Agi
I'm Agi, and this is my
real world name as well. I'm Hungarian but
I'm living in Italy now and I've been a big
fan of Lotr since I was eleven. I joined the
old message-boards a year and half ago, and
now I can't leave anymore, because I love
the people I'd met here. I hope that this
fellowship will last in the time.
Aireal
I've been on the boards since shortly after
Bag End was added. So in the beginning of
2002? It was great to find a place where I
could talk about my obsession and not have
people roll their eyes at me. he he he
I come from Washington State, am married and
have 2 kids. Boys that love to drive me
crazy. ALL THREE OF THEM! LOL I love to
garden (although don't ask me the proper
names of plants), write and spend time
online.
Alanai
Elentari
I am Beatrice (Bette) Love, of Boynton Beach
Florida, and I have had the wonderful
experience of meeting so many of you, either
in Canada or at the "Into the West" Oscar
party. At the Sheraton's pub, we sang great
Hobbit drinking songs and during one of
those evenings I was hailed by a young girl
who says to me "Hi, I am Agi"...I gave her a
hug as I exclaimed "You made it!"
Working with the Scrapbook, built a new set
of wonderful memories, my dear Hobbitlove
and her family, were preciouss to me.
Every time I left to return home, I felt as
like was leaving my family behind...all of
you have become a very important part of my
life.
We share a love for an author that stood for
this world's most important sentiments, love
of nature, friends and valor, regardless of
the circumstances. We are lucky to have a
tremendous set of movies, created after one
of Tolkiens books, The Lord of the Rings;
and what we as members of this fan club have
shared, is truly wonderful.

Hi
everyone. I'm a cross between a Hobbit (by
stature and inclination) and a Ranger (by
nature). And if you think that's strange,
try being a passionate accountant!! I've
been on the boards since around March
2002, with one very high-drama hiatus (for
which I now extend a belated but very
heartfelt apology. I love you guys. I love
ME. I'm really sorry about being a
drama-queen.)
I became a fan of LOTR after the FOTR
film, and although I love the films, I
love the book even more!!! I love all of
the discussions, inklings, insights etc
that I find on the ME boards. I love the
fangirl fun on the FB (Lij -
***swooon***!!!). I love my friends from
the ME board, who are so wonderful in so
many ways. And I love Frodo - always now,
there is Frodo. Because of this fan club I
wrote some Inklings and did some drawings,
things I had either never done before, or
had abandoned long ago.
In the RW I live in western Canada, which
is very similar to Ithilien, but colder
and the snow lasts longer. I was
lucky enough to go to TO to see the TTT
props exhibit, and again to attend the
Gathering in December 2003. I was also
blessed to spend 5 weeks in NZ this spring
and see lots of LOTR film sites, and talk
to several people who were involved in
production.
When I said passionate accountant, it's
not accounting I'm passionate about, it's
LOTR. It's been some of the best times of
my life here!!
Angel2watchoverPippin
My name is Angel. I am 31, the mother of
the cutest 5yr old, and curently taking
classes in Early Childhood Development,
and Photography. I have a few samples of
my photography at my website which is:
www.angelgirl73.friendpages.com If anybody
is interested.
I watched The Hobbit cartoon when I was
little and remember being afraid of
Gollum. LOL When I saw the first LOTR
movie I rememberd it and became very
interested. Needless to say by the end of
TTT I went ga ga. (and I haven't went ga
ga over anything other than the Xmen) The
thing I liked best about the movies are
the characters Pippin and Merry. Folks
this is me and my younger sister in male
hobbit from. Me being the Pippin cause I
can't do anything right. I think Peter
Jackson studied us before he made these
movies.
I have yet to purchase the books, I'm
broke! But I plan to in the near future.
Apple-Cider-Elf
Hullo everyone! I am also known as
'Illúvatar' from the the old
boards. (unfortunately, that name was
already taken) I am not a real newbie,
because I have been on the boards for a
few months, and because of that, I am also
not an 'oldie'. I, like a few other here,
only read the books after FOTR came out,
but I have been a huge fan since. Thanks
to my sister for getting me into it.
My favourite characters are, somewhat in
this order: Boromir, Frodo, Faramir,
Pippin, Aragorn, Éowyn, and
Gandalf. Though I think Faramir is my all
time favourite because he is so sweet,
caring, and gentle. It saddens me how he
is treated by Denethor. yes, I think he's
my favourite.
Aranel
Eruiel
Well my real name is
Sarah. Aranel Eruiel is my name
translated into elvish (if you don't
know what Eruiel is, good! I hate my
middle name. hehe). I'm 24, currently
working toward a bachelor's in computer
programming (Majoring in Java and Visual
Basic). When I'm through I want to get a
degree in digital animation (probably
motion capture) also, so I'm planning to
be in school for a while. I've got no
kids, and refuse to get married anytime
soon. It's not that I've got anything
against either, I just don't want either
right now. When I'm not in school I work
in a hotel (worst job in the world, I
don't recommend it). I've been a member
on here for a while, but I don't post
very often. I started reading Tolkien
books when I was about 9 because I
thought it was neat that we have the
same birthday (also Bobby Hull's
birthday and Mel Gibson's. No wonder I
watch hockey and run around the house
quoting Braveheart for no apparent
reason). My favorite character in the
books is a toss-up between Gandalf and
Faramir. Other than that I've got an
evil sense of humor and take nothing
seriously (just ask my bill collectors.
hehe).
Arwen75
Hello.... I am Arwen75 - a longtime
poster/lurker on these boards - I go back to
the famous days of the One Board. I think I
joined the day after the original board
opened And I have been here pretty much ever
since, although I have tended to be more of
a lurker than anything else.
I am British - and a lecturer in electronic
engineering in real life. I am a 2nd
Generation Ringer - my parents are both
fans, as can be seen by the fact my middle
name is Arwen (hence the handle - 75 is the
year of my birth which makes me 29). I also
have a younger brother who is a fan
(Grimbeorn) and is probably lurking about
somewhere......
I haven't written anything in this fandom
although I have in my other fandom (Horatio
Hornblower) and maybe now my PhD is out the
way and I have finally completed this
semester's marking I might find time.
However I will sometimes join in discussions
at ME.
Aussieme
Hello there. My
name is Aussieme. I Love all things Tolkien, and
have a serious Love of Hobbits. LOTR has got to be
one of my all time favourite Books and Movies. My
real name is Mandy. My username comes from the fact
I was born in Australia, but live in the UK......I
Love to chat to people, and would Love to chat to
you....... T T F N xx

Bamslawler
Mae
govannen, mellyn nin! My name is Lyrkalas,
and I from a small town outside of Chicago
called Big Rock.
My husband tried and tried to introduce me
to the books when we started dating about
10 years ago, but to no avail. Not even
when FOTR come out did any interest
spark--that, I only saw on DVD. However,
the whole thing changed after I saw TTT in
the theater! All of Middle Earth opened up
to me and it was complete and utter love,
lust, obsession, you name it.
I've read the trilogy, The Hobbit, and
some of the Sil and have studied a bit of
Sindarin. Our 5-year old son and 3-year
old daughter have seen FOTR (though we
won't let them see the last 2) and they
know the whole story and all of the
characters. Grandma got our son the full
Fellowship action figure set for his fifth
birthday! My brother has even nicknamed
our daughter "Smeagol," to which she
responds earnestly.
Being a part of the club has opened up a
new world and has graced me with the gift
of new local friends like Lizmybit,
Hobbitlove, Sierra, Tori, True, Vanariel,
and others not so close by, like Truss and
Prim. It's a joy to be here.
Beruthiel's Cat
Hi I used to lurk about the
boards and haiku with Loth when I lived in
north of Western Australia but have moved down
south into the cold to be with my true love.
Met lots of lovely ringers then ( who I have
missed while away )!
No more roos but cats in this palace.
Boriel
i'm boriel (known to some as Rangeress, skanky
ranger, or steel-hearted ranger)
i hail from near Vancouver, BC, Canada and have
been on the boards for, well, i guess close to
two years? I'm married, three stepsons of
varying ages, the youngest of whom just
graduated this year. I have two cats, and a jack
russell doggie and have changed occupations so
many times in the past 10 years that its not
funny...but each job description has to do with
the construction industry and/or first aid and
safety.
i'm a definite boromir convert - i never liked
him much in the book, but sean bean's portrayal
helped find a place in my heart for the big guy.
I"ve always swooned for aragorn - i mean...
strider, and still do. There something about a
guy that can start a fire without matches, find
his way in the dark, and still maintain a sense
of dignity and honor as well as mirth.
being on these boards has enabled me to learn
how to write again - especially poetry and i
have met some really special people as well.
Bowood
Hi all, I'm Deanna from Lower Hutt, New
Zealand. I've been a member of the LOTR
club since 2002, but only started posting on the
boards this year (2005). It is great to
know that there is a communitiy of LOTR fans who
enjoy discussing every aspect of the books,
movies, and ANYTHING to do with the subject of
LOTR. I know this communitiy will become a
home away from home for me.
Brave
Hobbit (our dear Brave Hobbit left
the shore of Middle-earth and sailed away
from us in the autumn of 2012, we honor his
memory)
Mae Govannen, Mellyn! I've been a
'breeze-through' on the old message boards when
looking for information, but I've never really
understood how to 'post' and all that...three
days ago, I finally took a step outside the
door, "not knowing where my feet will take me",
and got internet at my place! So, although I
probably won't have hundreds of posts to my
credit, I'm looking forward to checking out the
community.
I live in Maine, near Portsmouth, NH. During my
early childhood in Montana in the '70's, I had
heard of "Hobbits" and something of an
"in-between earth" (or was that a
"Middle-Earth"? ). I never gave it much
consideration since, except at Christmas of
1990, when my brother came to live with me in
New Hampshire and to finish up high school. He
checked out a book that he had not ever seen in
Wyoming, from the high school library, called,
"The Lord of the Rings"...something about a ring
of power...I refused to hear about it just
because of the word "power" ...He replied,
"But...but...but...." as he tried earnestly to
explain, but I was stubborn... Then, 2 days
after Christmas of 2001, some friends told me
about a movie that I "should really go
see..you'll really like it". Well, there was NO
way I was going to go see a movie about a 'ring
of power' and black riders and fellowships and
hobbits...but my friends kept INSISTING, and
REALLY said I OUGHT to go see it...so, I
relented and went on the 27th of December (I
still have the ticket stub and a scrapbook now
)...WOW!!!! Was I ever underprivileged! BUT, I
didn't know it was a "trilogy"...Aarrgghhh!!!
That was NO way to end a movie! But, then I went
to my school and looked it all up on the
internet....whew! Some guy named "Peter Jackson"
(did I spell that right? ) had filmed it all at
once! It would be released every Christmas for
three years in a row...BUT, I COULD NOT wait!
For the first time in my life, I actually went
and read a book because of a movie! I even
bought a television and DVD player JUST because
of the movie! I bought a DVD player for my
sister in Houston, JUST so she could see it!
(she's now a MAJOR fan! ). My brother (same
little brother with his profound, and rarely
exhibited, patience!) recommended this order:
"The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy,
then "The Silmarillion". Wow! I had been
DEPRIVED since childhood!!! Longer story
shortened: I'm a MAJOR fan and enormously
appreciative of Tolkien/Jackson and the WHOLE
M-E community! I was fortunate enough to see
"Trilogy Tuesday" (in Springfield, Mass.), and
I've already reserved a slot for the member's
preview at the LOTR exhibition at the Boston
Museum of Science on July 31st. If the
exhibition had gone anywhere else other than
Boston, I would not have been able to make
it...The stars of the Valar were smiling upon
me! Since I can't afford to make the
"Pilgrimage" to New Zealand or England, it will
suffice, for now, , to have elements of the
"Pilgrimage" brought here! I look forward to
interacting on these boards with all of you.
Brelene
I'm a Canadian by birth and a Middle Earth
resident by heart. I am from the West end
of Canada in Vancouver BC. I have been a
fan of JRR Tolkein since I was 13 years old(
many many seasons ago) I longed for some
good movies to
portray my much love stories but wow,
Peter Jackson has so outdone all expectation. So
even though I am a long time ringer, I'd have to
say that passion was rekindled into a bonfire
like I didn't think possible. I have a 3
year charter membership and I plan on keeping
that going for as long as I breath or they keep
offering it. I have been a semi regular to
the boards ever since they first started
but I just recently became more active in my
posting and participating. It
is great to be with so many like minded
people. I have 4 sons and one
hubby who, while they don't understand my love
for these stories, they still love me and let me
enjoy my LOTR's. Besides it gives them
sure fire gift ideas that never
miss.

CelebGurth
I am currently doing a diploma of 3D
computer animation, along with another
person on this board, it is due to this
person that I know of the Pony's
existance.
I only really have one (kinda) claim to
fame, and that is that JRR Tolkien and I
were born in the same city.
*Does a little happy dance*

DawnBaggins
Aiya (Hello),
Essenya Ara Baggins, or in Westron Dawn. I was born
in Salt Lake City, Utah and moved to Tucson,
Arizona when I was 7 1/2 years of age with my
parents, mum's parents, and sister and leaving
behind the rest of my family.
My interest in Lord of the Rings started when I was
young and in SLC with the cartoons, which got
me into the movies at an older age. My love
for Lord of the Rings goes to the point where
most fans would love to live in my room and
the Youth Pastor of my church thinks I am absolutely
nutters. I have been a member of The LOTR
Fanclub since December 31, 2002 and I am also a
member of "The Scottish Fellowship",
"The Alaskan LOTR Fanclub"(ALF), The local
"The
One Ring.net" Line party, and various Yahoo
groups.
I have a very interesting personality with
experiance and talent. I am an actress working
my way up to the status same as the cast of
LOTR and I am also a singer. The more
experiance and exposure helps out much. My
Auburn Hair and unique look set me apart from
other actresses.
Hope I did not bore you! Tenn' enquetielva(Until we
speak again). Cuio Mae ar LaitaEru!(Live Well
and God Bless!) Namárië!
Diamond Took
Hello, I am DiamondTook and I joined the old
boards back in november of 2001, before FOTR came
out. I joined as Mrs Pip but later changed it, but
my name still means the same thing. I chose this
name because Billy Boyd's/Peter Jackson's
interpretation brough Pippin's character to life
for me that I never found merely in the books.
I first read LOTR when I was 6 years old, and have
loved it ever since. I would not have called
myself a fan (or a ringer) until the first movie
came out, and I was blown away. I became a 3 year
charter member and have called these boards (now
both old and new) my home since that time, even
though I now lurk alot more than I used to.
I used to be very active in the unnoficial chat,
and hope to be again if we can get more people to
participate. It is found at
http://shire.pointy-ears.net/ *plug plug* I hope
that that can become popular again .
I am very excited to have graduated high school
this year, and I am leaving my home in NYC (though
it has temporarily been CT, long story) to go to
Biola University in LA, California. Besides LOTR,
my passions include any kind of art or craft,
sewing, architecture, etc, as well as animals (I
am a vegitarian), ancient mythology and history,
music, languages, and many other things that do
not come to my mind at the moment.

Elbereth
I've been visiting this terrific site ever since I
discovered it, which would be two days ago. I'm a
teen and live in the US and I'm VERY VERY excited
about this site. *Especially the literature* Finally
a great website with polite fans and wonderous
content! =) I've loved LOTR ever since I saw
the Fellowship of the Ring and I can't wait till PJ
creates (rumor has it he is going to) the Hobbit.
Elf-Princess of Valinor
Hi, I'm the Elf-PrincessOfValinor. I live
in Indiana. Nobody else in my family can stand
Lord of the Rings except my older brother,
Pierre Monteux. In fact, it was HIS idea that I
read the books in the first place, so I guess I
have him to thank. Oh, and it was Hobbitlove who
told me about these message boards. Ever since I
registered, I became addicted!
I first started reading the books in March, and
now I am hopelessly obsessed with LOTR.
I hate school, but I love reading books and
playing the flute. My goal for the summer was to
learn how to speak Sindarin, so I have started
visiting The Council Of Elrond, a place online
where they teach you Elvish, among other things.
I like to talk here a lot, but I am really shy
about meeting people in person, and I never have
any self-confidence. My life's ambition is to be
as good a friend as Samwise Gamgee, but I can
have a really nasty temper sometimes!
ElijahLives
Hi everyone, I just
recently joined the fan club a few days ago. I
am originally from Oregon, but now live in
Anchorage, Alaska. I am 23, married and have a
soon to be six year old son, and a two year old
girl. I first heard of the LOTR when I was
eleven years old. One of my friends was very
passionate about it; her name was Katie Colvin
(Where is she now?) This is where I also get my
handle from. She would recite Frodo Lives every
time she could! I thought she was crazy! A few
years later, I went out and bought and read the
books, and fell totally in love with them and
fantasy writing. After a while I forgot about my
passion for LOTR. Then in Dec 2001 the first
amazing movie came out. I loved it and the TTT
also. I decided though that I wasn't going to
act like my friend, and didn't get too excited
until the ROTK came out on video about a week
and a half ago. That is when I stayed up for 3
nights straight watching all three movies over
again from the
beginning, with the first two including all
never before seen footage, and special features.
For the last week I have heard nothing but LOTR
lines, and have had dreams about hobbits,
especially Elijah (Well I hope my husband
doesn't read this:-)). Finally I decided to join
the fan club and be that crazy ringer person I
should have been twelve years ago. I think my
next step will be to read the trilogy again. As
I said earlier I love fantasy writing,
especially anything to do with LOTR, but also
other stuff as well, and poetry. I am not
especially into literature, but enjoy it more as
a hobby. I am currently attending the University
of Alaska Anchorage, and am majoring in social
work. I am so glad that I have decided to join
once and for all and to declare my love for The
Lord of the Rings!
eliot
There is so much going on
around this site that it takes an age to go from
forum to forum and thread to thread. I think
it'll take me a long time to catch up with
everything that's gone on before.
I first read LOTR when I was studying for my A
levels at 18 or 19 - I borrowed the book from the
school library because it was new and felt good when
I picked it up. I started to read at the same
time as I was listening to the live set on Pink
Floyd's "Ummagumma", and when I was supposed to be
learning my lines to play the Inquisitor in Bernard
Shaws's stage play, "St Joan". Needless to
say, once I had passed the first few chapters I
couldn't put the book down and then had to read The
Hobbit to see what I had missed.
I didn't read LOTR again for quite a few years but
the story and the characters never left my mind -
and for a long time influenced my own writing.
I did watch the cartoon version when it came out and
was horrified because it was so awful, had destroyed
my vision of the books and wasn't even
finished. Because of that, I didn't bother to
see Fellowship or Twin Towers in the cinema because
I expected them to be the same atrocious attempt to
portray on screen Tolkein's marvellous work.
Sure, I saw all the trailers but they did nothing to
encourage me to the cinema. Then, out of
curiosity, I bought the theatre version of
Fellowship on DVD and, from the opening scenes, I
was completely hooked and couldn't believe how well
Elijah Wood had taken on such a typically "English"
role. Peter Jackson had not transformed the
book after all, he had painstakingly created a
masterpiece on film.
I went out then and bought the extended DVD package
of Fellowship and Towers and watched them over and
over, including the extras and listening to the
commentaries - and I was straight to the cinema to
see Return of the King when it was released in the
UK (and wished then that I had seen the other two on
the big screen). Needless to say, I bought the
extended DVD package of King as soon as it was
released and am still haunted by Elijah's on-screen
beauty and his incredible portrayal of Frodo.
I have lots of other interests - I play guitar a
little and poorly now, I write occasionally when I
get a commission, usually features or articles for
newspapers or some poetry or stories, I have
published many poems and stories over the years but
not yet a full volume of my own work or a full
novel. I have always listened to music as well
and can easily live without tv as long as I have
music. My tastes are varied, current popular
music, indie, folk, motown, some classical and
opera, musical theatre. Favourites at the
moment are Damien Rice, Muse, Radiohead, Eliza
Carthy, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon... I'd better
stop there or this list will go on for pages.
3D art occupies a lot of my time, learning all the
time and still trying to stretch the limits of my
computer, expecting it to hold and complete pictures
that really should be done on a massive
machine. But that's typical of me, always
reaching for something better. I guess this
comes from one of my university lecturers who told
me never ever to reach for the moon when you can
have the stars with just a bit more effort.
As a college graduate I guess I am expected to be a
solid, mature citizen but I don't think any of us
ever really grow up because inside we are always so
very young, always learning and always wishing we
could have known back then what we know now.
There's a lot more I could write - perhaps my
biggest problem is never knowing how to precis and
just loving to fill up a page with words. If
there's anything else anyone wants to know, message
me, it's good to talk.
ElvishObsession
Hi! I'm ElvishObsession or EO on the boards and
I am usually found over at the Fellowship Board
swooling and drooning.... *blushes* er, I mean
swooning and drooling unabashedly and having
LOADS of fun. I do lurk at the PP and at ME when
I have time.
I was introduced to all things Tolkien in
December 02 by my teenage son who had seen the
movie. He was so excited about it, that I
finally went to see TTT in January 03. WOW! I
immediately purchased LOTR and read it from
cover to cover and then snatched up The Hobbit
and The Silmarillion. I was hooked. I just had
to know more, I went searching for info and lo
and behold, I found the Fan Club Message Boards.
I lurked for a while and then started posting.
Since then, I have met people who "understand"
and share this love for Tolkien. I have also
gotten to know several other posters who have
become dear, dear friends and have made my life
richer. I hope to get to know more of you!
I am 41 years young, happily married (16 years),
and have four children (5 to 15 years). My
children are also huge LOTR fans... they watch
the movies at least once a week. (And I swear, I
had nothing to do with that! I only bought the
movies! ) I am American Indian (Lakota/Dine) and
live in New Mexico. I am a graduate student and
am finishing an internship this summer in
Educational Diagnostics. I will reenter the work
force in August and graduate in December. Being
able to lurk and post on these boards late at
night has helped alleviate some of the stress
associated with the grueling work load of grad
school. Thanks to all!
((((((((((Everyone))))))))))
Elwen89
I'm still in highschool and I've been a member
from the start!! I read The Hobbit and The Lord
of the Rings when I was about (thanx to my dad,
a huge Tolkien fan since he was a kid!), but
still only managed to get half way through the
Silmarillion. I've LOVED every minute of
the films, I think all the actors are perfect,
and I admire Peter Jackson & crew for their
talent and dedication.
I was born in Australia, went to live in New
York for 2 years, then back to Sydney. When I
was 10 I moved with my family to Italy. I love
art, music (I play the oboe), acting and
travelling (I've been to France, Spain, Potugal,
Greece, Switzerland and England).
I don't post that much on the boards due to lack
of time, but I thin it's great that there are so
many talented people here.
Eowyn of
Ithilien
I fell in love with LotR after seeing FotR in
December 2001 - before that, I had always
apppreciated Tolkien's work, but never really
loved it the way I love these films...
I joined the Fanclub in the spring of 2002 and
apart from the terrific magazine I love the fact
that the Fanclub is a real (online) community. I
have been a Star Wars fan for many years now,
but somehow the SW fan community I know has
never been as nice as the films are. This is so
different; yes, people on the boards do not
always agree, but "we're here on common
purpose".
In real life I do not live in Ithilien, but in a
non-descript city in the south of the
Netherlands. After getting my Master's degree in
philosophy I ended up working for an insurance
company where I got to spend LOTS of time online
- and consequently on these boards. That has
changed in the past ten months or so, as I am
now teaching English to 12-17 year olds! And I
can even share my love for LotR with some of my
students. When not teaching or watching
LotR I love to write (LotR poems and my own
fantasy work...), read and collect books of all
sorts (English literature, children's books,
Tolkien, Star Wars, Britain, space...), teach
myself to play the piano (yes, I can already
play several pieces from LotR!) and watch other
films.
As a final note: why did I choose this name?
Eowyn was one of my favourite characters from
the books - I used to share her feeling of
wanting to change half the world
single-handedly, but like her, I now know that
"valour without renown" is even more important.
Hence the "Ithilien": that is where Eowyn's
future lies.

FanofFaramir
Hello everyone, I have been a massive fan of LOTR
since FOTR first came out and now seem to spend
most my time reading Tolkien and watching the
movies over and over! In the RW I am
29, I live in Devon ‘Shire’ in the UK and work as
a marine biologist studying whales and dolphins
(www.ketosecology.co.uk) and also
write about marine wildlife for magazines. I
have eavesdropped on the boards for ages but
finally found the courage to de-lurk in December
2003 - unfortunately my offshore work means that I
am often away from the boards for weeks or months
at a time, but I visit as often as I am
able. My favourite character from LOTR is
obviously Faramir, whom I really related to after
I read the book and became even more besotted with
after the wonderful David Wenham played him so
well in TTT. I am also a huge admirer of
Eomer, Theoden and Eowyn, and their RW
actors/actresses. Sadly, my anti-social
lifestyle and tendency to compare every man I meet
with Faramir (which of course they cannot remotely
measure up to!), means I have not married nor had
any children! The thing I most enjoy about
the LOTR (and the message
boards) is the sense of hope and comradeship –
something which I personally find sadly lacking at
times in the RW. Apart from LOTR, dolphins
and the ocean, I enjoy horse-riding, all wildlife,
reading and travelling. Any of you visiting
the UK – give me a call!
Firienfield
I am Firienfeld...aka Ang...mother of
5--nearly all LOTR fans (I'm working hard on the
7yr old, but she's just not quite old enough to
"get it" yet, lol).
I don't post much, but enjoy very much learning
about all aspects of middle earth. I'm always
reading LOTR to one of my kids--currently my 10 yr
old son. I have started collecting the toybiz
figures, and my kids can't understand why I don't
open the boxes so they can play with them. I was
very pleased to find "Merry" this past week, who
has escaped my eye every time I have looked for
him--even while vacationing in France last month!
I do love being where the fans are!
Flame of
Thangorodrim
Hey, my fellow Cormari! I'm the Flame of
Thangorodrim. I come from the suburbs of Chicago
and will be a sophomore in high school next fall.
I've been a huge and devoted fan to LOTR since I
read it 5 and a half years ago in 5th grade. I
have reread the book every year...it's kinda like
a tradition now. I joined the Fan Club just after
the Fellowship was released in theaters, and then
I joined the boards slightly thereafter.
Other than LOTR, my main interests include playing
many sports including basketball, baseball,
football, volleyball, and ultimate frisbee,
reading, writing, exercising, eating, sleeping and
getting comfortable to watch a good movie. I also
love music, from rock to classical and the LOTR
soundtracks. I'm a huge fan of the Notre Dame
Fightin' Irish.
I hope to become an accomplished writer someday.
Long live LOTR, it's fans, and the boards!

Gimli2
Hello, there! I am Gimli2. For the past 4
years I have wanted to join the fan club. Now
I have!
I became a Ringer in 1994. Maybe earlier than
that since I watched The Hobbit cartoon in
1985 and loved it. My mother introduced me to
Tolkien's world and soon I was the owner of
The Hobbit and each novel of The Lord of the
Rings.
Currently, I am working on novels of my own
inspired by the writings of Tolkien and other
fantasy authors.
I truly enjoy this site and love reading all
the opinions given. You guys make me want to
read the books all over again...and
again...and again! See you in the boards,
folks!
Gimli's
Sister
I've only been around the boards for a tad
over a year (it seems longer!), but I first
read LotR sometime in the late 80s or early
90s. I love the books and the movies, but I've
only seen RotK (gasp) two times! The first
time I saw it was during Trilogy Tuesday, and
I was completely and totally drained
afterwards. I wasn't ready to see it again for
some time afterwards, but I really enjoyed it
so much more the second time. And I'm almost
ready to see it again!
This message board has been so great that it
inspired me to start a board for a group of
friends! I've really enjoyed being here and
think that I can even handle the change (and I
don't like change!).
I love to read (when I have time) Mysteries,
(Almost) All Things English, Historical
Fiction, etc., etc., etc.; cook (just about
anything - especially Tea Things and New
Things); listen to and play (piano) music; and
I especially like to dream about opening a Tea
Room! I work part time in our family's
business, part time baby sitting, and part
time teaching piano. So that doesn't leave me
with a lot of extra time - and the extra time
is usually spent here. (Or on my healthy
addiction, Online Boggle! )
Gondorian Girl
I'm GondorianGirl. I started out as
Gordonagirl (my RW nickname is Gordon) just
about a year ago. True_Gaudior, my brother, is
married to Hobbitlove and Tori*Took is my
niece. I owe my involvement in LOTR to HL. She
would go on and on about her friends on the
boards. I was in college at the time studying
journalism and radio so I did a research paper
on the LOTR phenomenon (got an A) which led to
a radio documentary for NPR (local only) which
led me to a mini-moot at HL's house. Lizmybit
hornswaggled me into getting a handle on the
message board and lo and behold...I was
enraptured into the LOTR society! I have read
the whole trilogy and am currently reading the
Silmarillion and the Role-play at
Buckleberry.net (very funny people...verrrrry
funny!)
I went to Toronto in December where I met many
of you and won the One Book in the raffle for
pro-literacy. (I am up for visitors and trips
with the One Book!). In fact this coming
Saturday we (the One Book and I) are going to
a Butt-numb-a-thon at a friend's house.
The characters I identify with are Aragorn and
Pippin, but I love Haldir as well. As far as
the actors? Craig Parker, Billy Boyd, Orli
(great eye-candy) and for some odd reason Dom
Monaghan is growing on me. *shhh* don't tell
Tori*Took...I have made fun of his ears in the
past!
I started out in Rockford, IL - moved to
Chicago for school and now I am just south of
Nashville, TN. I have also lived in Austin TX
and St Paul MN and have visited 47 of the 50
states, Canada, and most of Europe. I love to
travel...can ya tell?
I currently work as Assistant
Producer/Research Director for a
Nationally-syndicated Christian talk show
host. www.theprayerroom.com I love radio, the
buttons, the voice-overs, the music, the
callers....all of it!
I have an extremely random love of just about
everything. You can also find more about me at
www.livejournal.com. Just look for me,
GondorianGirl!
GuyFal
Hey, I'm GuyFal, a generic shortening of my
actual name, Guy Falotico. I live in
Stratford, Conn. Became a fan after seeing the
films, and now I'm growing more and more into
the books. I have not done any "mooting",
though I did make it to Boston when the
exhibit was there in October 2004. Hard to
find the time. Basically I enjoy reading the
many takes out here on everything from issues
in the books to nuances from the films. See
you on the boards!

Heartland Hobbit -- see Triba
Hobbit Nurse
Well I'm Hobbit Nurse. I first got into LOTR
with the release of the films. I had tried to
read LOTR some years before but never got into
it. This time I was determined and started with
the Hobbit, and then got hooked (was half way
through the hobbit when I saw FOTR). I then
joined the old decipher boards in March 2002,
and used the unofficial chat room lots.
Well I can honestly say I've met lots of people
because of LOTR. Had some great times, been a
lot braver than before. If I hadn't have been
brave in August 2002 I would probably still be
on my own. What a difference some things can
make.

I am Isilwen from San Antonio tx. I have been here

single mom who is a horse trainer by trade and has
a BA in history. I love LOTR and have been a fan
for almost 20 yrs now.
Itchyelfdude
Ye-ello
there. I am itchyelfdude. I'm from Scotland.
I just left college after 3 years recently,
studying graphic design. After a year out, I'll
be going to university for computer animation
and digital art, like LOTR. As for LOTR, I only
got into them when my friend bought this first
film on dvd! After that I just got obsessed.
I've been a member here since last november I
think, although I take gaps from when I'm here.
Also I like football/soccer. Other than that I
think I'm a boring guy, or not...

Kathryné
I am Kathryn (yes, I know,
not very creative with the screen name LOL!) from
Tennessee. I have been a Ringer since I was 12,
which was a l-o-n-g time ago (don't ask)! I didn't
even know any other fans until I heard about the
movies that were going to be made and started
finding websites. I am a charter member of the fan
club and I think I was on SOME old board with so
many people everyone talked over me every time I
tried to post in a thread. I think one person said
hi to me -- EVER - on that one. I got discouraged
and just kept enjoying the hobby, books and movies
by myself until one night when I was surfing LOTR
sites and stumbled upon the new board... which I
LOVE! I have several other hobbies and am a
sometimes political forum junkie as well as being
involved with lots of contemporary Christian music
forums. I work for a Christian
music website and live with a hobbit scale dog
(a Papillon).
L
Lady Tigerlily
I'm Lady Tigerlily and I've been on the
boards since the end of 2002 (3yr charter
member also). I'm 41 (ouch, did I just say
that out loud??) and I live in sunny South
Florida with my husband and 2 children. I'm
an artist and I paint murals and faux
finishes.
I've been a fan of The Hobbit and LOTR books
since I was a kid and was SO excited to see
them come to the big screen. I dragged my
sister (a newbie to the LOTR world) to each
of the movies and she is hooked now as well.
One of the funniest things that happened was
when I took her to see FOTR. She had not
read the books yet so she was brand new to
it all. At the end of the movie she said
(rather loudly) "That's it? What happens
now? You mean I have to wait a YEAR to see
the rest?" It was too funny! We also went to
Trilogy Tuesday and had the best time! I've
stopped counting as to how many times I've
seen the movies. But every time I watch them
I still cry at Boramir's death, as well as
Aragorn & Arwen's reunion.
I don't post very often though because work,
and family keep me pretty busy. That and the
fact that I'm always fighting with the
kiddies for the computer! But I do visit
when I get a chance. I look forward to "many
meetings" with you all.
Laerlass
Hello! My name is Lindsay, aka Arwen to most
of my online friends. But I decided to go
with something a bit more original this
time, so used Laerlass, a Sindarin name I
came up with which means 'Song of Joy.'
KingundertheMountain gave me the link here
the night before the boards switched, so I
decided to join I (obviously) love LotR, and
my favourite characters are Arwen and
Aragorn, though I love Frodo, Sam, and
pretty much all the others too I was
homeschooled from first grade all the way
through 12th, and I graduated last year. I
now do some studying at home, though not as
much as I should, and one of my greatest
dreams in life is to be a published author.
I used to think I wanted to do more
journalism, but when I read LotR autumn of
2002, I decided I wanted to write fiction,
and Tolkien became my role model, though it
was still a while before I actually started
writing more. I started writing poetry last
fall, and have written some fanfics about
elves. I hope to write a lot more, and
hopefully get something published someday! I
also love music, and I play the guitar. I
love to read as well, and have a long list
of favourite books!
LeggyPants
Hi,
i'm Leggy Pants, but you can call me
LP.....i live in maui, but am moving to LA
in the fall for college. I love singing,
playing guitar and piano, and acting, as
well as LOTR!!!! hmmm....not much else to
say, eh?
Legolas
78
Aloha, I am Legolas 78 and form the island
of Oahu.. I became ahuge LOTR fan when I
saw the FOTR and I was hooked.. I wanted
to know more about Middle Earth and my
co-worker is also a huge LOTR fan
though I never knew that. She
started talking about it with me. My
father has the LOTR book and I started
reading and couldn't put it down.
From there I just wanted more and more!
Then my co-worker got me to sign up with
theFanclub and I became a part of their
Tolkien Society here in Hawaii. I can
never go back. I really enjoy being a part
of the Fanclub. I don't post messages but
I do love reading and looking at
everybody's feelings towards certain
subjects, and the beautiful pictures that
everybody posts of our Fellowship. So, now
I have read almost every book by JRR
Tolkien and what an amazing author he was!
I wish he was my Dad!
Legolasgirl3
I am Legolasgirl3, or, as I used to be
nicknamed before I went into lurking mode,
LG3. *curtsy* Yes, I am a fan of Legolas,
though I love each of the LOTR characters
equally well! I've been a part of this
lovely LOTR community for nearly three
years now, and I, like most of you, enjoy
every moment I spend on the boards.
Unfortunately, I became more of lurker the
last year or so as I devoted most of my
energies to my senior year of high school,
though my heart never wandered far from
the old Pony, which was my first online
community and a second home to me. As a
result of my long periods offline, I
didn't discover that there were new boards
until yesterday, and so here I am, posting
so late! *hangs head in shame*
In "real life", so to say, I am a student
about to enter college in the fall. I am a
violinist and a semi-pianist, and am an
avid fan of classical music. I am a
Ringer, obviously, but I am also a phan
(Phantom of the Opera fan!), as well as a
lover of Star Wars. I enjoy many things,
including reading, being crazy, hanging
out with my friends, and being overly
creative. I hope to major in some sort of
engineering in the next few years, and
hopefully attend graduate school.
Lhunhyandowen
Hello.
I
am Lhunhyandowen (you can call me Lhunhy
since Lhunhyandowen is so long). I live in
America, and I have (sadly) never traveled
outside the country. I am still in high
school, and I will be a junior next school
year. I became a member of the message
boards in June '03, but I usually just
lurk because of my shyness. Unfortunately,
I never read LOTR until I saw the movies.
Now, I am obsessed with LOTR. My favorite
character in both the books and movies
would have to be Legolas, but I also think
that Aragorn is great. My favorite actor
is Orlando Bloom. In my free time, I like
to draw, read, occasionally play video
games, and (obviously) watch LOTR. I
currently work at the cafeteria of my
town's college. As far as careers go, I
hope to become an artist or author (or
maybe both!). I love animals and nature.
Lilywillow
I was a major contributor to the boards
from the early days (I joined around the
same time as Linaewen), and wrote a number
of inklings. In fact, I was there when we
decided to use the word Inkling in our
topic line, and the very first to use it!
I even wrote the first extended storyline:
The Tale of Tolman Gamgee
The writing of LOTR fan fiction changed
the direction of my life. The reason I
became less involved in the board is that
I am in the process (the very loooong
process) of turning that tale into a
children's novel. To my sorrow, I cannot
divide up my time and write Inklings any
more.
So these days I occasionally lurk,
occasionally make comments, but I do miss
the cameraderie of my obsessive days!

Melbryn
Hello to all... melbryn here and i joined at the
beginning, i guess sometime when FOTR was
released. I recently completed an applied
graphics certificate program and am now hoping
to enter the design workforce. I have two high
school teens, a great husband and am wishing for
some wonderful shire weather here in northern
california. It has been too windy of late and i
am less than fond of strong wind! I always try
to keep up on the stories, poems and other stuff
but cannot always find the time to post. i
usually have to think of what i want to say
before i commit it to screen and then that
particular discusion would be over and too far
gone to hope someone would read it!! i would
however start a new thread if it was that
important to me. most times though, i simply did
not have time to participate in most of the
discussions but i do lurk every so often and
love all the entertainment. i hope i can attend
more parties here but life is still so hectic.
so, until the next time...
Minyavasiel
Hello everyone, my name is Minyavasiel. I'm from
Illinois about to start my last year of high
school before I venture out into the great big
world all by myself! I've been looking at
Southern Illinois University at Carbondale
because I hope to major in Public History and
minor in English (hopeing one day to write). A
little nerve racking, but I keep reminding
myself to have faith! It's so great to be here
with others who love Tolkien and Lord of the
Rings.
I am a newbie thanks to TruElvenPrincess who
'has been my friend through many dangers'
(((TEP)))
Well, what else can I say except that I can't
wait for wonderful convos, beautiful poetry, and
my first handful of goo!

I hardly posted at the old mb but the new one
seems to fit me better so hopefully (given the
time) I'll post more often and get to know some
of you
oh well I've been a LotR fan since I read the
books for the first time at age 14. have read
them several times since and of course seen the
movies dozens of times. I love the books and I
love PJs films!

Merry... Add 4 inches to his height after his
ent-draught and you've got my height.
LONG LIVE THE SHORTIES!!!
I'm a hobbit at heart who has the hair of an
elf and the feet of who knows what. They
aren't big. They aren't hairy. (not that hairy
at least) Speaking of body parts, I'd love to
have elf ears... Maybe I should be an
elf-hobbit... hehe...

Orcrist
Hello, Brian/Orcrist here.
I read LOTR in years ending in '0' Read them the
fisrt time in 1980, again in 1990 and before the
movies in 2000.
Compared to some of you I'm not a rabid fan -
only saw the movies twice (3 times for FOTR) in
the theatre, but did go for the 3-year charter
membership.(So my name will be on an Oscar(tm)
winning movie DVD!) And I did joing the Chicago
Fellowship in viewing the Tolkien archives at
Marquette.

Hi, I'm Ruby and although I've been lurking
around the old boards for awhile I have only
posted there about twice. Anyways, I'm a
elementary education student at the UofA in
Canada and minoring in early childhood
education, for some unknown reason I have
decided that I would like to teach
kindergarten. So hopefully in 2 years when I'm
done school that will happen. I have also been
working at a daycare for the past 3 1/2 years
which has been fun as well as challenging at
times.

fact I hope that someday I will a famous singer.
Well, that's me, Ruby, hope to see you around the

I'm at the FB most of the time, although I lurk
here occasionally to see what you folks are up
to
In the RW, I manage a computer lab/library at a
state university. I'm a big Elijah fan, though,
as we say at the FB, I'm an equal opportunity
swooner.
I enjoy movies, reading (fiction mostly), and
music--jazz, lounge, bossa nova are my
favorites. I collect pottery, love cats, and my
favorite food is anything someone else cooks!
Shiredweller
I've been lurking (and occasionally posting) for
almost two years on the old boards. I had never
been involved in an online community but found
myself drawn to this tightknit group of people.
As for myself I will be graduating this month
(June 2004) and will be going to the University
of Lethbridge in September as an english major
taking pre-education. I live near a quiet town
which is near a good sized city (Lethbridge) in
southern Alberta Canada. I love living on the
wide open prairies and am especially drawn to
birds and trees.
I value friends, family, and the environment
over things like money and possesions and have
radical political veiws for a North American. I
believe in equality, tolerating differences, and
that "All you need is love"
SilentMirth
I have been and continue to
be a charter member of the Fan Club, which I
love.
The biggest 'about me' thing is probably being
part of the Dorian Mirth music ensemble. Since
forming just 4 years ago we have had some
amazing opportunities to play at Lord of the
Rings related events:
-Bowlmoot for the first Hollywood Bowl Shore
concert
-all three Line Parties for our hometown
-Two Towers One Party and Return of the One
Party TORN Oscar bashes
-TolCon in Seattle
Anyway, find out more at our web site http://www.dorianmirth.com

When not playing music, I read lots of books,
watch movies galore and fiddle on my web site
Audible

TimeWarrior
Hi - I'm 'TimeWarrior' (a.k.a. Anne)
- my same user handle that I had on the old
board. I originally read and re-read
the Tolkein books back around the mid 70s
when I was a teen, so that makes me an 'old
timer'. After seeing the 1st movie, I
re-read them again to refresh my
memory. It's amazing what I forgot
after all that time. I've hopelessly
falllen in love with it all over
again. I've always loved Frodo the
most. What's best now is that Elijah
Wood's image and characterization of Frodo
is and always will be immortal in film
(alas! my hopeless drool and lamentation:
*Where was a guy like that when I was
young!* - Aiyeee! - guess maybe in my next
life, one can hope).
I currently live in the San Francisco East
Bay Area. Some of you I've met at
previous San Diego Comic Cons, the previous
TORn Oscar Parties including the recent
'Hall of Fire' Oscar Party, and some So. CA
Moots surrounding these events. I'm
suprised that a good number of you come
from No. CA. I so enjoy seeing
all the conversations happening on the Loard
of the Rings Fan Club msg. Boards. I
especially love reading inklings! In
general, all of it really helps me keep up
with all the goings on. I always look
forward to meeting everyone at any planned
events I can make it to.
I do get some pictures of things at these
events but it can take me some time to get
the photos up, so I beg of your
patience! It's been awhile so here I
post a link to my Yahoo Photos (hope it
works) at:
http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/oceans68/my_photos
. Photos from the previous Oscar
Parties are here. I really have to
update! I still have new ones to put
in. See you again soon!
Tori*Took
Hello! I'm Tori*Took!
I have been with this fellowship from the
beginning....I think I'm coming on 2 and a
half years of being on these boards.
I tried reading the hobbit before FotR came
out and I couldn't get through it, but then
I saaw the movie and finished the hobbit
quickly so I could read the rest of the
series....and from then I was hooked (I have
yet to get through the Sil though)
I've met a lot of Ringers from these boards
in the RW at various events and have been
lucky enough to meet some of the cast.
I'm really into acting and hope to make that
my carreer someday (I want to go to Europe
for college to study acting) I am also
really into writing, but never knew what to
write untill I came to these boards....now I
think I am a much better writer because I've
been able to practice on you guys I also
love music...pretty much any style except
HipHop....but I'm partial to Punk/Rock/Ska
(and for anyone who knows them, Five Iron
Frenzy!)
I love Pippin, Sam...both sons of Gondor,
and Eowyn.....Sean Astin, Billy Boyd,
Bernard Hill, Cate Blanchett......and
actually, I think everyone cast in the LotR
is PERFECT for thier part.
I don't think I could ever leave the
community, as I have grown to love you all
too much (however strange you may be!)
Triba
I'm Triba. I live in Missouri. I am an

life's bliss. I am a painter, but would love
to give sculpting and metal smithing a go
someday. I also love to travel and have
visited nearly every state in the U.S.
including Hawaii.
Ummmm...I'm a charter member of the Fan Club
and a collector of LOTRs movie memorabilia.
I'm also a big nut for Star Wars. Actually,
I'm a nut for movies. Period. Old and new.
My favorite color is purple, sometimes red,
sometimes green. I love chocolate. I'm a
tree-hugging nature freak and proud of it.
And...I'm happy to be here.
TruElvenPrincess
This is TruElvenPrincess
here, or TEP for short. I've been a member
of these boards for over two years now. I
was introduced to them by Hobbitlove and
Tori*Took, who happen to live in the same
city as I do (Rockford, IL). I was hooked
the first time I saw Fellowship of Ring. I
remember that I sat next to GondorianGirl,
and I had been crying so much throughout
all the emotional moments of the movie
that the first thing she said to me when
it ended was, "You're a wuss!" Heehee.
Even I have to admit that I'm overly
emotional about most things (movies,
Kleenex commercials, you name it!) After
that first taste of Tolkien, I immediately
went out and bought The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings and buried my nose into
the world of Middle-Earth. I have stayed
there ever since.
Occasionally I have spent time away from
the boards, usually because my schedule
would get hectic, and then I would simply
forget. I'm pledging not to do that
anymore, because I miss so much fun when
I'm away! My family cannot relate to the
Lord of the Rings in any aspect, so I
really appreciate the unconditional
fellowship I feel here. I'm also resolving
to write more LOTR poems. It's been awhile
since I picked up a pen and wrote about
the genius of Tolkien. I love writing, and
it is wonderful to write about something I
love.
I'm a huge swooner for Aragorn and
especially Legolas, but it's far too
difficult for me to pick a favorite
character or the character that I relate
the most too. I love Eowyn because the
troubles of her heart are emotions that
every woman has been through or will go
through. Merry and Pippin are too cute for
their own good, and the friendship between
Frodo and Sam is enough to make anyone
tear up in adoration. And I am fascinated
by the Elves, which is why I chose to
become one on these boards. Mae govannen!

Woodster
I'm Woodster, and I've been a member for some
time now. I'm from Nottingham, England, and a
fan of (besides LotR) soccer, reading, Japanese
anime, creating webpages and adventure
roleplaying. I'm also a member of the British
Army Cadet Force, and am waiting for my
interview for promotion to Sergeant in
August

The Young Took
I've been a regular(ish) member of the message
boards since FOTR blew my socks off way back
in December '01. It wasn't until this that I
fell in love with all things LOTR, so Peter
Jackson and his magnificent vision is
responsible for that. I loved all the heated
debates back in the early days between the
Purists and Anti-Purists (I very much fell
into the latter catagory), but that was all
down to how much everyone cared about
Tolkien's work and PJ's adaptation.
Thanks to the message boards, I have been able
to meet so many other LOTR fans and share my
newly found (two and a half years now
actually) passion. Life would have been so
dull if I hadn't.
The best thing about it all has been meeting
and falling in love with HobbitNurse whom I
now have for my dear wife.
