I Introduce Myself


Recommended Posts

I obviously wish to introduce myself here.

I'm a librarian from Italy, with a deep interest in Tolkien's works, and in J.R.R.T. related gaming as well.

So there are two main reasons for me to be here: as a librarian i value much every kind of free knowledge exchange, free and cohoperating project developement and so on. As a Tolkien enthusiast i'm very actracted by the subject of what is going on here.

As has been outlined in the introduction of TLA, i feel that the Jakson's films (by the way, the RotK one hasn't already come out here) are beautiful films, but do not match my vision of the books, neither develope faithfully the concepts from Tolkien's works.

So, here i am.

P.S. By the way, are you used to sign with nicknames or real names?

welcome to the WFG-Forums and thank you for your interest in TLA. If you are interested in joining our team (as maybe a literature consultant) feel free to apply here.

anyway - please browse through the TLA site and forums for a short primer on what the project is about and which way we've decided to take. hope you enjoy your stay here and i'm looking forward to read your postings

p.s. about nicknames - in the team it has become standard to include (atleast) the first name (see our .sigs) - but as a forumer you may do however you choose

p.p.s. greetings from your northern neighbor-country :D

Suilad, Horse-master-friend :(

I think you'll find what we're trying to do with TLA quite to your liking, and I'm sure you'll be able to put your skills to use here :(

The project is all about free exchange of ideas - in particular we're trying to kind of explore Tolkien's works through these means to counter the kind of mass commercialism that we are seeing due to the effects of the movies (don't get me wrong, they are great movies). For instance - many new 'fans' of Tolkien will see the movies now before reading the books, and thus will have the movie's imagery emblazoned into their mind, instead of their own unique mental image that they can offer to enrich the community experience, etc. So a large part of TLA is dedicated to exploring Tolkien's work through means more 'respectful' to the individual minds of our fans, gamers, members, etc.
