I like both ideas, Melda, I'll just pick one unless you have a fav. We're both from Alberta, Canada, right? That would be an important story factor :)


Yuppers. I'm in Edmonton, if that makes any difference :P Nope, no favorite, you're good to go ;)

Hmm...we never really "met," did we? I know that I very rarely make a point of greeting newbies (not really my thing; I prefer to leave that to people like Gwen and SM :P), so that's not a possibility...I just kinda...am. :D
Although I am perfectly aware that most newbies are scared of me and/or warned about me by others. :teehee:

If you so choose to include me, I'd be much flattered, but I'm afraid I don't have much to contribute as far as ideas. I'm pretty much that weird kid that everyone knows about but very few people really know. (Although something with me and Pippin could be rather...interesting)

Yeah! Imagine AU was a real boarding school that I had just arrived at and we meet. Where, when, why, and all that


Okie-dokie, I'm back. I just had to think on this a bit before I replied.

A bit about me, just in case-
Name: Larael [I think I was known as Larael Greenleaf when you joined, but I can't remember now]
Age: 15
Location: England [and proud of it! If I had a dorm room the walls would be covered with England flags, and other UK memorabilia. :P]
I love using the words "lovely", "brilliant", "Och" [it's a Scottish thing], and "Oi". I'm a long time member of the Welcoming Team, which is where I usually hang out. I also enjoy hanging out in the Guys 'n' Girls Club and the AU Gentlewomen Society.
I also hang out in the LotR-related threads a lot, considering that that is the reason I joined. :P
If I took classes at the AU Boarding School, I'd probably take some kind of Middle-Earth language class, M-E history class, ooh, and a Welcoming Newbies 101. :teehee: There are so many more things I'd mention that I can't seem to think of.
One place you definitely wouldn't find me, is in an archery class or a horse back riding class, or something like RPGing 202. I wonder if they have dance classes at the AU Boarding school... *ponders*
I guess, we would probably meet in class, or around the Welcoming Team, as that’s where I normally see you. I’ve given you some info, so I’m hoping you’ll be able to run with it, being as creative as you are. ;) Good luck!

I found this fanfic at FanFiction.net that I thought you might enjoy. It's really good, and it might give you some ideas for classes and such. :) - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/644826/1/

Ah, you are all just so inspirational, I think I have enough material for a whole book! Hehe.
Thats a great bio Larael! The link doesn't work though :confused:

It's going to be so hard choosing the winners, but as a consolation, this isn't a normal contest, so don't be surprised to find yourself in the story later :D And Pirate, I have an idea for you...don't worry ;)

fI've done it the same way as Supergirl, wihch I hope is OK. This is the first time I've ever submitted any of my stuff I've written, I'm usually too shy...
It had been the perfect holiday for Kess- The joys of her parents divorcing, her gran catching stomach cancer and her brother being arrested for joy-riding being topped off by her beloved beagle Marley being run over by said joy riding brother.And nowterm had started, it hadn't got any better. WML and Scarlett had left to "do their make up" after Kess' temper reached boiling point, leaving her alon in the library with her english essay to finish (Describe the highlight of your holiday). She stabbed the essay in frustration, but only succeded in breaking the pn and splattering ink all over her homework. Kess swore under her breath. Who would she take her anger out on now? Friends- applying makeup, pen- pouring life's blood over "Get an A in Algebra- GCSE maths", and she was far beyond self pity. Her green eyes (hugeley magnified by her mega thick glasses) peeked out from behind her ridiculously long fringe, scanning the library for a victim. There. A first year struggling to interpret the map, looking for all the worl like she'd been dropped in a madagascan jungle, not a boarding school. She stood up, knocking "Why?- A level philosphy" to the floor and grabbed the first years bag. "Excuse me." she said, her voice dripping with venom. "What would you say the highlight of my holiday was- my parents divorce or my dog being killed?" Usually Kess' philosophy of "If you can't be happy make the rest of the world unhappy would bring a smug smile to her face, but looking at the confused and very scared first year, it olhny bought back memories of her in her first term, glasses repeatedly slipping of her nose, and guilt. Guilt, an awful emotion, second only to fake tan onher list o annoying things. "Sorry." she said apologetically, throwing all "Laws of Kess" down the drain. "I didn't mean to be rude. Well I did, at the time, but I regret it. Som first year huh? Need some help with that map?.."

Ok, my bio:
Name: Caunion the Frost Lord (When I joined I was FrostLord)
Age: 15
Location: USA
Other unique things: I enjoy green tea and often drink it. Also a bit quiet and shy. Reads a lot therefore spends a lot of time inside the library. I am also very interested in medicine, biology, mathematics, and chemistry.

And here is an excerpt you might be interested in.

Caunion stood near the library wall with his back towards it. He had just arrived but so far he liked it. His biology class seemed fasnicating as well as his pre-calculus and drawing. And the library seemed well-stocked with books that peaked his interests. The only thing that unnerved him slightly was the fact that his room was room 101 (anybody read 1984?). Though it was bright and sunny outside, Caunion spend his freetime in the library, reading ahead in his math book. Occasionally he would work out problems in the air.
Sudden steps alerted him to reality. He saw two girls (Gwen and Luth), both of them seemed attractive. He brushed his hair along the side of his head as he always did when he was nervous or bored. In this case he was both. He stared at them for a while then continued reading his book. Hopefully they haven't noticed that he was staring at them. He headed towards a table nearby and got out a piece of paper. On it were hundreds of mathematic problems which Caunion scribbled on. He began working on math, looking up occasionally.

Not as good as yours but hopefully it would suffice.

Alright I suppose I shall try...
bout meh:
Name: Eldarwen
Age: 15
Location: California (SO HOT here..geesh!)
I say meh, heh, keh, right-o, okay..., awesome, and bloody, alot. (In rl at least.) I tend to curse a bit when not trying to bloody habbit. Im usually a positive person for the most part. My family drives me insane alot. I have a dog named sparky(beagle/jack), Guina Pig who I swear looks like a squirrell named pippin, Cat named peaches 'n' cream, and a goldfish named Harry Potter. I easily make friends with people and despise stuck up people. Pink is outta the question- its an official no no. (Meaning I hate it) I am a witty person at least most people think :P And I tend to get into trouble from my parents alot without trying. Im a bit of a prankster, and tend to crack sarcastic jokes. Im also pretty independant and like to do things for myself (usually.) And when someones in trouble my mind turns off completely almost and I try to rescue them(in a way..). I tend to read about 5 different books at once. Im also late for class alotta times. You can usually find me around the request thread making graphics for people, or on the fan art section. If I went to this school Id take- Fencing, Language, Litature, Graphic art, Drama, and History.

Thats about me. But im not sure how I could meet you in the story. You dont have to use me for a chapter but id be honored if ya did luthy! See ya around ;)

I'll enter I suppose, though I don't really have a clear idea.

Name: Beriadanwen, known as Beri
Age: 16
Location: Canada

Proud to be one of the original members of the Nazgûl Club (The Evilishy Nazgûl Alliance for World Domination, now). I think that could work itself into the story...one of the evil dwellers of the school ;) I tend to be sarcastic and insulting, but in a friendly way. I'm a perfectionist with straight A's, never late for class. However, I never participate in class. Teachers still seem to like me. I prefer Math & Science to English & French; History is one of my favorite classes. Before I know someone I seem very quiet to them (so I'm told), but once we're friends I talk a lot and this is when I become sarcastic and such. I'm known as a vampire among my friends, and satan as well (:P). I love cats...kind of random, but I'd love to have a black cat if I were in the story :teehee:

There you have it, good luck choosing the winner :)
