The usual rules apply. No god-RPing, no perfect characters and the like. I need DM's. It doesn't matter how well you can spell, as long as it's English, or at least a variant of it.
Reading the Children of Hurin should help but, failing that, you can always use the LotR wiki. Key things to research are the Valar, Melkor, Beleraind and the races.

Add some description of your village if you can. You can always introduce a follower later. Your pet does not count as your follower.
At the start, there is not plot but by the end there will be a deeply engrossing one in which you can take part in famous battles and maybe even defeat Morgoth. Or the Valar. At the end, depending on the outcome, it might be possible for this to continue further and further into LotR history.
