How did you find out about the Barrowdowns?

[Morgul Queen]

Mine's not that interesting, but, Mr Barrow-Wight, you may find it flattering.

Being a New Zealander, I get a free magazing every year on the LotR movies in the Newspaper, in the Fellowship one (which I still have, you won't believe some of the stuff you get out of the papers here, sometimes it's almost as crammed of Tolkien as TOR.net) was an interview. Tehanu's interview, in fact. As a side note is written...

"There are hundreds of internet sites devoted to The Lord of the Rings including several with name generators. One (www.barrowdowns.com) provides your Orc name, your Hobbit name, your Elf name, your Dwarf name as well as guessing who you could be in Middle-earth."

...followed by...

"In another internet tribute site (http://fan.theonering.net/writing/stories/files/whistler_greeneggs.html) a fan has rewritten Tolkien in the style of Dr Suess"

That is actually how I found TOR.net as well. Then, sometime after sneaking off to see LotR at midnight at somepoint (Mum had forbidden me to see it again, something about 10 times being enough) I got fed up with lurking and joined the Forum...I had lurked since November 2001!

Yeah...so there's my story. Be proud, Mr Barrow-wight, your site was in a special souvenir magazine celebrating all the best things about LotR!! And was mentioned *before* TOR.net [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
