Re: The New Silmarillion

Apologies Mithadan ,
&quot;regrets&quot; was all I had in mind - not an annotated list of inconsistencies
etc. A hit list is exactly what I was thinking .

The Lost Tales 'fall of gondolin 'was exactly what got me thinking about this when I read it in days of yore.

the footnote /text debate-
if I understand by footnotes you to mean something like:
use silm chap. 2 for the first 3 paragraphs then insert 1st 2 lines of LT 2 page 34.then UTch. 4 3rd and 4th sent. etc.
then yes-this is a legal issue on which our chief wraith will have much to say { or I should say - the final say} I have already a worded disclaimer as I have seen at the begining of star wars fanfiction
which I can post shortly - but as to wether this veneer of pseudo-legality{ more like a plea really } is worth its virtual weight is dubious at best - this point may well have to be a judgement call ,although some of us may have a better idea of precedents esp. in cyber-middle-earth.{this is where permission would be so convienient!}


In terms of where to put linguistics and genealogies { and to this I would add chronologies} I say a set of appendices is the most obvious answer.

the bigger question of what are we aiming to produce ; this I see to be the first item for thecouncil once the procedural questions are settled.
