Hi Estelyn -
While I don't collect the movie-related calendars (with a very few exceptions), I am aware of A BUNCH of them. Re any calendars from Germany, you can do an advanced search ebay using the keywords "Herr der Ringe kalender" or "Tolkien kalender" and searching either Germany (specifically) or Worldwide (generally). You will certainly find many LotR movie calendars (or kalenders!) there. They may, as you note, not be particularly unique but simply German editions of the 'standard' New Line calendars. Thanks for the comments and your welcome. I have met any number of fellow collectors on other boards and look forward to doing the same here. I had seen The Collection Grows thread and skimmed through it. I will take a longer look and post a reply there, also. Away from the Green Hill Country, Parmastahir

Hey! I'm new to the forum world, but I'm a fast learner. I'm not very good at naming things, so this one is a rip off from a Terry Pratchett book. Call me Sally. It's easier to remember (and spell).
Fantasy is my life. Apart from Tolkien, some other favorites include Terry Pratchett, Tamora Pierce, Robert Jordan, Tad Williams, Orson Scott Card (although he's more sci-fi than fantasy)......the list goes on, but I'll spare you and my ability to remember names. Lets just say it's a long list. Home is Wexford, PA, but I'm currently living in Giessen, Germany (a smaller city north of Frankfurt). I'm here with the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Program through AFS, and so far it's been the most amazing experience of my life! I'll be home next August and reunited once again with my overflowing bookcase. Not much more to say other than wOOt, I'm excited to join! |

Welcome to the Downs - and to Germany, Sally! I hope you continue to enjoy your time in this lovely country! You shouldn't have trouble finding "Herr der Ringe" fans who share your interest in LotR.

Greetings everyone! I'm El... I've been a Tolkien fan since 7th grade. I'm ashamed to say that the movies are really what got me into it, but I'm now a dedicated, faithful, loyal...um... *gets out thesaurus* truehearted, steadfast, Sam-like, devoted, true, committed Tolkienite, and I shall be for ever! I would swear the oath Fëanor swore if I knew the words.
I'm a freshman in a high school full of Leggy-boppers and LotR-haters. *shudder* Legolas is my favourite character. Before you come to any nasty conclusions, that's book Legolas! I am not an Orlando Bloom fan! Although I only recently joined this brilliant community, I have been watching you all for a long time. Since I can rarely think of anything witty or smart to say, I might not be very active, but know that I am watching you!  -El |

Lovely. My very first post and already I've earned myself a title: the Admitted Stalker! I feel everso special. Makes me feel like I belong... Thanks for the warm welcome, especially considering corpses are usually so cold.

Welcome El!
Be *ahem* courageous and participate! You won't die to that! (See, you're dead already; you died the day you joined the 'downs.)

Sorry
Hello everybody!
I would like to apologize, to everyone, for my absence the past month. And the inconvinience this may have brought you. I have had an incredible battle with my ISP and been without internet access for more that 2 weeks - yrk! As an aftermath, quite a workload had build itself up on my desk, which needed my attention. In the same period, has been a phase of moving into my new office, together with my new coworkers,. This involved quite alot for painting walls, floors. Decorating, buying funiture, establishing a new kitchen. And getting my IT equipment up and running. Today I can finally say that things are close to asuming normallity With that off my chest, I would like to wish you all a nice weekend. Cheers T

Glad to hear that things are getting back to normal for you, Telch, and welcome back.
I am going to arrange for this thread to be merged with the newcomers/welcome thread, as that is the best place for announcements such as this.

Hello people of this site!!! Welcome me if you dare and I say hello to all fellow newbies!! Um, I am a fan of Tolkien but I'm not a senior fan, so do not expect tons of freakily awesome LotR info from me yet. I am still trying to make it through some books, and I am enjoying myself in the reading process. So, anywhosit, hey.

Hello to all wights
Greetings. I am a newly deceased Tolkien aficionado and I look forward to a long repose among my ghostly brethen.
I have been a fan of Tolkien since I was six years old, and I have read most of the standard books concerning Middle-Earth, including the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and Silm. I have always been fascinated by how Tolkien makes his world come to life, describing in detail the history and geography of all his imaginary lands. You almost get the impression that these stories are a chronicle of events that happened in the distant past. I'm very glad to have found this site and I look forward to some interesting discussions.

Really a warm welcome to you Elnimara, Legolas in spandex and Elatan! You'll be just fine, believe me. And addicted, believe me in that too...
Have fun, join the games especially, they are great fun. So towards the Green Dragon and Tol-in-Gaurhoth junior to begin with! And learn & contribute to the discussions going on! I shouldn't be one welcoming Telchar, with over 2000 posts, but then again, you won't bite me if I will?

I think there's nothing wrong with Nogrod welcoming Telchar...
Anyway, welcome back, Telchar! And a warm welcome to all newbies!

And really folks: there is a new Werewolf game starting and we would need a couple of people to join still! Come and try. It's more fun than you believe. Nerve-stressing and mind-boggling.
Look at the Admin thread WWJ VI, Return of the Midsomer Mawlin: kill me again!

I never introduced myself! So, here goes...
First off, I'm a girl (my profile is just a Monty Python quote; sorry, I know it's confusing!). I'm a freshman in college, and I love everything Tolkien's written (although my brother is far more the expert on such matters than I am). And I'm quite looking forward to the game of Werewolf I've signed up for! I guess I don't really know what else to say. Thanks, everyone, for being so nice and friendly!

Caranlodien, you are doing great!
Welcome! And as Hookbill said, there's always room for one more friend of Monty Python's! There surely is room for everyone, but MP -friends surely are close to my heart... Looking forwards to meet you around.

I suppose I'd better introduce myself...
Hi! I read Lord of the Rings the year the first movie came out--and, of course, was hooked. Hm... I have read all of the basics and some unrelated Tolkien stories... The History of Middle Earth volumes are on my list of to-reads. I am a girl (if there was any doubt ) and I love having alter egos.I came over from TORC to try the RPing here. I'd rather lurk than post, but I'm trying to break that habit. Dunno how often I'll be around...we'll see. Excelsior! ~Dai

Hey, welcome to the Downs, Dairym! Glad to have you!
I think I have seen you in the Green Dragon, and been impressed with your posting and clear writing style. If you are interested in a somewhat slower paced and more involved Inn setting, please stop by the Mead Hall in Rohan. There are fewer people, so it's a bit less frenetic, but the writing standards are pretty high right now, especially with the awesome group we have involved! Lurk for a bit and see if you're interested!
