Biography:
Hi :-)
I'm Pearl Took. I've been writing Tolkien fanfiction since 2003. My specialty is Hobbits though I have written some stories that feature the other races of Middle-earth. I'm slightly older than "The Lord of the Rings" if you use the year that "Return of the King" was published as it's age.
I am one of the moderators here, though I'm not all that proficient at using the site yet.
Hope you enjoy treading our paths.
Hugs,
Pearl
