Community Profile

Welcome;

In the spirit of sons_of_gondor, this community is devoted to the descendents of Eorl -- in other words, the Rohirrim of J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy. We seek fanfic, fanart, chatlogs, graphics, icons, links, questions, discussions, linguistics, articles, recs, and other such amusements on the following topics:

Canon Rohirrim: Not just the movie crew (ie. Theoden, Eomer, Eowyn, Theodred, Grima, Hama, & Gamling) but more obscure book characters (ie. Erkenbrand, Elfwine, Elboron), any ancestors leading right back to Eorl himself, and any steeds thereof.

Non-Canon Rohirrim: This includes movie-only characters like Eothain and Haleth. Original characters of an author's own creation are also welcome are allowed as long as they're from Rohan or have close ties to canon Rohirric characters. Don't concern yourself with individuals looking to heckle your characters and call them Mary Sues. They'll be banned from the community if they persist in harassing other members.

Rules;

Postings can consist of any of the following: fics, art, fic/art challenges, graphics/icons, actor/movie info, links to other people's fics/art, links to websites or challenges that would be of interest to the community. We also welcome discussion of character and craft in writing and of fandom in general; however, keep in mind that this is a forum where we can discuss ideas. It is not a place to launch personal attacks stemming from differences in interpretation. All such posts will also be deleted.

As of June 17th, 2010, this community is closed to/does not allow FPRS and RPS. That means fanworks involving characters OR actors. Please visit the multitude of LOTR communities that still support and host said fanworks. Flamers and harassers will be banned and otherwise ignored.

Use LJ-Cuts. ALL stories and artwork (barring G-rated icons) must be placed behind cuts with all necessary headers, disclaimers, and/or warnings. Don't know how to make a LiveJournal Cut? Click Here to find out how.

Do not steal artwork. All art, be it fan or pro, MUST be credited with a link to the artist's website. If the art is not hosted on your own server, provide a link TO the artwork -- do NOT display the image in your post! This is bandwidth theft. We also do not tolerate stolen fanart in icons -- gain permission and give credit where necessary.

Stay on-topic. Every post here must have something to do directly with one of the above characters, actors, or topics. Off-topic posts -- including quizzes (unless the entire quiz is specific to our topic) and general LOTR announcements will be deleted. Repeat offenders and trolls will be banned.

As of June 17th, 2010: Sockpuppets are not allowed.

COMMUNITY PROMOTION is allowed, but please remember to ask permission first via the "Affiliation" post (see TAG: 'affiliates') and that the promotion of a community is once a month only and must pertain to the subject matter of the community (in this case LOTR or the actors that starred in the film).

To avoid spammers, lurkers, flamers and trolls, to become a member you must have an active/established account that you post on a semi-regular basis. If you've been rejected then it is because of the following:
+ There are zero to no entries on your personal journal (outside of the "Weclome to LiveJournal!" Message) since it's inception.
+ You have no associates (friends) nor are you a member of any communities.
+ Your journal is new and not established.
