Hello. My name is Ataralasse. This is a new forum. Prepare to die.

Er ... um ... ah ... ::clears throat::

Heya, my name is Ataralasse. I've been lurking here for a while ... it looked interesting and I'm always on the lookout for Lord of the Rings fans. I think I've found a couple.

Hm, a little about myself ...

Well, if you couldn't tell from my nick, I'm a girl. I've only read The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and bits and pieces of The Silmarillion and The Book of Lost Tales Prt 1. I like the movies done by Peter Jackson, and though I haven't seen the cartoon ones, I want to see them just to see if they're as bad as I've heard.

Okay, that's all I can think to add.

Cheers.

White Tree another newbie

I'm a longtime Tolkien fan (since age 8), but new to the forum. Hoping to get the members' insight into questions that come up for me as I re-read (again) The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.

Welcome to The Downs Alcarcalimo, the place for getting your questions answerd would be the Novice and Newcomers forum or The Books Discution forum all dependin on which kind of questions you have.

If you also enjoy being silly then you have come to the right place, check out Mirth and you will find that we are a very silly bunch of whights.

There is also the Quiz section if you like trivia and riddles. . .

Anyways welcome amongst us dead, I hope your barrow is cold enough.

Yiri's back in town

Well, I'm back. That is to say, I have been registered here before (around three years ago), but apparently my account got lost. I've been on and off BD since eh. 2002? 2001? Something like that. I'm -always- on the chat, but practically -never- on the forum. Actively posting at least, I do read it.

So, lo and behold, here I am. I'm known all over the interwebs as Yiriandur, a nowadays 20 year old girl from the Netherlands, although at the moment temporarily studying in Aarhus, Denmark. You can call me Yiri if you wish.

I'll try to be somewhat active here, for a change. For the first time in my life i saved the url to the forum in my favourites, to visit it more regularly. Wish me luck!

Good luck with becoming an active member, Yiri!

Thank you, Thinlómien. I'm giving it a try, but the forum is so big, it's hard to zoom in on things.

And the same for all the newcomers of late too!

Enjoy your afterlife today! Can one get a better bargain from anywhere else? Being dead but still enjoying good discussions, a fellowship of outstanding and hearty people and a lots of entertainment (RPGs, werewolf-games..)!

Just sit back and relax... and then go for it!

White Tree

I came I saw, I have yet to conquer, but gahh to be a newbie again, gotta love it. Hey everyone, just figured I'd poke in and say hi before I go and venture into the land of make believe.
If I last a day without a mistake I'll be surprised but thats half the fun right?
I look forward to meeting a few friendly faces, and no doubt a few grumpy ones too. Catch me if you can, I'm off to play
