Maika (and everyone with saves),

If you and Arien have a subplot which is largely independent of the scenes before involving Denethor and Finduilas, then definitely go ahead and post. You know what the basic content of some of those save posts will be-- disclosure of the rumors and denial--and, if needed, would be able to refer to them in a general sense in your own writing.

However, if your subplot hinges on the exact details and words of that earlier conversation (which I doubt), then you'd obviously have to wait till the saves are filled in.

There is one other possibility. If you feel you can write the post, but aren't sure about its placement in the whole string of saves, place your posts the discussion thread and I'll paste them on the main thread in a day or two--in any box you want--once people fill in the blank spaces and things become clearer.

That's probably as clear as mud but I hope it helps....

This same advice goes for everyone. If at all possible, get your save filled in if you can, even if someone in back of you hasn't filled theirs in yet. You could always do some later editing to fine tune things if needed.

It's extrememly difficult to coordinate this many people with saves in a long chain. But, because of computer problems, and because we're under the pressure of a deadline, we're bound to use some in this situation.

Technically, saves should be filled in within 24 hours. But I understand that things may sometimes take a little longer. For example, I can't respond to Siriel until Sophia manages to find a computer where she can post.

One last comment.... Even if you already have something written up on the main thread, if you later feel your post is in the wrong space (in terms of time and chronology, just ask me to move it and I will.

Yowsers! What a mouthful... Everyone get writing and fill in your saves.

Oro I've added another save for you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
