Uh, yeah. Good point. Anyway, Tharonwe skips jail AFTER everybody else leaves, right?

mark12_30 · 08-03-2006, 08:28 PM

...sounds familiar, yeah.

ps. I will be gone this next week, with no net. That will make alak's role difficult-- lmp, could you pick up the messenger bag for the week? Please?

ps. Id forgotten that Tharonwe had 'mined' Roy Edwards for useful concepts... nice touch.

littlemanpoet · 08-04-2006, 09:45 AM

Yes, I can do that, Helen. Just PM me the appropriate info.

And thanks for the kudos. The trick is to use it in the future, and cue other writers that Tharonwe is ab-using their characters, and see how said writers flow (or not) with it.

littlemanpoet · 08-26-2006, 08:17 PM

HELLO?

FELLOW TAPESTRY WRITERS?

ARE YOU OUT THERE?

WILL SOMEONE HELP CARRY THE STORY?

OR SHOULD I JUST DO ANOTHER

AND ANOTHER

AND ANOTHER

POST UNTIL THIS IS DONE?

The curious want to know, and I'm curious (not to mention a little impatient).

Aylwen Dreamsong · 08-26-2006, 08:23 PM

I'm here.

But from what it sounds like, the women are done until book two. So unless you want Bellyn to do something else, I'm just hanging tight until the new book is started.

Where's Helen? I hope alak gets her computer soon.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-27-2006, 11:23 AM

I've been sitting and waiting quietly, hoping very [im]patiently that Tapestry I can finish so that I can get to writing with all of you. If I make my eyes wide and beseeching, and perhaps pout my lips adorably, will it help? Probably not... but is there anything that I can do to help out?

mark12_30 · 08-31-2006, 07:05 PM

Helen would you mind post on the Discussion Thread for me?

I'm sorry this is all I can post at the moment, but I think that Formie's
post coming after LMP's seems off. I'm sure it can be easily fixed by
either putting LMP's at the bottom of Formie's or Formie's at the beginning
of LMP's.

Other than that, I'm really trying to find time here. I will have a
computer as quickly as I can, but at the moment work is so hectic I don't
have time to write up or post more than this.

Thanks ~Alak

I like Aylwen's idea of a good-bye post between Ædegard and Leafa; there would also be a less intense one between Raefindan and Mellonin who do after all have a friendship.

I'll copy Formy's post into the beginning of mine, after which Formy can delete his. I promise not to change anything without his approval. (LMP wearing halo)

Nurumaiel · 08-31-2006, 11:12 PM

I apologise for my deep silence! I've been following along, but haven't had much time to do anything beside study. Euclid and St. Thomas Aquinas have been my main focus for the past few weeks.... as well as studying for choir (we sang Mozart's Ave Verum this evening and it was beautiful).

But I'll find the time to post, if not very often. Ædegard and Leafa must have their farewell.

mark12_30 · 09-01-2006, 06:57 PM

I'll stuff this here til I finish the others, and then we can decide where they go...

In the morning, Mellondu dressed and ate, and said little. Father and mother, weary from their late night, nevertheless rose with him and helped him pack.

"You'll bring a good cloak this time, " said Father, and handed him several garments, rolled together. Mellondu took them, surprised, and unrolled them. They were faded and patched, and had an earthy smell.

"Your ranger's garb!"

Father nodded. "You do not quite fill them yet, but you will ere long. They should serve you well, " he said with a nod toward Mother. Mother reached back behind the door, and pulled out a long bundle.

"Your bow? But Father, I am no ranger; I have no skill with a bow. Why should I risk losing it?"

"Perhaps, " said Father earnestly, "you will take the time now, and learn. You cannot hunt a meal with a sword, or with a hammer and tongs. You will be travelling with elves. Learn from them! It was my one wish of Erebemlin and Taitheneb, and they have granted it, asking only whether you desire to learn." Father's eyes asked the question.

Mellondu thought, I would rather learn from an orc. Then shamed by the folly of his thoughts, he saw the wisdom of Father's request, and nodded. "I will learn. "

Mother handed Father's clothing to Mellondu, and he hesitantly put on the jerkin and the cloak The breeches he rolled up and placed in his pack. Then he stood, slung his pack over his right shoulder, hesitated, put the quiver over his left shoulder, and holding the bow he gazed at Father.

Father nodded. "Aye. You will learn many things. Go with our love, son. May the Valar shine on your path."

Mother embraced him, then Father; and then he walked out the door and down the stairs, into the morning sunshine. He did not leave the city yet; he was to return to the inn, and find the elves. But first, he would find his sister. He wondered what she would say when she saw him in Father's clothes.
