Kath and Thinlómien
Your bios and posts look good to me. I've put each bio with your post on this page so I can transfer them to the Discussion Thread.
Just let me know when you feel all your edits to them are complete.
Thinlómien - I've written Perky about the season he wants the game to be played in. I'll let you know when he's replied

Everyone
About using another person's character in your posts - this is what the Red Book says:
Quote:
[Do not use] someone else's character for specific acts, thoughts, or speeches without their permission. On those rare occasions that you speak for another character, be very careful to do it in a way that does not misrepresent them or do anything significant without the permission of the person who owns that character. (For example, if the entire group is fleeing an enemy, you can say that all the characters are fleeing - which leaves enough room for the individual players to comment on their own characters actions. What you can't do is to say that such and such a character tripped, for example, and the foe was upon them, and fear was in their eyes.)
Simply put: Please play your character realistically and within the boundaries of Middle Earth "reality". Don't act in ways that give you unfair advantages over other players. Don't speak, act, or think for another player's character(s) without consulting them. Concentrate on your own character and how they are reacting to what is happening around them.
Players have the right to request that you modify your post when they feel that their character has been misrepresented or unfairly treated. Game founders and/or moderators will mediate any disagreements.

What this means is that if you need to use a character in a dialog/in a scene:
- 1.) If it is an extensive use in a long dialog, then you need to put up a SAVE and clear the dialog you intend to write with the other player first.
- 2.) If it is a few simple responses to a dialog in your post, then you need to put a note on the Discussion Thread that you have used their character and ask there if you have done it in an acceptable manner.
- 3.) You may NOT have another's character act/react or do something in your post unless either you have requested permission FIRST or it fits into the example quoted above, or the writer has already written that the character is doing such an act.
And - if you do use another's character in your scene, the writer for that character ALWAYS has the right to request an edit and expect the edit to be done.
Some writers don't like their characters written for by anyone else but themselves. Please do respect that preference.
Remember this is a game in which situations are set up for your character to respond and act in the way that you feel he would do so. This is not a cooperatively written fanfiction where everyone can write for the cast of characters in order for the plotline to move along.
