Sure! Not the blue ones though... They are MINE! Mine I tell you! Mine....

Elfmaster XK · 04-09-2002, 10:01 AM

Well, i have so many different nicknames its confusing!

im glad i only have to explain one.

But Elfmaster XK originated from my name Xenoia Karris. This is my pen-name created and owned by me!hehe! i use it a lot in my writing. The elfmaster bit is to make it vaguely relevent to LotR, and besides, elves rule!

Elfhelm · 04-09-2002, 07:40 PM

Elfhelm is one of my favorite characters and his name wasn't taken. I go for "strong women" - ermm... I should say, my wife is a Xena-type, an Eowyn-type, etc. I've gone out with other types and they were boring (to me!) So that's why I like him and why I'm glad to carry his name.

Firalphien · 04-10-2002, 12:29 PM

Hey I'm new around here!

My name's my elvish name! I got it from the Barrow's Down website... lol! So how's everyone? Sorry, I really don't know anyone here but i'll learn!

Elfmaster XK · 04-10-2002, 12:35 PM

Welcome to the Moot Firalphien. As you may have noticed we are good at welcoming ppl here! (there are several i'm new here-type threads)

And BoP...blue is my favourite colour...you wanna watch them smarties when im around!!

Rosie-Lass · 04-10-2002, 03:27 PM

Does anybody else (going off the subject a bit) like the yellow sweets more than the rest i.e. JellyBabies? I didn't think anybody else did, but you guys could prove me wrong because you're all so... ahem... diverse. (Me included!)

Welcome to the Moot, Firalphien, make yourself at home, pull up a chair, sit by the fire and absorb all the LotR conversation, (and miscellaneous other convos) and help yourself to some Smarties if BoP will be so kind.

May I please have a Smartie BoP, because you're such a nice person. I like the yellow ones. (See above). I only want one... promise!

Oh, you can share some, fellow conspirator! Oh, and yes, there are some yellow ones left!

PS Hello new person! Not to make you worry or anything, but that barrowdowns site is seriously dodgy. It's names don't mean anything. Best to grab someone who knows elvish (quenya or sindarin), and get them to name you. Or go to this site: Sindarin Dictionary and look up a few attributes about yourself, and then coin them together, (of course asking someone if they are grammatically correct!) That's what I did with my elvish name, cos I know someone who is fluent in quenya.

Firalphien · 04-10-2002, 07:26 PM

Thanks guys! Aww... man I feel so special?!

So what are your fave LOTR sites? Besides this one... lol!

Arathorn · 04-10-2002, 07:34 PM

Oh wow! Another viewer who decides to grace us with a post or 2! Welcome Firalphien!

Firalphien · 04-10-2002, 07:43 PM

Thanks Arathorn! I'm actually gonna try and post as much as I can during the next two weeks, but I can't promise anything... (final's time!) Okay for my next question.... sorry about the questions...

I'm totally into fan fiction and was wondering if someone could recommend some good fan fiction

Welcome Firaplhien! I hope you enjoy your stay here. If you like fanfiction, why don't you check out the fanfictionpage of the Tolkientrail? It's pretty good.

emplynx · 04-11-2002, 07:38 AM

http://www.tolkientrail.com/rivendell/fanfic.shtml featuring The Adventure of Tanlom, by ME!

Firalphien · 04-11-2002, 11:53 AM

Thanks... I definetly will check out your fic! And read everyone elses...

Grey_Wolf · 04-12-2002, 02:06 PM

My name, Grey_Wolf, is inspired by my fascination of wolves (especially Grey Wolves). If you want to get mystical, you could say that "the wolf is my totem".

On the message board of starwars.com it's Polar_Wolf for example.

***azalea*** · 04-12-2002, 02:50 PM

I used the hobbit tradition of naming girl-children after the names of flowers, and azaleas are the flower of my birthplace. Plus anything w/ a "z" in it has to be cool!

Arathorn · 04-12-2002, 11:57 PM

What a nice name Azalea. Flows out like a one-word poem (if ever there is one). I may consider it one day if I decide to have kids.

Firalphien: Go to fanfiction.net and read "Where the Shadows Lie" by Robin, "Time Will Tell" by Jo, anything by Dwimordene - those are the best I've read so far. And if you're feeling really nice, "Post-Modern Periannath" or "The Adventures of Trotter" by MauraMellon (me!).

Yeah she was from ETHIOPIA and was BLONDE ! in clash of the Titans.

very un-PC

afro-elf · 04-13-2002, 07:23 AM

Why afro-elf

Well usually game with characters who look like me.

I like elves. that's the basic reason.

in trying to create an elf in tolkien's world with out altering the world too much I decided to use the Avari. since they were the most varied

below is a discussion from another thread

http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/show...&threadid=2201

the named ended up being Baranavair
which is sindarin for golden brown avari

wayfarer suggest rhogswasellon

which is brown curly haired elf but that's a mouth full and afro- in my moniker did not imply hair style

Well the movie name would be leslie fueregeron

xxx name

never had male pet I named myself.

but The first pet I recall being in the house was maurice

so i guess i would be french maurice feuregeron

ARRGHH !!!!!!!!! i hate the french
