Im Alexa. I was born in Germany, but my mum was transferred to Washington DC for three years. I love music. I have played piano for seven years.

I am an avid fan of fiction novels. Especially Tolkien and Rowling never cease to fascinate me.
I am hopelessly obsessed with Tolkien and Rowling's works. I have my room covered with drawings and posters. I also try to learn Sindarin, not the Gryelvish proposed for RP's, but Sindarin.
It went so far that my mum does not even react anymore when I try to talk with her abaut HP or LOTR. She just rolls her eyes and walkes away. Oh well...

Well, as I said before, I LOVE TOLKIEN! I think however that we write fan fiction because we want to improve our writing. Canon is important, but I refuse however to become a Tolkien fundamentalist who flames other people just because they do not strictly obey canon.I do however get angry if I send someone constructive criticism and s/he send me back a mail saying something like “OMG how dare u flame m fanfic. It is only fanfiction I can do whatever I want” I get angry. You are free to try out certain plots, but if you end up believing that you are better writer than Tolkien and that you can make Celebrian act like an animal in heat, sorry about that,but it's no it’s just no. Please show some respect to the characters. Just show that you understood that Tolkien intended the characters to act a certain way. No big deal. You can still be creative, without slaughtering the characters.
