PAGING ALL TOLKIEN FANS! Yes, that means YOU!

[boz4pm]

So. There is a person on my flist who is newly arrived into the Weird and Wonderful World that is the online Tolkien fandom. She wants to find her way around the Tolkien-related Intarwebs and meet fellow Tolkien nerds who might be interested in not just discussing the inner workings of The Silmarillion but also share an enjoyment of fanfic, random

Favourite Tolkien book: Aheh. Pretty much all of the Middle-earth ones, although there are parts of HoME that I'm not as interested in.

Favourite Tolkien character: Probably either Huan or Finrod.

Favourite Tolkien scene, moment or storyline (if you have one): Oh, too many to name.

Give some brief idea of when you first 'discovered' Tolkien, what his work means to you, what you love about it, etc: Just answered this question hereFavourite moment in the movies: The Party, Rivendell, finding Gandalf again (TTT), "Shall I describe it to you", "I bid you stand, Men of the West," Sam carrying Frodo up Mount Doom, the Grey Havens

febobe posts on ff.net and on her LJ, but I don't think she does on SOA. I agree her fic is lovely. :)

[ramblin_rosie]

Seems like she has in the past, but I don't know if she still does. Thanks for the reminder. :)
Oh, and I forgot dreamflower02! I especially recommend Miss Dora Baggins' Book of Manners, which I've had half a mind to copy out longhand onto parchment just for the fun of it.

There are some truly amazing stories out there! :D And so many wonderful authors too. I did this, even if I'm not active in the LOTR fandom now, but it'll always be with me.

[dreamflower02]

Oh, I'd love to see that! *grin* Thank you, dear!

[dreamflower02]

Oh, rats! I forgot febobe! But I'm glad you mentioned her!

Her author profile on ff.net is here:

Nicely done, medically accurate h/c. :)

Rosie - where do you get your SGA stuff? I got starting in fanfic with SG1, but the site where I read from seems to have gone defunct (and it's been long enough now I can't even recall the name of the site just now). I'd love to read some good SGA fic.

[ansostuff]

You read (write?) SG! fic? I even managed that, lol. Where is it if you wrote any?

[aspenjules]

Never wrote any SG1 fic, but reading it is where I started with READING fanfic, before getting into LOTR. However, I had LOTS and LOTS of wonderful storylines running through my head, and one that was post-"The Entity" that was so thoroughly worked out I probably should have written it.

I think the website where I read it was Stargatefan.net or .com... whatever, and it doesn't seem to have been updated for years now. :(

[ansostuff]

I know, there are other sites that are more active these days. Like The Alpha Gate, Area 52 (slash), ff.net. I've only wirtten the one story (which actually is an SGA gap-filler, but SG-1 verse, lol), but I'm constantly having half-formed bunnies jumpoing around in my head. If you're interested, this is the third part, with links to the two first parts:http://ansostuff.livejournal.com/421926.html

For SGA fanfic I can rec you girls the following archive: Wraithbait - Stargate Atlantis fanfiction :)

[ramblin_rosie]

Mostly from FF.n, but jennytork has some amazing stories--in fact, she was largely responsible for getting me hooked on SGA. I think her site is up to date.

of course our own dear Boz
*beams* *huggles you* XD

Oooh, that 'travel routes' site is very useful. WISH I'd had that when I was writing the Panic fics, lol! I was going entirely by guesswork. ¬¬ (Or should I probably not confess that?) LOL!
