and have been doing so for about two years. Most of my stuff is centered around Legolas. I always write about Thranduil in a good way, so no worries there. My stories are on ff.net, hobbitslive.com, and parma-erussen.com (I hope that's how you spell it! lol). I think it's wonderful that you made a forum especially for Thranduil, Mirkwood, and Wood-Elves. That being said, I am so excited to get started here, so thanks for making this great forum! Always, ~*Amanwethiel*~

Hey! This is an awesome board, mellon-nin! As everyone probably knows, Legolas is my fav! I also have a soft spot for Elrond, (I wonder how that happened, Valawen, lol!) and Thranduil. (I wonder how that happened, Karri! LOL;)) To those who don't know me, I write Legolas angst, lol! I love the sweet gorgeous elf so much that I torture the crap outta him! (blink) LOLOL Deana

Hey everyone! I can't believe I'm actually introducing myself, maybe I'll actually talk on this board...oh who am I kidding, I'll probably go back to being a lurker after this! So I am also here because of Karri's email to the MC list. If I'm ever inspired to write (which isn't frequent) I tend to focus on Legolas. All of my stories can be found at FF.Net and a few select ones can be found at Stories of Arda. www.fanfiction.net/~joee1www.storiesofarda.com/author.asp?AuthID=638Well, that's basically it for me. I'm looking forward to see what discussions this board comes out with.

Hi, This is Estelrond from the MC list. I'm probably going to be just a little bit prone to lurking, so please forgive me. I belong to a lot of forums. My favorite LOTR book would have to be the Silmarillion. I'm a history buff. (Elven history...WOOT!) My favorite character is Legolas. (of course) But you know, Thranduil is fun...*starts humming absentmindedly* Ooh, bad me. But This looks like a neat place. You guys should check out my forum to. It needs members. Just like yours. tyndolhen.proboards33.com/index.cgiOoh, and I've been writing fanfiction since movie one. I just well...am slow to finish them. *slaps herself* many hugs, -Estelrond
