So am I, quite literally.

I'll be looking forward to seeing Naiore's response to the current events. :D

Yeah, the original layout of this RPS is the same as your RPG.
Elora and my character names are the same. All else is quite different.

One of the reasons I left this RPG other than some personal issues that was happening at the time was the fact there was a strict time limit imposed on its completion and I wouldn't have been able to get back to it in a reasonable amount of time to have much to do. I see that wasn't the case as its still going on 2½ years later.

Anyway, its good to see you all! :cool:

It is amazing how life goes on in those intervening years! And it is strange that the time frame of this story is so short in comparison! Actually, Pio has been more than tolerent of our RL interuptions, and for that I am very greatful.

Hi, everybody... sorry I have been holding things up so long this time. I plan to have something to post as soon as I get through Christmas. I'll do my best to get it placed on the thread before New Year's. Sorry for the delay! I'm still out there... more or less... It's going to be a hard post & I wanted to be sure to do it right & not with only half of a brain functioning in ME, while the other half is dealing with RL bookkeeping chores, etc.

We can't very well have Naiore musing about inventory and accounting concerns... :eek: :p haha

Well - that could be the answer to 'Where does fear lie . . .'

:) :p

~*~ Announcement ~*~

You are all invited to post in The Yule Log in Rohan. Just read Bêthberry’s introductory post and join in at The Green Man Free House for the next few weeks.

Come share a story of ghosties, and ghoulies, and sharp toothed goblins for the days of the Winter’s Yule while the fire burns bright and warm and the drink flows freely.


~*~ Pio

Hey - Sorry I missed my New Year's deadline. Oops! Just checking in to let you know that I am working on my post. I should have it done sometime in the next couple of days. Sorry for the LOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNGGGGGG delay!

Hello! Just letting you know your reader has settled into a comfortable chair with a cup of good coffee . . .

:)

~*~ Pio

Take your time . . . get your RL sorted first . . .

Enjoy! :D

Nerindel? Pio? Just wanted to drop a note to say that Ealasaide has not forgotten us, and has asked me to let you know that she is both "alive and kicking".

I will keep fingers crossed for the appearance of a post in the near future. :)

OK!

IT'S ALIVE! I mean, I'm alive... :p

Naiore's post is up! Very, very, very sorry for the extended absence....lots of business and personal problems. Hopefully, I'm somewhat sorted out now for awhile. :)

Nerindel, looks like you're on!

More please . . .

Welcome back, Ea! :smokin:

Thanks! :D It's good to be back!

Happiness! :) Yes, it is very nice having you back with us again Ealasaide!

Wow what a come back! great post Eala! ;)

I've kinda managed to get roped into some decorating this weekend :eek: but I will try to fit a post in somewhere, hopefully before Tuesday, as from wednesday I'll be away doing training for 3 days.

great to have you back Eala. :D

Thankee, thankee! :)

I'll be looking forward to your post, Nerindel. You had mentioned a surprise you had in mind earlier, so I am very curious to see what happens next!

Nerindel

Will you be posting soon?

Speaking for myself, I have a post in the works that will close out the Benia/Gilly/Dulrain/Toby group and bring them back to Rivendell for the final posts from that group. I will try to have it finished by the end of the week.

hey ho a sad day my friends Naiore Dannan the great Ravenor of Mordor is dead! And at the hand of a mere mortal no less :P

Hilde do you want to post something for Menecin before I post for Léspheria and move us on to Rivendell for the final posts?

Yes Nerindel, I would like to place a post for Menecin in at this point. Shall I put in a save for it? (And happy belated birthday! I had tried to send you a note, but your PMs were overflowing.)

Nice thought to have the deed done in defense, by the way. I was wondering how you all were going to work it out.

Excellent post, Nerindel! You handled Naiore's demise very, very well. She went down fighting. Great stuff!

I should have the very long-awaited transition post for the other group up this morning, then we can look at clsoing posts & wrap this story up.

Can ya believe it? :)

Well, gang, my Benia post has been placed. #329, for those of you keeping score. ;)

Unless something happens in Rivendell that I feel obliged to comment upon, I do believe that is my final post for this story. I can't think of anything else to add from Benia's point of view. :)

Are there any other posts going into #329 . . . or is it ok to start transferring posts again to the Fan-fic page?

~*~ Pio

That is it for #329, thanks Pio, transfer away.

Yes, that should take care of Post #329. Please transfer away. Thanks!

Pio - If you are waiting for Nerindel to respond regarding post #329, please be aware that you do not need to wait. I have already touched base with her via PM & everyone has agreed that one post from Benia's POV would serve as a transition to move the entire group back toward Rivendell. Closing posts from Gilly, Dulrain, & Toby will be done from there at the end of the LD thread.

Just checking in to say that the post for Menecin is well underway and I hope to finish it up relatively soon, (if I don't get caught in a mental whirlpool that is!).

Menecin's post is now on the thread. Nerindel, I hope that you don't have objections to my having had Vanwe return Menecin's knife to him in the middle of things. I don't know if Naiore would have slipped from him too soon with out the threat of it.

How would an elf feel about death of another? Somehow, it doesn't seem as though it would feel as final as for a mortal. With that thought, I wrote this post from the viewpoint of Menecin seeing it as a long separation of sorts from Naiore rather than something entirely final. At anyrate, I don't believe that he or Vanwe realize that Amandur has been hurt.

A difficult post to write. Well done, Hilde!

Well done folks! :)

Just wanted to post a note here to say that yes I am trying to work up something, though it is coming along rather slowly, and looking like it might grow to a long installment.

We are patient, my precioussss . . . yessss, yessss . . . we waitssss and we wonderssss, my preciousssss . . .


;)

~*~ Pio

Looking forward to it, Hilde!

Well, I have put something out there, shorter than I had thought and not quite what I had expected, but I hope it will do. Sort of as if Eeyore were describing events. *eek*

Ealasaide, I hope that it is OK if I do an end post for Gilly next, which will bring both groups together again. I have put up a save in the meanwhile. Hopefully I won't be so long about it this time. I had a raging case of over analysis going there for awhile!

After that one post from you might sow things up, unless we find too many loose ends.

. . .settling in to read . . . *nod, nod*

Yay! A post! A post! WHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! heehee

Seriously, though, I'll hop right over and give your post a read. I'm sure it is perfectly lovely. :)

So, I will wait, then, for your Gilly post before getting on with the End Post. I'm glad that you have one more to do before I'm up because your timing just happened to land right in the middle of mid-terms! :eek:

(...it feels so bizarre to be back in school again after all these years...)

Happy Birthday, Hilde!

and many more happy returns of the day!!

:D


~*~ Pio http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon13.gif

What a fantastic picture! Thanks, Pio.

(I here I thought I was in for a scolding. I do have a half finished post for Gilly by the way, but keep getting caught up in a certain other game. :D)

Let's Finish!
 

Hey, gang!

What do you say we wrap this puppy up? One more post from each of us would do the trick.

Hilde: your long-awaited Gilly post
Nerindel: a closing post for all or any of your bunch?
Eala: General End post

Let's finish. We are so very, very, very close! :D
