Know Yer Mates, or a Member Above Ye

[Lhunardawen]

How in the world do you continually do those exhaustive researches, HI?

Anyways...

HerenIstarion, a.k.a. "George from Georgia" is widely and wildly known for resurrecting oooold threads (where you'll usually find his ooooold posts), initiating sweeping parties, starting great threads (like this one), creating sensible posts (that cause his being mobbed by fangirls), and going all ho-ho-ho last Christmas. (He even gave me a Christmas gift...no, two! Sorry, George, but I haven't even started reading them yet. They were deeply appreciated, though. ) He, as Sophia said, has guilt-tripped me into thread-starting...but not quite enough. *evil grin* He is totally fun to talk to (or PM with, in this case). I remember that my first time to personally "converse" with him was sometime almost last year, when he first PMed me to ask about the movie Troy, which I mentioned in a post that I have already watched. Then in return I asked him about Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, which he has mentioned somewhere that he has already read. Memories...

He got engaged recently, which partly explains the decrease in his Downs activity earlier this year, not to mention those extremely heart-wrenching, distant wails we hear.

end note: I tried to add some links, HI, but laziness got the better of me. So did posting's "rule of three." *sheepish grin*

[Gil-Galad]

Lhunardawen has the great club of near-sighted elves which is a rather ingenius idea...though i'm pretty sure she was the one that had the Arwen with Glasses Avvie for a bit there...which was worthy of Gil-Galad's laughter

[Imladris]

Gil-Galad thinks himself quite the Punster, and thinks that newbies have to prove themselves to him, or something of that nature

He is also called Sugar by Nimrodel_9

[Son of Númenor]

Imladris is the more responsible of the two Barrow-downs fan fiction forum moderators. She agrees with J.R.R. Tolkien that the emblems of real-world religion have no place in fantasy. She has mysteriously disappeared from the Barrow-downs Xanga ring, but used to be an avid blogger.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Son of Numenor is hard to find info about... either that or I just don't know how to look.
Son of Numenor had dislikes about the film adaptations of LOTR, including the "dumbed down" Voice of Saruman sequence. I'm also guessing, by the above post, that Son of Numenor enjoys reading fan fiction.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Tigerlily has recently taken on the incredible task of recreating Alka's Barrowdowner's Picture Page. Of the three people whose pictures she has, I am one.

She is interested in comics, art, and history, among other things, which means that the two of us would probably get along famously. My curiosity begs me to ask, does she like X-Men and what of Grail lore? She is an actress who recently tried out for a role in TLotR Musical, and I certainly hope she gets the part and breaks a leg. Not necessarily her own, but certainly one or two.

Her website, a prettily done creation, is a member of The Eowyn Webring, which presumably (correct me if I'm wrong) means that our fair lady is a fan of the shielf-maiden.

She either owns, or desires to own, a clock-tower to hide away in. She said so to the phantom once. She took riding lessons, and would have liked to be a Rider in the Films. She also loves the sea.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Well done... and to answer your question, yes I am a huge X-Men fan. Another online alias I have is "psyknife," though I know nothing of Grail lore.
I do not remember saying that about a clock tower! *giggle* Where'd you find that?

Well, from above post I'm guessing that Fea is a big fan of X-Men and Grail lore Can I take a guess at your fav X-Men character? I'm gonna guess Rogue, because she's a fav of many... but guess number two would be Phoenix.
Fea has, as she says, sent me her piccie for the Down gallery... and she is quite gorgeous! Such pretty... as you will all see once I get that site up. Hmmm... to relate to X-Men, she kind of reminds me of Shadowcat.

It's probably pointless to say this, as it is already too late a comment, but...

That wasn't me but Maeggaladiel, Founder of the Nearsighted Elves Society.

[Orominuialwen]

Lhunardawen is a self-professed Lhunatic, and she has played this role in several Werewolf games. She lives in the Philippines and is the younger sister of Nilpaurion Felagund. Many people have trouble with her name (possibly becase of the h?), which means "blue earth woman." She is a biology major and was born on January 4th, 1989. She says she would be the strangest member of her family, if it weren't for Nilp, and so has to take second place. Despite the mental image that many people (myself included) have of her, she looks nothing like Eowyn.

[Nimrodel_9]

Nimmy is a fellow Utahan although she's from a small town. She works at a local drive in, which all small towns in Utah seem to have. She's probably the only person in her whole town that is fanatical about Tolkien. Traditionally people from small towns here know just about everybody in the town. But most importantly it seems that she enjoys playing video games.

Yes, I enjoy video games, but I don't play very often. I forgot you were from Utah, Morm. That makes about 5 of us.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Orominuialwen is a sweet young lass who celebrates her birthday in September. She has wonderfully curly hobbit-like hair and "creepy" is the last adjective you could use to describe her - unless you play Werewolf with her.

Oromin is a very musical girl with a huge amout of hobbies including playing several instruments and fencing.

She has made her and her brother's avatars by herself. On the basis of the great avvies you could presume that she's quite talented with computers.

Oromin is walking to Rivendell and she has already passed Abandoned robbers den which is good since it isn't a very nice place to stay long. But in the wilderness she has also another way to defend herself against enemies than by using a sword: she can scream and apparently very loudly. According to Oromin's Live Journal she won a Howard Dean screaming contest in July! Congratulations, we are very proud of you!

[the guy who be short]

Dancing spawn is a Finn, and a far more attractive one than I, until reasonably recently, realised and gave her credit for. She lives in a perilous land full of snow and ice, though it is quite likely she has access to central heating, which renders this bearable.

In her profile, the spawnéd one claims to like lightning, thunder, music and drawing. She also claims to have been affected by the Chenobyl disaster.

As well as her interests listed above, she has a perfectly healthy obsession with the werewolf games. Who doesn't?

Spawn joined BD in 2003, yet has only managed circa 700 posts, less than one a day. Almost everybody will demand that she appear more often. More, I say!

Despite her relatively low post count (compared to her residence, anyway) she is very reputable (29th, actually, and dogging me). Her reputation will continue to rise as admiring hordes throng her, for she has a very good sense of humour and spends much time in Mirth (which she will doubtless remember as Mayhem, as it wall called in the Days of its Youth. Ah, sweet reminiscences.).

Spawn also likes the Movies, most of the threads she has created dwell therein.

Dancing Spawn has recently been the subject of much envy among the Quenya learners, for being a Finn, she should (and claims she does) find pronunciation and grammatical forms in Quenya easy. She is paired with Lhunardawen in the Quenya Club (Ooh, we're a club now, how select ) and enjoys it very much, though she laments the absence of cookies. She does not mind my using this as an opportunity to recruit new learners, and certainly doesn't disapprove of subliminal messaging.

Finally, she often rents her signature. I'm not sure what the going price is, but if anything needs advertising, she's your girl.
