I only made it like a week ago, so it's understandable that you wouldn't have known about it yet.
Then again, there were a couple others.
Then again, one got deleted and the other died in 2004, so I felt perfectly justified in making one.
Lucky Egg? Shiny! *puts with collection of lucky pennies and other lucky items*
Hello, all! I'm The Warrior of Many Faces; if you don't want to type all that, Warrior or WoMF are names I respond to. I also happen to be Course Coordinator for The Official Pokemon Fanfiction University.
Confession time: I am not a huge LoTR fan.
Shocking, I know, but honestly, Tolkein's books are a little too descriptive for me. Movie was somewhat better, but...somehow I have forgotten most of it.
In any event, however, I don't actually dislike LoTR, and I know enough about the canon to still appreciate the original PPC and of course, OFUM.
Wih that out of the way, I hope to be able to merge into the general aura of insanity and use it to bring new tortures upon badfic writers.
And possibly to pick up a neuralyzer to scrub my brain after seeing a particularly horrendous fanfiction.
So yeah, I've rambled on long enough here and you probably think I'm a bit conceited talking about myself so much and hey this sentence is too long and is lacking in punctuation so maybe I'd better stop now before I run out of virtual breath.
XD
Greetings, new friend! Have a Lucky Egg!
Ah, an OFU for Pokémon? I didn't realize there was one! Can I get a link to that, please?

Hi! Have some fudge!
Yumyumyum!
First of all, welcome! Have some Bleeprin for the bad memories; neuralyzers tend to cause brain damage if used repeatedly...
Second of all, a Pokémon fan, yay! What's your favorite type and 'Mon?
...type is variable. Psychics and ghosts are cool, but I also like Normal-types for versitility and Steel types for durability. Dragons would be more cool if so many of them weren't 4x weak against ice. Legendaries in general are also cool; I like cosmic nonsense and Legendaries lend themselves to cosmic nonsense.
Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, won't you?
Not that I'm complaining, but I can't help but wonder if you guys think I met a dementor...
XD
And one who doesn't find the LotR books all that interesting!
It's good to know I'm not alone in some things. :)
Anyhow, welcome to the PPC. Here, have some Richard Strauss for the road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34FFDppvIf8
...in concept. It's the execution that makes me snooze.
Thanks for the warm welcome!
... from someone who wanders in vaguely every few months. :)
While I disagree with you on the subject of Tolkien (huge fan here - I'm not in any other fandoms) I definitely concede your point: his prose style is not for everyone, so I don't think you need be embarassed about not liking it. Heck, I once tried my hardest to read Les Miserables and just couldn't get anywhere; it gave me a whole new respect for people who found Tolkien too descriptive. This is hardly a Tolkien-exclusive community, either, so I'm pretty sure you're fine. :)
I guess you like Pokemon, huh? Is that your only fandom or are there others?
I like (in no particular order):
Pokémon, Harry Potter, DC (especially Green Lantern), Marvel (especially Spider-Man), Artemis Fowl, Maximum Ride, The Incredibles, 39 Clues, Avatar: The Last Airbender (show, not movie, and I'm not entirely through the series yet), Doctor Who (9th-11th Doctor), Animorphs, almost anything written by Tamora Pierce, and the Tennis Shoes series. There's probably more, but it's not coming to mind, and in any event, I think that's enough to be going off of, don't you? :)
Haven't read Les Miserables, but I must say, it does look rather imposing. At least with Tolkien, I get fantastical elements that are certainly lacking in Les Miserables. And therein, I suppose, hinges my interests: I like things unusual in some way, whether science or magic.
...I just realized I'm rambling again. Am I verbose or am I verbose?
I approve of your tastes :) Are you familiar with Linkara?
Can't say I've heard of Linkara. *shrugs*
He's an awesome comic book reviewer on thatguywiththeglasses (The Nostalgia Critic's site). I'd totally recommend his videos.
Go Linkara!
What do you mean by comic book reviewer?
He does video reviews of bad comic books: explains what the problems are, including critiques of the art and narrative. From time to time he'll go off on a tangent about something relevant to the comic but also applicable to writing in general, like suspension of disbelief or how to introduce a new character.
He also has a cool meta-plot going involving powerful evil beings trying to take over the world.
Although powerful evil beings seems a bit overused. Then again, if he reviews bad comics, surely he knows that and is avoiding the cliched powerful evil beings.
It is much more complicated than I'm making it out to be, but I'm avoiding spoilers. The last one is apparenty heavily influenced by the Cthulu mhythos, though, to give you an idea, and is genuinely scary.
...the alien with the unpronouncable name. I understand the need to make alien names...well, alien, but pronunciation is equally important, don't you think?
You, my friend, are verbose. Hehe. I am happy to see another Whovian here, it was getting lonely... hehe. I myself am a huge Tolkien fan; I have read Les Miserables and hated every second, hehe. Anyway, Mr. Warrior, here's a plate of muffins. Enjoy.
...what kind, though? Because if they're spinach and rhubarb muffins...maybe they're TARDIS blue-berry. Hmm, must figure out how to make. That'd be kinda cool, if not particularly useful.
Iunno. They be Generic Muffins.
