Hello! I'm Enedbelethiel, and I'm a college student on the east coast. I'm very much new to the Lord of the Rings, though a friend introduced me to The Hobbit in junior high. I have since fallen in love with the trilogy and the movies, and I love anything to do with them. My newfound appreciation was even noticed by my mother, who bought me Nenya last year as a gift. I always wear it, and it's a little piece of the LOTR that I can carry around with me always! I'm very glad to be part of the Barrow-Downs community, and though I've just become a member at the conclusion of the movie trilogy, I am still quite content to talk about it and discuss the past movies and books as well. We still have the ROTK EE to look forward to, so I'm glad of that! Thanks for welcoming me! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome, Enedbelethiel! Enjoy being a fresh corpse and participating in ghoulish discussions...
Ah! Alas for the lack of money to buy LotR things.

Hi..I'm Aleesa. I've just registered. I've been a fan of the books since I was a teen. Seen all the 3 movies and I think the latest LOTR:ROTK was sooooo cool. Looking forward to making new friends and enriching my knowledge of Middle-Earth.

Hello! It is very nice to be here. I've been a Tolkien fan for about thirty years. I've read the books so many times it isn't funny- yet I still find new things every time. I really enjoy debating nit-picky trivial points of the stories. I have also seen all the movies- Rankin-Bass, Bakshi, Jackson. Except I still haven't caught the Return of the King. Soon, I hope! Well, thank you. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome to all newcomers! Aragalen, with that many years of enjoying Tolkien's books, you definitely qualify for "membership" in the Tolkien Coming of Age Club. Unfortunately, there's not an actual place we can meet, but those of us who have been reading Tolkien at least 18 years meet on that thread to share and compare experiences. Come on over - there are enough rocking chairs for all! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Hey all of you, I'm new around here. My name is Gayahuaniel. Don't know really waht to tell about myself. I'm addicted to Lord of the Rings and everything related to LotR and Tolkien. I write my own stories, fantasy stories.
What you want to know, ask! |

*waves shyly* Hi everyone. I'm Alison, and I've been a bit of a lurker on here for a while now. Not really a regular lurker, but a lurker nonetheless. And after going to see RotK for the second time last night and having no one to talk about it with, I ended up actually registering on here, just so I could put in my opinion that Sam's "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" line is the best in the film.
I'm Scottish, in my last year of High School before going on to Uni, and ever so slightly crazy. But I'm sure you'll discover that for yourselves fairly soon. You have been warned. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] |

Arnostae, the majority of the people here on the Downs are completely crazy, so you won't feel out of place!

Hail the conquering hero!
Well, I am not exactly sure why I am intorducing myself here, for I am actually not new to this site, but I have not been able to come here for nearly a year, so I thought that I'd come and say hi to everyone.- HI! Well, I really must be going, but I would just like to say, "Welcome!" to the new folks in this country, and may you enjoy being one of us dead folks. Trust me, dead people parties are much better than live people parties. :-) Namarie.

Man tindome! (Good twilight... I don't know the elvish for "evening"). I don't exactly qualify as a "Newbie". Maybe an "agianie"- I joined about a year and a half ago but had to desist for a while. Then my name became invalid. So know that I have told you my sob story [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Oh, i believe my name before was Willowsilver.
My name wasn't supposed to come out as symestreem... it was supposed to be Tasarewen (Willow Maiden) but I like symestreem anyway. Yes, that is spelled with two "e"s. Looking forward to having academic and totally nerdy discussions about Middle-earth and the finer points of elven etiquette. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Greetings and welcome to everyone here. We shall enjoy being unliving, shall we not?

Looks like we've got some really cool new members! Greetings to all newly dead, and enjoy thy deceasedness! I look forward to discussing all things Tolkien with you all!
My new year's resolution: Read UT and HoME, and post more often in Books.

Hello, my name is Athaniel. I registerd yesterday. I am presently doing a Diploma as a translator and interpreter. Before that I did an M. A. Degree in History and Philosophy. When I was forteen I read LOTR for the first time. I got the English original this Christmas. Although the translation was very good, you cannot beat the original. I am wondering whether any of you have seen the movies? Since I heard about the films I felt reluctant to go, because I did not want my imagination being populated by the characters of the film. Also I heard that much was changed and I found many characters unfitting when watching a magazine on the making of the movies. But what really convinced me not to go was the statement by Tolkien's biographer M. White that Tolkien himself would have hated the film. What do you think?
I hope we are going to have some nice conservations. Greetings Athaniel [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Welcome, welcome, Athaniel!
I'm sure you'd enjoy making a trip to The Movies forum, if you're interested in conversations or debates about the movies. You'll find that many of us have seen the movies and have much input to offer. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Anyway, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! Enjoy being dead.

Greetings my fellow Wayfarers! I am Faralas, who is actually a character I created for an RPG that I'm in the process of writing and developing. 'Tis indeed good to be dead.
I've been trolling this site for a while and find it wonderful. I read the trilogy many years ago (well over 20) and actually took a course on it when I was in college (back in the First Age). *g* I now realize there is a lot about it that I had forgotten, especially with the movies' release. I'm quite fond of Jackson's interpretation of the Trilogy and look forward to seeing the Return of the King. I'm a full-time writer and (as noted above) am in the process of developing an interactive fiction fantasy/adventure game for a publisher in the UK. (I live in the US - east coast). So, that about sums up moi. I'm so glad I found this website. Enjoy! Faralas <font size=1 color=339966>[ 10:24 AM December 31, 2003: Message edited by: Faralas ] |

Hello everyone! *loooks around happily*
A friend told me about this site and I saw the forum...it looks like fun! At least it´s not a place where I get "Fur-reak" hissed into my ear when I tell people I had about two hours of sleep cause I went to the RotK midnight prmiere!:P ;-) What else can I say...I love Tolkien, I love the movies, I love the books...and I´m really exited to meet some fellow "lovers"!

In case you were wondering about my screenname: Jane Austen is one of my other obsessions, and I just adore Emma. |

I have been very busy recently, and probably will not frequent the Barrowdowns as much as in former days, but I wanted to again welcome all newcomers to the best LOTR in the world (that's my opinion, anyway).
Enjoy yourselves, but remember to post well and on topic and ask questions in PMs if you need to (feel free to PM me). Many cheers and Season's greetings! ~ Elentari II

Well, I 'died' aaaaages ago, stayed in this under-world for a time - posting infrequently - then drifted away because of life's darn siren call. But curiousity always appears when you least expect it, and I wanted to come back. Considering that membership has changed completely since I was last here, I re-introduce myself.
Aiya translates as hail, as in the interjectory. My interests are Fantasy (LotR especially), Music (Flute especially), Writing, Reading, Linguistics and Speechwriting. I'm from Downunder, in Sydney. Anyway, here's to a good afterlife surrounded by friends. Aiya

Hi! I'm HKF. You could say I'm not a newcomer because I've been reading over my sister's shoulder since she first joined. As you may have guessed by my signature, her name is Orominuialwen. I've been a member for a while, but haven't been able to post. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
