Glad to have you. I'm a sort of oldbie-newbie (Was here for about a month last year, but then COLLEGE!), so we're a bit in the same boat. Glad to have you aboard!
Hi, I'm kind of a newbie here. I've read all of the original series, a lot of the spin offs, and I'm also thinking of writing my own, maybe, if I'm not to lazy. :) Probably not anytime too soon though, don't worry.
Yeah, so, ansyways, I just wanted to say hi... Hi. :D
Don't be shy, we don't bite! Or at least, most of us don't. We usually only go rabid over badfic, so you should be safe. Normally I give people hats as welcome gifts, but your username has inspired me, and therefore I shall present you with a cat-owl hybrid. It looks somewhat like a gryffin, but is smaller and has the head of an owl instead of an eagle.
Welcome a-Board, newbie. Please leave your sanity in the bin by the door, as you won't be needing it here. Along with LotR, which you mentioned, Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia are both relatively popular here, so you won't be alone. Feel free to visit the IRC if you're ever in a chatty mood (the link is above) and drop by the wiki, as it contains the secret to life the universe and everything, as well as other, more plausible things.
And now it is time to present, as is tradition, your newbie gift.
*Drumroll*
Ta-da! A Pygmy Puff, for all your cute/fluffy/fuzzy/cuddly needs. Enjoy!
Never, ever pick up anything that is supposed to be an adjective but is a noun instead. It turns out they multiply quickly. In any case, here, have a noun that was once an adjective. Don't feed it anything but pure espresso and you'll be fine.
Newbies. It's getting to feel like I shouldn't be a newbie anymore judging by the number of newbies I've greeted. :)
So, since pulling random things out of my pockets is my shtick around here, have a calibrated buret (to match Lily's graduated cylinder) one half-full dropper of food coloring, and a bag of popcorn.
Wow, lots of people! :D I feel so loved! Anyway, I love animals of all shapes and sizes, though particularly the fluffy/fuzzy/cuddly/fluzzly ones. Cats and dogs in particular. And I'm a girl. You guys can call me meow... Though Mysterious Somebody from the darkest depths of Original Characterland works too. Up to you.
I'm a big reader, so I would have to choose a book fandom... Gods, so much to choose from... Ah, Well, I would have to pick Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia. This is always subject to change, of course (Gone with the Wind was MAGNIFICENT and I've just started in on LOTR, which seems to be a big favorite around here...). As for TV, I would go with my favorite show, Criminal Minds. No, I'm not a crazy obsessive Reid fangirl... Or, at least I'm not crazy and obsessive... ;)
I read all the Constitution and stuff, don't worry. I'll be good... Well, I'll try. Just kidding! Or am I?
I'm a pretty terrible writer, or at least in my view; too much dialogue, not enough description. But I may write when I'm better, just so that I can send a 5'3 ginger girl with glasses and a knife after Mary Sues. Fun!
... you won't want the CAFfeine that contains furry animals, so have some cans of the reptile stuff.
Warning: May cause dry skin and an inability to blink.

Hi, have some fudge!
What are your favorite fandoms?
Lovely to meet you, sir/ma'am/undefined/other!
I strongly recommend you read the Constitution, if you haven't already - a link is at the top of the Board. Wander through our wild and wonderful Wiki, too, if you are so inclined - you can find a lot of missions and such to read.
If you're after writing your own missions, do check out our Permission-giving procedure, and then hang around so we get to know you. :)
As you're new here, have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object.
Hello there, new guy and or gal. Welcome to the Board.
Hello and welcome aboard! Have a goblet of enchanted liquid - it becomes any drink you desire on command!
Hello, hello! Have a graduated cylinder!
Welcome to the Board! Have some of my hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. Bottled at the Springs of Madness, guaranteed freshness.
...So what are your fandoms, good sir/ma'am/mysterious yet friendly entity?
Welcome. I'm new myself, but i think that doesn't matter in welcoming people, eh?
Ooh, a shiny newbie with a cat-related name! I MUST HUG! (With permission, of course - my shoulder cat says hugging random strangers isn't always healthy.)
As a gift, I present thee with...a glass kitty figurine! Sooo shiny~
Also, have you read the Wiki or Constitution yet? Those are fun to read (even if they don't sound like it - I thought they'd be boring until I read them, m'self.)
