** General Comments on the Project & Sign Up Thread ** - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Welcome to this very quiet dungeon in the Barrow Downs, Gothmog!

If you succeed in stirring some life back into this project, I will gladly join up in what ever goes forward.

Respectfully,
Findegil

Thank you, Findegil!

I'd gladly begin by assessing whatever you already have done. The impression I get is that you have done some work in some fashion in some places I cannot yet access ;-).

And I'd prefer beginning by commenting on work that has already been done rather by suggesting or bringing up stuff you have already done.

Edit: You might want to delete some PMs so that you can be contacted directly via the board ;-).

It is not so that we have done work in a place that you cannot access. The work is done here in the public forum (only in earlier times some small parts were done in a private part of the forum, more by exident then by intention). But as you of course know, copy right resrictes us from giving very body open access to the resulting text.

Respectfully
Findegil

P.S.: I have clean up my private message box.

I'm not sure how much help I would be, but I would love to get a chance to check out your progress in the private forum. I've only read Silmarillion twice, Children of Hurin once, and none of HoME, but I'm really intrigued with what you're trying to accomplish here.

I want to begin reading through some of the chapters that are still in progress, but the notation system seems rather oblique to an outsider.

I've read the stickied notation post, but it still doesn't seem to cover all the points about what is actually a part of the intended draft, and what is the removed or replaced sections.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong section. Any guidance would be appreciated.

But then, as I've only read The Silmarillion twice and CoH once, perhaps you don't actually want me leaving comments? I know that you are trying to be guarded in respect to the password for the private forum, but I would be happy to stay around and comment. I'm interested in seeing some of the finalized chapters, as the working posts for each chapter don't show how these things end up as "completed" works.

My posting #16 in that thread is probably still a good condensation.

Be asured that we all like to get any input we can get! And we all knew that it is quite difficult to start (since not many of the active members have been starting members).

It might be that you would be disapointed with what you would/will find in the private forum. There are not (at least only in some cases) clean text versions of the chapters. Mostly it is only complete draft texts in the editied fromat. Any chapter that is started here is there in first draft version, the more finished chapters in more than one version. But your are of couse right that it is not easy to work through our often fare ranging discussion and keep track of how the editing evolved. Name the chapter you would like to start with and I will see how I can get you going.

Once again, I've got to apologize for my long absence.

I hope everyone's doing well. Who's around? I wonder if we can try to refresh our memories about where we were and try to make progress on this again. I should, I hope, have a bit more time to devote to this now.
