Whew!
 Don't worry about the outline. The story that is being finished up is what counts, not the old outline. Thanks for the reassurance.By the way, I have not forgotten about Jorje. His role will yet be critical. You will see.

More dreams:
http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/sho...&postcount=329 http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/sho...&postcount=299 http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/sho...&postcount=297 http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/sho...&postcount=285 http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/sho...&postcount=282 http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/sho...&postcount=270 http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/sho...&postcount=252 Pages 1 - 6 yet to go, and then I can start on the songs. I have a plot contradiction to deal with. In posts 290ff, Tharonwe forces Raefindan to dream of himself as Imrazor and of Imrazor killing Mithrellas. Then in recent posts I have had Tharonwe not having realized Mithrellas was even there, caring for Nimrodel. How on earth do I resolve this? What was Tharonwe's reason for trying to confuse Raefindan regarding Mithrellas in the first place? Ack! |

The Valar caused Amroth to "forget" 1000 years of history, and waiting, a couple of times. Tharonwe's been so busy torturing the important folks he forgot, or perhaps discounted, the quiet unassuming servants. If they're quiet and unassuming, they must be insignificant anyway. ...Just a thought or so. But I like the idea of Mithrellas hiding herself from Tharonwe, and "letting " him conveniently forget her.

I do like your idea about Mithrellas causing Tharonwe to forget about her amid all his concern about Amroth, Erebemlin, and Roy Edwards and Indil, even - which would be perfect irony.

Well, I was working on a post that involved a flash forward to her wandering in the mountains, but then I reread the outline and saw that Mithrellas leaves first, then she finds Amroths body, all before wandering. Not sure how to go about the next part, but I am working on it.
Any advice would be most appreciated as I'm working on the dream sequence stuff. Thanks!

Also: we don't have to go into grim and gory detail for each and every event. Or we'll be here til 2012.... Somestuff can be flashback, or, 'she remembered forty years of such and such as if it were yesterday..." If you have a "wandering" post that you like, either slap it onto the game thread and see what we think, or, put it up here, and we'll either run with it, or, save it til the right moment, and fit it in that way.
We'll work with ya, Alak!!

Er, well, I am not WORRIED about theoutline, but I would like to know which parts set off your alarms. Mithrellas is stronger than... what? Specifically? Wanting to be on the same page, and all.
