New Members - Introduce Yourself Here

[Eowyn Skywalker]

Welcome to the Barrow-downs, Marcus, and Audriedi... enjoy being dead... mwha-ha-ha-ha. I know that I have, anyhow. *giggles*

Okay, enough with the... ummm... formalities... and now I must demand how on Earth you made it to the Barrow-downs without me noticing, master! *glares, and hides garlic pizzas that she WAS using to take over Barrow-downs with...* (And to the uninformed, which should be about everyone, it's a joke between Jandalf/Audriedi and I that I'm her 'Padawan'. Insane one, I might add... with garlic... anyone who was at the Barrow-downs birthday party would've noticed that...)

And Marcus, you will learn here... the Barrow-downs is the most informitive site on the internet when it comes to Tolkien, and that's saying a LOT!!! You'll like it here, or my name isn't' Eowyn Skywalker!!

Mwha-ha-ha... I'm no longer a newbe... giggle.

Hullo!
I’ve been lurking here since January and have finally decided to join the ranks of the dead. I love this site, it is definitely the best Tolkien-related forum I’ve been to. I’m 14, and am a newbie to Tolkien, only having read LotR last Christmas, but since then I’ve re-read it three times and also The Hobbit twice, The Silmarillion twice, and I bought UT recently and will certainly read it soon.

My nickname is from Quickbeam's song about the rowan trees. I really like the sound of it, and was surprised it hasn't already been taken.

Welcome to the Downs, Carnimírië! I like your name, and I think you'll enjoy UT.

Enjoy being dead!

[Eowyn Skywalker]

Yes, welcome! It's actually fun being dead once you get used to the whole disimbodied voice thing... giggle. Also, being a blue wraithy thing isn't that bad either, I mean, Obi-Wan survived.

Oh... yeah... I'm suppose to be welcoming people.. sorry. Anyhow, welcome to the Downs!!!!

How long does it take to stop being a newbee anyhow? Giggle.

Just popped in to say welcome to all the newbies!

and a quick hello to everyone!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Welcome, welcome... Live long and prosper. Or not... more appropriately for this place, die young and stay long. To all newbies, welcome, and may you enjoy your death.

A tip for all, whether ye be young or old, new... or not...: Don't be afraid of the Books Forum. We may talk like boring old teachers who know more than is probably healthy about LotR, but we really are nice people. Don't let the 'academic' speech intimidate you, just throw in your own two cents. Chances are good that it'll be appreciated.

If you aren't into the book-style stuff, I heartily suggest haunting Middle Earth Mirth for a few laughs.

....Um, actually, if you don't think that you can write book style posts, be afraid of the Books section, because someone'll rate your posts down... stick to Middle-earth Mirth... *giggles* That's my haunt... so... much... fun. Also, don't feel intiminated by the RPG section's high standards... it's really quite easy, you know. (Plus, when I first started, I knew NOTHING about RPing... Barrow-downs is a great place to learn how to role play!). Welcome all the new people! May the Force be with you... or, maybe, may the RING be with you... snrk.

But don't be too afraid to post... most of us don't bite, and our bark isn't that bad either... it's the really REALLY oldbe's that you'll have to worry about... the one's who think that there's no need for mods, because they know everything... sigh.

Mae govannan!
