Everything has a beginning

Hello everyone! This is a new Lord of the Rings rps rpg. This one in particular takes place a few months into filming and is going to focus on the relationships made and the things done. We've all heard the stories of the parties, the surfing, and the famous peeing in the fountain, why not play them out and make our own stories up?

This game will be journal and AIM chat based. Interaction in both will be imperative, as will character interaction. Group chats/posts will be arranged as people join and as requested for group events (IE: Going out pubbing, meetings, vacations, etc). Players will be encouraged to submit and discuss plot ideas. This game will be a growing, evolving creature.

To join, email me at the address above with the following:

1) Your first and second choices for a character (please designate your preference)
2) Any RP'ing experience that you have (LJ RPG RPS experience is preferred, but not mandatory. You may be asked to provide a character journal, or if one is not available a writing sample)
3) What time zone you are in and how often you will be available for role play (we will try to have a weekly or every other week chat set at a specific time to keep us all interacting. They won't be mandatory but attendance is preferred)
4) A sample journal entry for the character you wish to play (a paragraph will do, it doesn't have to be a novel--though you're welcomed to make it as long as you like)
5) Your personal LJ (don't worry this will not be shown to anyone not a moderator)

For this game you will need an LJ for your character, an AIM ID and a working email address.

You'll get an email within a day or so, letting you know what will happen next. We advise you NOT to create a journal before you have been accepted to the game.

If you need a journal code to create your character journal, please let the Mod know.
