Hello, my name is LKK, and I'm an elfaholic. I've been in love with Tolkien's elven vision since I first read his books in the mid 1970s. (Yes, I'm old and getting older.) I'm fairly new to fanfic, though. I didn't know Tolkien fanfic existed until 2002. I started writing my own fanfic just over a year ago. Legolas is my favorite character. But I tend to write about the twins (Elladan and Elrohir) more often. So many good stories (and bad) already exist about Legolas. I'm a little intimidated. There are fewer stories about the twins though. It's not quite as scary writing about them. I tend to write short stories or drabbles. My homepage icon links to my page at Stories of Arda. If you're feeling adventurous, I invite you to give my writings a try. If you're feeling really daring, leave a review and let me know if you liked what you read. I guess you can tell I'm a shameless self-promoter. I'm not here just to self-promote though. I love to discuss Tolkien stuff either book-related or movie-related. I'm hoping this will become a lively place with good discussions! PS: Thanks to Karri for getting my login problems solved. PPS: I don't have any neato LOTR-related icons. So I borrowed one from Neopets. Please don't hate me.

Hello! I followed the link from the MC list, as many of you seem to have. My screen name is Lily Frost and I've been writing fanfiction for a good five years, Lord of the Rings fanfiction for three. I've read the books twice over, the Hobbit twice, the Silmarillarion (sp?) and Unfinished Tales. Narn I Hin Hurin in Uninished Tales is one of my favourites (I'm a sucker for tragedies), but not much stands up to the original trilogy. I like to write with the characters in Rivendell, but Mirkwood is #1 on my 'places in Middle Earth I want to visit'. And of course, there's Legolas... and his ada. As for writing, I'm on ff.net at www.fanfiction.net/~lilyfrost and Stories of Arda under the same name. I write mostly general and humour, and have a problem with starting more things than I can finish. I'm not totally canon-strict, but I've found that I'm a bit of a snoot when it comes to reading and insist on a certain quality of writing. I know that we aren't professional writers, that's part of the fun, but sometimes getting through things is tough. If I don't like something, I won't read it. This is a good idea for a board, to end on a positive note. Peace out, Lily Frost

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!) You'd better have a soft spot for my baby instead of calling him ugly and ancient! ;D ;D

She must have been suffering from temporary insanity caused by Ring exposure…for naught else explains such fell thoughts.

LOL the 'ugly' thing was a grave mistake on my part, and Elrond IS ancient, compared to a human! *runs* Yes indeed, I AM the 'Deana' from ff.net, LOL! Here's the link to my stories: www.fanfiction.net/~Deana

Hi Karri, Hi everyone!
I'm JastaElf, and I've been writing Tolkfic since 1966.
Yeah, that old. *sigh* :-)
I got the books (Trilogy and Hobbit) for my birthday when I turned 10.... read them voraciously, and have probably read them once a year every year since. Adored the movies, hated the cartoons (though occasionally "Where there's a Whip There's a Way" gets into my head... LOL!), and Thranduil is a god. He fortunately doesn't know that, cuz if he did he'd be dangerous.... :-)
Waitaminnit, he IS dangerous anyway. OK. No problem.... :-)
I write Wood-elf fic a lot, esp. about Legolas and his Ada; and Karri, thanks for the invite.
Cheers, Jasta

Hello, fellow Elf-lovers. My name is daw the minstrel and I've been writing about Legolas before the quest for almost two years now. My stories are all at Stories of Arda and ff.net, and a few are scattered elsewhere. I am unnaturally prolific (no writer's block here!), so there are a lot of them.
I absolutely love the picture showing the Wood-elves' Home at the top of this page!
Thanks for letting us know about this site, Karri.

Hi I'm Ceana.
I'm new to the world of Tolkien, some how I missed that 12 to 14 year olds window when EVERYONE else was reading LOTR and The Hobbit. Now that I'm a lot older....a lot older.....I'm going through all his stuff with great enthusiasm. Expect, no way, but I know what I like. This is a very nice website and I'm glad to be here.
Oh and I already have written my first fanfic. And here, I always thought once the daughter was grown and gone, what would I do. Silly me.
