Administrator of the Month: an interview with Elenisil
How did you find CoE? My little niece heard me talking to a friend about the books and got interested in listening to the story.

After FotR, I got ‘hooked’ on JRRT’s Elvish languages, and was browsing through the ‘links’ on the Yahoo Group ‘Elfling’ (no clue now as to how I even found that!).
