Thanks Nogrod, I put a post up for Erbrand and Lithor. It was self centered for the most part, but I hope that it will put a new twist on the whole Kara & Erbrand situation.

You are up, Nogrod!

Thinlómien · 04-21-2009, 01:46 PM

Oh, things are going on nicely. I may write for lil' Cnebster soon, unless big ol' Nogster insists on doing it.

Wait a minute, I called for the Nogster first!

No problem, I'd prefer to write for Cnebba myself, so you can have him unless he protests...

Thinlómien · 04-21-2009, 03:26 PM

I felt like writing, so I took Mr Nogster's right to interfere away from him and continued... I don't think he'll be too grieved.

My post is short because I didn't want to put too much words to Ginna's mouth, and also, I'd prefer to see what her real writer will make her say/do now, or what Harreld's real writer will interfere with... looking forward to it.

No protests... I'll write something tomorrow for Stigend & co.

Quite a challenging situation you got Stigend in, Groin!

But that's appreciated!

Nogrod · 04-23-2009, 03:11 PM

I should never promise anything definitive in the RPG's... It looks like everytime I make a definitive promise I'm forced to eat my words...

But my net-access failed yesterday and today I have been busy from early morning up to now - and it's bedtime. I'll come back to this "in a few days" (I hope that is vague enough). Sorry.

littlemanpoet · 04-25-2009, 06:15 PM

Your turn Foley.

Thinlómien · 04-27-2009, 04:53 AM

LMP, let me know if I've mishandled Eodwemer or if you want me to change some of his sayings to more "Old English-ish" form and I'll be happy to edit...

What is there to write anymore before we can move on to the actual wedding ceremony? Foley's reply to LMP and Nog's reply to Groin? Anything else?

littlemanpoet · 05-09-2009, 08:32 PM

The wife and I are off to Kentucky for a week's vacation and I do not foresee having computer access. I expect to be back Saturday night. Carry on!

littlemanpoet · 05-16-2009, 08:35 PM

I'm back.

And I have double posted.

I am frankly astounded by that.

Maybe I shouldn't be.

Why has nothing happened in the last 7 days?

I'm beginning to think that no one is really interested in this and it might as well not continue.

So is this still worth the time and energy I'm putting into it?

If so, please prove it to me.

You know how.

Maybe my earlier post already answered some of that from my part (this has been going on for the last few weeks already)

But come June / July I'm ready to write (and to plot) a lot more. Indeed a lot as I think I have a few ideas then - depending on your ideas lmp to be sure. But we should discuss them in a few weeks time as now I just have no time for any lengthier discussion.

I can see your frustration lmp but I just had no chance of writing anything last week even if I wanted to. Too much work. Like it always turns out to be in May.

Folwren · 05-17-2009, 08:23 PM

Did you remove your double post, because I don't see it?

And that is really very ungenerous of you to suggest the lack of interest. I DO understand your frustration, but at the same time I do wish you'd have more understanding for us poor college people who aren't out of school yet and happen to have some... never mind. Life's been hard, that's all.

I posted something. I wrote it last night, actually, between 12 and 12:30 a.m. Not a good thing, but it came to me then, and I didn't want to forget it. Have fun with it.

Did you and the Mrs. have fun, by the way? Kentucky is a beautiful place, I've driven through it a few times. Did you get to ride any horses? If I ever got to Kentucky, that's what I want to do.

Groin Redbeard · 05-18-2009, 11:08 AM

I just read my post over and I realized that the ending might be a little misleading. I don't want any of y'all to get the impression that my post is starting the ceremony.

The characters are simply getting ready, so everyone still has time before the wedding begins. Besides, I'm pretty sure LMP would like to be the one to start things.

Folwren · 05-18-2009, 11:39 AM

Lommy or Nogrod, I posted something for Javan and it requires a response from Cnebba and probably Garmund.

I hope Lommy could do it.

I have now a two weeks of utter chaos ahead of me. Like gazillions of things to do with no time to use on anything other than the next deadline: philosophy Olympiad -organisation for 150 people around the world starting on Thursday this week (and lasting for five days), the exam-week and reading the essays before May 28th, my daughter's (Lommy

) matriculation festivities, the renovation of the windows in our house (a block of flats), the teachers' band's rehearsals and performance in the end of the school-year, the end of the school-year festivities where I have a few roles in our school...

I will be able to post in the beginning of June the earliest I'm afraid. But then again, the summer is good time for me and I probably can be a lot more active than I can be during these last days of the spring-sememster.

littlemanpoet · 05-21-2009, 09:45 AM

That was a nice, deft way to get to the wedding ceremony itself, Foley.

Now that we're there, I'm finding this to be a difficult thing to write. How do you want to go about it? Do you wany anything goofy to happen in the middle of it? If so we'll need to write the whole thing out complete with dialogue. Otherwise one of us could just narrate it.

Here's an option I just thought of: we could do a Discussion thread - built post where one of us starts out the event and posts it to the discussion thread, and whoever wants can continue it in another post. Question is, why do it that way and not just post straight to the story thread? My only thought is that it would be great for anybody to put in a line at any point in the script without feeling like they have to write at least two paragraphs or ask permission.

Thoughts?

Folwren · 05-21-2009, 10:57 AM

Well, first and foremost, I'd like to know if there was any interesting response from Rowenna to Thornden's last comment.

With my last post, I was just trying to avoid a fight. I took it just as far as Groin had in his last post.

I like the idea of building a Discussion Thread post. It would be hilarious if something funny happened in the middle of the ceremony, but if we did it spontaneously rather than sitting here and planning it to death it would be better still.

Agreed. That way even I might stand a chance of putting something in between if there was a good chance for it. (Meaning: if I have a few moments to spare on the coming days I could just check the building of the narration and if coming up with nice ideas I could just drop a few lines in.)

I mean, Stigend isn't the obvious one to make a difference there, but the kids might intervene depending on how things turn out with them...

Folwren · 05-25-2009, 10:50 AM

I'm leaving this evening for staff training for summer camp. I will be back Friday afternoon sometime.

I am also working at camp the next two weeks, and two more weeks in the summer. On the weeks I am gone, I will be leaving on Sunday afternoons and coming back late Friday afternoon.

Just wanted to give ya'll a heads up.

If no one adds to the post by the time I leave, I will add a little bit for one of my characters.
