Post subject:  Guard of the Citadel is here!
Hello good people! I am Guard of the Citadel or GotC, as I am commonly known. A little bit about myself...well, I'm ashamed to admit that I became a fan of Mr. Tolkien's great work when FOTR came out. My husband had the books for years but I had no idea what it was about. When the film came out, I was blown away. I immediately began reading (first The Hobbit before the triology), so by the time ROTK was released, I felt like I was the only person in the world who didn't know what was going to happen! (I hadn't gotten that far in the books yet!) But I don't cheat when I read, so I waited with anticipation that night as I watched the film to see how it would all end. And cried like a baby! To date, I've read the triology 7 times. I'm currently reading The Hobbit for the 2nd time. I've attended borth ORC's; the 2nd I was even convinced by my good buddy to attend in costume as.....guess....Guard of the Citadel! So there you have it....that's who I am and my history with LOTR....my continuing love! This board looks overwhelming and I hope to enjoy it very much!

Well, hellooo GotC! :bye2: Glad you finally made it over to the most awesome LOTR forum floating around in cyberspace! :-D I have to admit that this site is huge and can seem overwelming at first but you'll get the hang of it. I haven't posted as often as I would have liked but maybe that can be one of my New Years resolutions. :lol: (I'm so bad)
Anyway I love your avie and banner. Shadowfax is one of your favorite actors of the LOTR trilogy, esp. since you personally met Blanco who portrayed him. Have a blast on this forum and I'll see you around! :hiya:

hey, GotC! :bye2: and welcome! :-D I'm Calloniel but since that's kind formal you can just call me PD (which is what most everyone calls me ;)) or Cal. wow, you've done better reading the trilogy than I have. ;) although thankfully I had read RotK before the movie came out. :P I hope you have a great time here! If you have any questions feel free to ask or PM me or whatever. :) just remember we don't bite here and you'll get a hang of the size and the population of this site fast.... so don't be overwhelmed or scared at first. :P :happy:
see you around!

btw, I LOVE your Shadowfax sig set! :happy: it's so pretty.

WOW! Thanks for the welcome! :-D Thanks, PD, for the compliment on my siggy and avatar. As Elfin Maiden pointed out, I've had the honor of meeting and photographing Blanco (Shadowfax) live and in person. I can't even begin to describe to you how awesome it is to have been "welcomed" by the big, white guy himself! He is simply magnificant! I love horses and when he first appeared on the screen, I think I forgot to breath for a few seconds! Well, when I saw him for real....there are no words!

Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome so soon....I'm very impressed!

Hullo GotC!

I think you'll find that you'll definitely fit in here no matter what time you read the LotR trilogy. We have several people here who still haven't read it, but are very happy to be discussing the movies just as well! Anyway, I do hope you have fun here, and I hope I'll see you around! :)

Once again, my thanks to all for making me feel so welcome here! Yes, I do believe in reading a book or books over and over again. I find that I learn more the 2nd or 3rd or 4th, etc. time through. As I'm reading through your vast board, I'm finding that many of you have been readers since you were young; alas I cannot say that. However, I think I've done a fair job in the time that I've had.

I look forward to exploring your board more and I thank you for all of your offers of help. I may be taking you up on them in the near future!

Thank you all! I have the warm fuzzies already! :)
