Here's an idea for this thread- how about a few people write their posts like an online article from the future? Something like this-

THE BARROW-DOWNS NEWS
Date: 9/17/07

"This has really gotten out of hand!"

Those were the frustrated words of The Barrow-Wight following today's press conference.

"Those two seem to enjoy putting on this sort of circus act."

"Those two", of course, refers to Feanor of the Peredhil and the phantom, two longtime Barrow-Downs members who have, over the years, been both a blessing and a curse to the famous website.

For those of you that did not keep up with the news over the weekend, it was reported on Saturday that Fea had given birth to a baby boy. One of our photographers managed to get a few shots of the child, and that is when the mayhem began.

Everyone who saw the pictures immediately noticed the child's glowing eyes and preference for black cloaks. Then, our lead reporter on the story did some digging and discovered that Fea and the phantom had secretly met face to face for the first time almost exactly nine months before the birth. Understandably, rumors began to circulate throughout the online community, and in response to the rumors Fea and the phantom announced that they would hold a joint press conference the next day in The Barrow-Downs chat room.

The conference was held at 10:00 AM this morning, but it did nothing to answer the questions surrounding the story.

Fea opened up the conference by saying "My baby does indeed look exactly like the phantom, and yes it is true that phantom has obtained joint custody of the child." Then the phantom added "Everything she has told you is correct, and we have decided to name him either Phantom Junior or The Phantom Who Be Short."

But then, perplexingly, the phantom denied any involvement in the child's birth, and to further complicate things, Fea then announced that she was not the mother of the child, and then they both hastily exited the chat room.

There was an immediate outcry of annoyed confusion amongst other Downers. An outraged Saucepan Man proclaimed "Those two should never be allowed in the same conference ever again!"

Another prominent member, Eomer of the Rohirrim, gave his thoughts on the matter. "I'm not sure what to think. I don't know if they're working together or not. Perhaps this is all a clever bluff?"

But mormegil disagreed, saying he thought it was a double bluff.

"Either way," said Evisse, "This is definitely werewolfish behavior."

Fordim Hedgethistle's only response was "+ + Fea & phantom".

We here at Barrow-Downs News will post further updates as the story develops.
