Hello I'm Linda Hoyland from England.

I have been writing poetry since childhood and in more recent years memoirs and stories about my cats.
I am currently writing fanfic. I started a few years ago with Voyager but now am hooked on Tolkien fanfic,both writing and reading and have several stories posted on fanfiction.net
I usually write Aragorn and Faramir angst and friendship stories.

Best wishes, Linda

Hello and welcome!
'S always comforting to find more and more Faramir fans... helps convince me that, if I am crazy, at least I'm not the only one ;D

[lindahoyland]

Thank you so much for your welcome. I love your stories on fanfic.net.
I'm currently tormenting poor Faramir in my latest story.Aragorn is my greatest favourite but I love Faramir too.

[laerien]

Yes, you are tormenting the whole group really badly...And now, we have a break as well. That's not fair!

Hi Linda!

Just wanted to say 'hi' to the lucky woman who has 4 cats! I'm very envious. It's probably a lot of work, of course, but then again the main function of cat-owners is to serve their cats! Don't kid yourself about who's the boss...

When I lived in London, I had a gorgeous tabby called Louis Charles Henri Napoleon (Louis for short). We gave him that pompous-sounding name because, although he was a very small cat and a mere commoner being just a tabby, he used to swagger around the street as if he owned it and got into regular scraps with other moggies. And he was very good at persuading people to do things they didn't really want to do (e.g. getting up and feeding him at 2am in the morning). I used to wonder if he really was Napoleon reincarnated...

Sadly, we had to leave him behind when we left the U.K. because he was never a good traveller, and used to get physically sick even on short car journeys. I decided I just couldn't put him through the trauma of a long flight. But he's with people who love him very much, so I'm reassured.

Anyway, Linda, I'm looking forward to reading your fanfic. I see that you wrote some previously for 'Voyager' - I was a Trekkie! - which was a show with very interesting characters and plotlines.

btw, you asked about how to post pics of your cats? If you have the pics scanned into a Photobucket account, you just need to copy the URL details from there, paste them into your reply here, highlight them, and hit the 'Insert Hyperlink' tag (under 'Add Tags' near the top of the page). Apologies if someone's already told you about this. Hope you can post some pics of your cats - that woud be a treat.

Hi, Red Queen,
Yes I'm the lucky lady or devoted slave as I call myself in my cat stories ! I'm waiting now for my Leo to get off my lap so that I can eat ! I have two ginger male tabbies,Ginger and Leo and two tortoiseshell and white females, Queenie and Josephine and yes they do own me !
I'm afraid I don't have a photobucket account

It's the easiest thing in the world Linda - and free.

Just go to www.photobucket.com and start one. I wouldn't be without mine. Wherever I am I can go online and look at pictures of my family. Or David Wenham.
