Darn, the name thing didn't work...I'll have to attempt to change it later...

Rian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*tacklehugs Rian*

Guys meet my co-author for some of my stories and 'partner in crime', Rian Ithilmir! Honey, feel welcome here. This is a nice site with lots of things going on. And very nice people too.

Welcome Eruwen! I am the other V-Goddess and a Council Member.
-wen means maiden or young girl btw. Not lady. So it would be maiden of God.

And welcome Rian_ithilmir! Queen... moonjewel? Rhapsody seems to enjoy herself here, I hope you will too. Come by the chat room and say hello sometime. Nuttyness is a pluss, but not a demand.


It's not that easy. Only our very busy King and webmaster Tarrant (mostly known as Taz) can do that. So you have to contact him.


I second that. Case closed.

Well, I suppose I can just leave it. Afterall, I just mean it in terms that she is fairly close to the gods...communicates well with them. Yeah, I know "-wen" means maiden. I guess I was thinking of it in terms of "maiden = woman (or lady in modern terms...but of course not medieval" but "woman does not always = maiden."

Anyway, I'll just leave it...

I know he's probably really busy, but I think I sent a message to Tarrant asking for permission to change my name. Rian_Ithilmir is my character's name in many of my stories, so when I signed up, I thought it would be a nice change of pace. But then, I thought, it's not my pen name, so it would confuse loads of people when I get to posting stories, or well, submitting stories (which was another question I had for Tarrant). [thinks] Gods, a very Tolkien-esque sentence! [/thinks]

Anyhoo... my question is... should I expect a reply from him soonish? Or do I need to ask someone else?

Rian_Ithilmir's author - Isil Elensar

Welcome to our favorite website Rian_ithilmir, I'm happy to have you here.

Usually a PM to Tarrant will get a quicker action than an email, which can get lost amongst all the SPAM.

Hi Rian_ithilmir! Hope you enjoy Planet-Tolkien!

That is exactly what I would have done myself.

Besided that, I suggest you take a look at 'help' under 'your account'. There is a lot of good info there. Also about how to submit stories to us.

Welcome n00bs!

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone.

What I've managed to look at so far is pretty good. I haven't yet been able to spend too much time touring the site (work gets in the way), but I shall once I have the free time. should be Sunday.

Does anyone know what the turn-around is after one submits a story to the PTB (erm, umm, Powers-That-Be)? And will they let you know, or do I just go over to find out?

I submitted a story yesterday...



Thanks!

'Priceless Treasure'

I was going to submit 'Daisy...' since that was my first ever story written in the fandom, but I went with Faramir.

Isil Elensar... Rian Ithilmir's author, rampant

Good for you submitting the story!!! I'm sure the PTB will get back to you! (PTB, LOL!!) Just be patientical. (Some of them read real sloooow...LOL!!! )

Hello everybody I just signed up and decided to say hello.

Amarie,

Isil has sent in two stories: one for the competition, one for the fanfic section on this site. I actually have read Priceless Treasure (which is not the entry for the competition) and that story brought tears to my eyes. If I read what Isil wrote correctly, she wondered how long it will take before a story gets into the fan fiction section. Now with Val on his honeymoon, I gather it will take a bit longer then usual yes?

LOL! I already submitted the story I wrote for the competition. This is another one, and just for the fan writing section. Got the notification today... Thanks, tho!

Ooooo! Welcome back Val

honeymoon eh? sounds like fun! Alas i'm a few years from that moment yet... Congrats and goodluck with the future Val!

Well when you said Powers That Be (in plural) I figured you ment the council and thus the competition. There are now 3 very different ways of submitting a story which involves e-mail and 2 that doesn't, it does help a poor little CM and stressed out bachelor of engineering student in her final year (me, in case somone was wondering) if you ask a little clearer.

Ah Turin!! i See that the avatar you picked. I am glad i found a pic that suits you. If you wish to know, the man on the picture is Rhaegar, from George Martins books, a Song of Ice and Fire. He is the king's son and a fiercome fighter, but in this battle(on the pic) he perishes by the hand of Robert Bartheon. He is from the house of Targrayen, a old house that has a red three headed dragon for its banner. You should see the rest of the pic. Its great. You could probably find it on www.GeorgeMartin.com, his home page.
