That was ..... profound! Keep it going. I'm spectating right now. You have this firmly under control. Keep going until you need something from me and let me know.

Noldorin: ?.

Amdir is the father I'm 'using'. Some sources say Amroth was of the "Nandor". If he is really Nandorin, I have some tweaking to do. However "Nandorin" doesn't quite blend with the argument Amroth and Nimrodel had about the Warmongering Intruder Elves coming across the Misty Mountains and ruining it for the rest of us peaceful Silvans.

I'll have to double check that when i get back to my copy of Unfinished Tales.

Maybe I have "Son of Galadriel and Celeborn" on the brain. Tolkien rejected that, as do I, although I admit to toying with the idea of "Godmother" or "Nanny" or some other motherly form of influence that might tie the two contradictory parenting lines together. Auntie Galadriel?

Have patience with me, I'm thrashing....

Sindarin.

...I knew that...

Woof.

Okay, Maegeleb has had his last scream, Nimrodel has defied him, and now Nimrodel and Amroth are once again at the drowning. Now I have to decide whether she learns about Mandos now or later. Later, I think. She needs to get a flyby of the quest but I think she can get that from Erebemlin, or Taitheneb; in a sentence or maybe a paragraph, a post at the max unless there is something more in-depth you want to do with that. Otherwise, she's about to declare that Amroth is True.

She still hasn't heard the song of the stream yet. I haven't forgotten it. I think, after all, it may heal Amroth as much (more?) than it heals Nimrodel.

There should be some more Faerie yet to come, when she does sing it. What else do we need to pull together, and do we want it pulled together when she sings?

I think I'm missing several things. Halp-- Critiques please?

littlemanpoet · 04-22-2009, 06:30 PM

Sorry, I've been preoccupied the last couple days.

The only thing I can think of as missing might be tying in all the various characters - but are they not at ths point pretty much observers?

The one exception seems to be the trio of Raefindan, Mithrellas, and (especiallly) Indil who seems to be growing (pardon the pun) by leaps and bounds as this story reaches its climax. But I'm not sure where this will go. What do you have in mind by having her grow so fast?

Oh, and one more thing. Maybe Maegeleb is done, but I'm not quite sure Tharonwé is. Right now he is merely pathetic. That can't be the end. There is malevolence that got stopped by Raefindan and then buried by the vision of Nimrodel (and the faint hope of winning her); now that that is dashed, Maegeleb (like Smeagol) recedes and Tharonwë wants revenge. I'm not sure how yet. Not sure how he can breka free from Raefindan unless there is outside assistance.

I don't suppose that's helping much with your thought process, but these are just things swirling in my head.
