Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I thought that was very productively managed. Every story has a few setbacks, most especially with collaborative writing. Surely, LMP, you remember the right snit I got into regarding the introduction of Roggie into ATM1? We worked it out and look, we've finished game one, moved on to game two, and a challenge we faced turned into a pivotal role in the story. A legitimate concern has been voiced here and it seems to have been dealt with in a way that appears acceptable on all sides. Unless there remains an issue with it that hasn't been voiced? With the group we have here, all ages and personalities working as one to create something not only fun to write but great to read, I'd hate to see hard feelings cloud the process or the result.

Now, if there's anything I can do to provide a bit of comfortable middle ground?

There appeared to be baseless assumptions that looked like personal attacks and aspersions on my character. Apparently that was debating method, and, apparently, during an already bad day, I misread them. I'd like to think so. In fact, none of what I've reread of your posts, Jenny, seems as bad as it seemed yesterday.

Therefore: Jenny, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Please do the same for me. If that's agreeable, we can move on.

[JennyHallu]

Lovely. I'd like to think this is finally behind us. Onward and upward!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Very good.

On a different note, I don't see myself posting on the game thread in the next week or two. Apart from entertaining guests and several other things, I'm starting a new job and dealing with the looming death of my great grandmother. I hope Saeryn and Degas (or Farahil) aren't needed.

Jen, feel free to write Farahil, if you're comfortable with the idea of it. He was going to ask her to return for safety reasons and big brotherly ones, but you beat me to it.

Ye Impish One, feel free to write Saeryn. You know her well at this point. Degas... well... he's just Degas. We can save that Talk until I'm better able to participate in it.

[JennyHallu]

I think delaying the Talk between Degas and Lin until her return will make it all the hairier...especially if lmp and I are able to get some of my ideas for said return hammered out.

Something else for the back burner: At some point Eodwine is going to need to go an adventure to the Gap of Rohan and into Dunland, in search of his wife who he thinks may be alive. I'm thinking that this trip may involve Saeryn, and maybe Degas, and other characters that may or may not wish to go with. While Eodwine is gone, the Steward will be in charge of the Eorling Mead Hall. I will still be writing Falco, Garreth, and Harreld, but with Eodwine gone, that means Marenil is in charage. So, you see how important it is to me that you and I, Jenny, be able to work together. This won't happen for a little while yet, but when it does, I foresee Eodwine being gone for what could be months.

[JennyHallu]

But that's not going to happen for a little while now, so let's not count chickens. I'm sure things will be perfectly fine long before then. I am serious: I have no problems with you, or trust issues. It's something you've got to figure out for yourself. We'll just take our time and see where things take us.

[littlemanpoet]

I will be on vacation from June 15 through June 20. I'll have computer access now and then.

Anguirel, do you want to have Manawyth respond to Eodwine, or should we just move on, figuring that Manawyth 'gets it'?

[Folwren]

I'm very sorry. That last post was way out of place. I neglected to read Elempi's post right before it. I've taken it down and now understand that Thornden is not wandering around with nothing to do but sitting in court again.
