The Beginner's Guide To Hobbiton.
Welcome to Hobbiton. Here you may discuss the works of Tolkien as well as works by other fantasy authors. Some pointers to those who will visit and post in this forum.
1. Spoilers
If you've read the books or the series, you'll obviously have an edge over those who haven't. However, many of those readers don't want to know what happens. If you want to avoid spoilers for a specific book/series, my best advice is to stay out of threads pertaining to it. I would like to request people who are going to post spoilers to write "Spoiler:" in the subject, so those who want to avoid it, can. Also, I would like to request people from cross-posting spoiler information, i.e, posting spoilers from one book/series in a thread that is about another book/series.
2. Abbreviations
To those who don't know what they stand for, its rather confusing and extremely irritating. If you're posting some new abbreviation, please indicate what it is. Here's a list of common abbreviations:
- WoT, WOT:The Wheel of Time, a series by Robert Jordan.
- ASoIaF, ASOIAF: A Song of Ice and Fire, a series by George R.R. Martin.
- HP: Harry Potter, a series by J.K. Rowling.
- HDM: His Dark Materials, a series by Phillip Pullman.
3. Out of Context Threads
These threads, needless to say, will be deleted. This forum is for discussing fantasy books and their related effects only.
~* ut I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell,
I know right now you can't tell.
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see,
A different side of me.
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired,
I know right now you don't care.
But soon enough you're gonna think of me,
And how I used to be.*~
