Hi there!

I'm fifteen years old and have loved the Lord of the Rings for a year now, after watching the first Hobbit movie. I've since all read the books and some other of Tolkien's brilliant works, such as the Children of Húrin and the Silmarillion.

I love the movies and the books equally, and I suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder and panic attacks. The characters and the story always make things easier when I'm having a particularly hard day.

I'm excited to be here, as I have a few questions that I can't find answers to, and to just enjoy to site.

Welcome to the Downs, Brego! It's always a good thing when people join who really love LOTR&other books.

Hiya!
I guess I'm little late..
Still- Hello to ALL.
I saw FOTR in 2011 and LOVED it. And when I saw the last movie, I cried like hell (though I do not cry much feeling this is all fictional). I haven't seen the last scene again. Then I read the books and Loved them, too, last year. I'd never expected to read them. But I did. Actually, I'm celebrating my anniversery of reading the books these days.

I would like to welcome Smaug's voice here, once his membership has been activated. Heck, even before!

I hope you enjoy being dead, Smaug's voice.
