So it looks like we now have

Firefoot
Galadriel55
Nogrod
Rune
Eönwë
Greenie
Oddwen
Legate
Rikae
Formendacil
TGEW
Hookbill
Lommy

Ok, looks like we're more or less good to go, right? I originally thought of doing doubles, in which case we'd need one more if I'm counting right. Or does anybody think it would take too long with 12 players? Also, if we do a single round, please state the nature of the medical emergency, er, no, I mean your preferences as to writing or drawing.

I'm more in the mood for a quicker single round, but I won't object to doing doubles. And no preference.

If we are only doing a single round, then I will definitely prefer to write.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
I have no preference for a single vs double round. If it's single I'd rather write.

Since nobody seems to have any marked preferences it seems to fall to me to make a dictatorial decision. MWAHAHA! Ok, we're doing doubles - which is handy, as we'd need one more player otherwise to come full circle, and I think it's time to get real.

Players (after systematic randomizing):

Pitchwife (write)

Eönwë (draw)
Firefoot (write)
Nogrod (draw)
Galadriel (write)
Formendacil (draw)
Legate (write)
Oddwen (draw)
Rune (write)
Greenie (draw)
TGEW (write)
Rikae (draw)
Lommy (write)
Hookbill (draw)

Eönwë (write)
Firefoot (draw)
Nogrod (write)
Galadriel (draw)
Formendacil (write)
Legate (draw)
Oddwen (write)
Rune (draw)
Greenie (write)
TGEW (draw)
Rikae (write)
Lommy (draw)
Hookbill (write)

Bar any objections, interjections or other jections I'll send the first sentence out on Wednesday, November 11th, coinciding with the start of the carnival season in Germany, which seems kind of appropriate.

Subjections? Projections? Rejections? Dejections? Injections???

Ok, I'll stop.

Pipe Here we are
Paper Telephone is finished - and it's full of surprises (and also a somewhat poor tribute to the late Leonard Cohen)!

Also, just a warning - reading this at work may prove a mistake, unless you're willing to explain to your boss why you're giggling helplessly. Trust me.
