Bless your heart Ealasaide! I feel much more comfortable with Menecin since he has been less developed and given my short memory and long ramblings.

Thanks Ealasaide I will try to get that stuff to you ASAP. :)

Nerindel - I got your PM. Many, many thanks! That will be very helpful.

I don't know if anyone has been looking at the outline lately - it gets very vague from here on out - but, in case anyone is, I wanted to announce a change of plan. In Act 5 of the outline, I say that Kaldir does not enter Imladris. OOPS!

He DOES enter Imladris with the others.

Please take a look at the list below and let me know if there are any changes needed: :D

OK - I put Nerindel on with Menecin also. :)

Anyone see anything else? :D

Nice to be back! :smokin:

~*~ Pio

Pio I also wrote a post for Naiore.

Alrighty, then . . . other changes?

~*~ Pio

Welcome back, Pio! Your list looks very complete to me.

Hey Hilde looks like we posted at the same time, I moved my post to go after yours as the battle is now over for Amandur and the clear up has begun, perhaps he could bump into Rauthian?

Sure, that sounds good to me. I was wondering what had become of Amandur in this mess! I'll have to go read now. :)

Everdawn ? Are you still planning to have that conversation between Toby and Avanill?

Yeah, i meant to have it up sooner but ive been under a heap of stress this week. Should have it up soon dont fear.. Should I put a save up?

oops I've just put up a post for Toby. :eek:

Everdawn Let me know if anything needs changed.

Beautiful post Nerindel ! Oh Toby! You have been a scallywag haven't you! Poor Gilly at this point doesn't realize what he has done. A lot for this hobbit to ponder....

Everdawn if you want to place your post before mine we could put it there too. Never fear, cut and paste is a wonderful thing!

Ummm... not having gotten any responses from anyone, I am wondering if you guys got the rough outline (for certain upcoming events) that I sent to you via PM. ???

In order to preserve the element of surprise for anyone following along, I have decided not to post it on the Discussion Thread, but it would be nice to know whether or not it meets the approval of my colleagues... :)

!!! What !!!! I'm The Mod - I Should "know" 'things' . . .
 

*sends in her shady, nefarious mole with instructions to ferret out the rough outline

Certain upcoming events, eh?

*drums fingers impatiently on the table

~*~ Pio, the one who usually flips to the last chapter of a book to see if she wants to keep reading . . . ;)

Oh, I see you have caught Pio's attention Ealasaide! Stay tuned dear moderator! You wouldn't want us to spoil the fun, would you? :eek: Meanwhile I for one will be on the watch for pesky moles.
Yes, I found the outline was quite helpful Ealasaide, thanks for taking the trouble to organize it!

OOPS! heh-heh.. sorry, Pio!

But an artist does like to play to her audience and, unfortunately, as far as I can see, you're it! :D

(You have a Mole?! And a shady and a nefarious one at that... hmmm... Maybe I should have used e-mail instead of the PM system. :p ;) )

At last I managed to find time to finish Léspheria and Dúlrains posts! :rolleyes: Sorry to keep you all waiting.

Is there anyone else waiting for a reply from any of my characters or are we ready to continue?

Thanks for your patience
~Nerindel :D

Ack! For a brief moment I thought he would be dead by the end of the last paragraph . . .

oh no, not dead.

Ealasaide would kill me if I allowed him to die now. ;) :p

His physical wound is not that bad, but his emotional one is! :D

Great posts, Nerindel.

Yes... I'm afraid Ealasaide would have to kill you if Dulrain were to die here... ;) :D

Ahgh! I am so determined to have a post for Barrold up asap. I dont know why its taken me so long to think! But im on holidays now so I can devote most of my time to this. :)

Sorry if I have been holding things up. I've been sick all week with a bad case of the flu. I'll try to have something up for Benia today or tomorrow at the latest. :)

Okay... post is up!

OOPS! Post is NOT up... I've decided to rework it a little bit. I will have it back up again soon.

Okay... NOW my post is up. Sorry for any confusion! :D

Fan-fic
 

Hi! :D

I have begun transferring over The Lingering Darkness to the fan-fic site. You can view it HERE .

Fan-fic
 

There is also a ‘Reviews’ Thread HERE .

And if you wish, each of you can write a post on the ‘Authors’ Thread telling a little about yourself HERE .

It will take quite a while to get the bulk of the storyline transferred, so be patient.

~*~ Pio

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Couldn't get the first post box about this to accept 3 hyperlinks - that's why it's split into 3 posts.)

Will we still have a discussion thread?

Ealasaide

I'm not sure what you are asking - but hopefully this is it:

The RPG and its Discussion Thread will remain here on this Barrow Downs' site. I need you to finish the writing here - not on the Fan-fic site.

I have copied all the posts up to your most recent one to floppy - those are the posts I edit for spelling and grammar to put onto the Fan-fic site.

So far, I've gotten the entire first page of the RPG posted to the Fan-fic site, and will start the second page soon.

So just keep writing and discussing here; the Fan-fic site will have the story separated into 'chapters' by the Character-involved's name.

At the Fan-fic site, readers can put their reviews onto The Lingering Darkness Review thread - and you can all say thanks or make a few comments in response to them (though and ongoing, involved chatty dialog between a reader who's given a comment and writers is discouraged - and is best taken to PM).

There is also an Authors' thread, where each of you writers, if you wish, can introduce yourself a little further and talk about why you like to write, etc. No discussion is allowed on this particular thread (It's sort of like the back-flap of the dustjacket of a book where you get a little blurb about the author.)

----------------------------

Once the RPG is completed, it and the Discussion Thread and Planning Thread will ALL be moved to Elvenhome.

Howz zat! Did I cover your concerns?

~*~ Pio :)

AHA! :D

That answers all of my questions beautifully! I had no idea how it would work, whether we would be writing on the FANFIC site or what. Thanks very much for the clarification!!!!!

Nerindel -

Oh...I don't think Benia's going to sit still for this!

Ealasaide

I didn't think she would thats why I stopped were I did, not sure if you would want to post a reply for her or not, but please let me know as I am currently preparing a post for Vanwe that will conclude their healing of the ranger, but I will not be able to finish it today, so there is no immediate hurry.

Yes, I would like to post with Benia! Thanks for asking. :) I will try to be quick about it.

Just to let you know, I've gotten through Page 5 of the RPG posted to the Fan-fic site and will start on Page 6 tomorrow . . . :D

Many thanks for all your hard work Miss Pio!

Nerindel and Everdawn, I do apologize for being to late in getting a post together for Rauthain, but it is in the works. I hope to have it up in the next day or so.

Great Post Ealasaide! Quite beautiful.

Thanks, Hilde! :D

Also, thanks, Pio, for all of your effort in transferring us to the FanFic Site. This is exciting!

MEE TOO! Im sorry! I have been stuck with Barrold but im in the process of thinking and jotting, and thinking and jotting.

YEAH THANKS PIO!
