Hello you guys! Thanks so much for registering right away.
As you can see, Ethel got a sneak peak!
So ... cheese dip, cookies, champagne etc. are in the Parlour at Bag End. Help yourselves! And join any conversation you see going. (Or start one of your own.)
Greetings to Angel, cem, Frelga, Anthy and vison. I am so glad you are all here.
Please settle in and make yourself comfortable.

Two more to scratch off my list of people to contact to see if they wanted to come check this place out.

If anyone is standing in line waiting to post, I apologize for any slight delays. We have to do manual activations and I think all of us who are able to do that here are kind of running around like chickens without heads right now.
Someone has caught all the new regs, I see, but if you find yourself unable to post, just give us a minute or two. Thank you!
I had been hoping that something like this would happen... and Ethel hinted slightly about it last night, but only along the lines of an elvish whisper in the distance.
Sassy, this is Angel - he doesn't live up to his name all the time!
Angel, this is Sassy - she doesn't live up to her name either - well, at least not all the time!
Enough of a proper introduction?
Hi Frelga!
but being a cheerful hobbit he had not needed hope, as long as despair could be postponed.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
