Ren! *squee*

If you search in the RPG forum all the finish (unedited) TLA's should be there. If you can't find them there, contact KlatuKatt, she's the keeper of the polished copies.

Lotesse · 02-17-2006, 08:25 PM

Really? You were Small No-Name? I'm curious to know, truthiscool, if you happen to live up to your name - that is, Small No-Name's birthday is July 23, 1993, and you claim your birthday is Feb. 18, 1993. Are you one and the same person? You say here that you were Small No-Name. A person cannot have two separate birthdays.

Another thing that puzzles me, truthiscool or Small No-Name, whichever person you are, how is it that you join a Lord Of The Rings board, yet do not have a favourite Lord of the Rings character - you say "how should I know" there in your biography, and "beats me" when it comes to a favourite book out of the LotR trilogy? Do you enjoy any of the characters and books of J.R.R. Tolkien? I mean, you say you hate J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series; so how do you feel about Tolkien's works? Help me understand, here, because this is a forum for those of us here on planet earth (not "in heaven") who share a common bond of love and appreciation for Tolkien's and Rowling's works, so...

Okay, Sherlock, give the kid a break. Depending on which age he is...*scratches head and goes crosseyed with concentration*

Welcome to Entmoot, truthiscool!

Lotesse, you know people are allowed to enjoy the site whether or not they've read Tolkien or J.K. Rowling's books

. People here are also allowed to despise Rowling's books; the site is much more Tolkien focused. And in the Rules posted by Sister Golden Hair in GM, there is no mention of it being necessary to have read the Lord of the Rings.

True, but hmm... Well, he's most welcome anyway.

Lotesse · 02-17-2006, 11:05 PM

Absolutely! I'm just sayin'. I call it like I see it.

trolls' bane · 02-17-2006, 11:24 PM

Well, you're sure observant.

Rev. Justin Timberlake · 02-18-2006, 01:57 AM

Well don't.

Though the age inconsistancy is rather mysterious, I agree. Perhaps a mistake?

Lotesse · 02-18-2006, 04:05 AM

"Well don't?"

Sorry, no can do, there, Ned Flanders!

Gonna call it like I see it 'til the day I die. That's part of what makes me, well, ME.

Lief Erikson · 02-18-2006, 04:29 AM

Just don't always

. It's often helpful when you do that, for it makes us able to see how you're taking things and . . . (pauses to yawn; it's late) that can be helpful. But other times (another yawn) it can be more on the unhelpful side.

Not quite. It was more of a "I don't want to study this...what else is there to do?"
Moment
And thank you!
I love my title too
And it still applies. Perfect!

Oh, Willow-who-changed-your-name, I'm never going to be able to remember to call you by anything except Willow-who-changed-your-name. Just to let you know. I DID find TLA and reread parts, and it was glorious.

And hello to everyone else too!

NazgÃ»l Queen · 02-20-2006, 09:54 AM

Hi Renille! Seems like you and I had the same idea at a similar time.

The other day... I don't know what I was doing. Actually, I think I was thinking about Cassie Claire's Very Secret Diaries, the thing that got me into fanfiction... and then, out of the blue, I remember TLA.

Oh, those were the good days. I'm only just starting to reread it now (it's so very long), but I can't believe I just dropped out of it in the middle of the Sillymarillion. But entmoot was the tolkien-board I stayed with longest, so I suppose that's something. I've sent the links to a friend who sounded interested, though I'd love to track down the hard copy again (or fellowship of the messageboard. *snirk*)

Anyway, dunno if I'm going to stay, what with uni (can't believe i start second year on monday!) and work and writing and not being part of the LotR fandom anymore (though still obsessed - had an extended edition marathon the other week

). But thought I'd say hi.

Renille, I agree with the avoidance of studying thing. My finding of the threads was an avoidance-of-sleep thing last night. And Willow, why the name-change?

Hey Earniel... will have to check out those drawings.

Anyway, nice to see that despite what seems to be over two years away, nothing here changes. Constancy is a rare thing in our ever-changing world, and the one forum I still follow gets regularly nuked

Who really should go to bed, but would rather immerse herself in TLA

***Earniel*** · 02-20-2006, 04:17 PM

NQ! Now there's another blast from the past! I wonder who'll turn up next tomorrow.

Lotesse · 02-20-2006, 04:33 PM

Welcome back, Renille, Lady Ravyn and Nazgul Queen! I never knew you guys from before; I've only been here for a little less than a year, but it's encouraging to see the veterans make comebacks. Nazgul Queen, I do love your name! Nazgirls of the Moot, Unite! *raises Nazgul fist in salute.*

Spock · 02-20-2006, 04:39 PM

..smacks Lotesse with a dead fish.

Lotesse · 02-20-2006, 04:42 PM

But why? *wipes scales off her face and chest, forlornly.* Et tu, Spock?

No political statements in the welcome thread. All such shall receive a slap with a dead fish....it's my own way of keeping this politically friendly.
