*peeks in, looking slightly ashamed*

Me here. My life has been terribly busy for the start of the semester, so I haven't managed to be here almost at all.

Today I decided to spend my few free hours by checking the 'downs so I'm here, but unless I study extra quickly in the evening, don't expect me to post in a week though. (I have an essay due Monday, an exam due Tuesday and a presentation due Wednesday. SICK, I think, especially considering I'm spending the weekend in a training.)

But after Wednesday next week there should be no more deadlines for a while and my second half of the spring semester should be easier as I will have one less course which will basically mean for example no school on Mondays. Then I should be able to catch up with writing properly - weren't you missing Wulfric and Wilheard?

So, looking forward to the latter part of next week! Great that you all have been keeping this thread going, there have been some excellent posts (but sadly I have been unable to rep).

See you guys soon, and that time I shall stick around.

Hey there.

My life hasn't exactly slowed down, but I've forced it into reasonably organized submission. Which means time for some play.

My only problem is, it's been so long I've forgotten what my characters are doing!

Folwren · 03-10-2010, 06:00 PM

um....Degas is ..... um... Geez...I forget. Oh, I think he was pretty happy with how Athanar handle the court cases, but I don't think we've figured out what's happened since. Is he pleased with Athanar's proposal to Saeryn? Is he worried for her safety? Etc.

Rowenna...I don't think Degas has asked Rowenna to stay yet.

I can't recall any more particulars about your characters. so sorry.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-11-2010, 02:05 PM

Thanks, Foley! Now I remember.

Degas has asked Rowenna to stay, but she hasn't given an answer. He's planning on leaving in a day or two to check on matters at home, and to frolic southernly with the wife-to-be's kin (and hopefully bring what's his yap home).

And I *think* that was all I had going on.

Let me think on how I want to proceed, and then I'll post something, even if it's something small.

We didn't reach any conclusion on Erbarnd and Lithor leaving, right?

The current confusion is kind of making it difficult for me to write. So what would you people think if I took Groin's parting post and checked it, and tried to make it make a bit more sense (correct Scyrr's name and maybe edit his actions a bit - and the women's, because I don't think Groin was portraying Ginna and Frodides fairly or coherently) but sort of respectfully to his original idea and keeping his characters' thoughts and dialogues and then posted the edited post on this thread so that Pio could replace Groin's original post with my slightly edited version and we could continue writing?

I'm all for Scyrr and Erbrand having a fight, and even the women thinking Scyrr is dead and Erbrand being scared by that... All kinds of suggestions are welcome from you other writers but I would prefer start working on it soon, so if I post something and you think it could be made better, just tell me and I will do further editing.

I will also try to contact Kath and get her revise Erbrand and Kara's parting scene because (with all respect to Groin) I have the feeling she might not approve thoroughly...

Once I'm done with editing, I will write for my characters, and I have the feeling I want Wulfric and Wilheard to be the ones to spot wounded Scyrr first....

Nogrod · 03-19-2010, 02:52 PM

I do think that time has kind of settled Groin's post in it's basics - and that we should honour his wish to leave that way with his characters. But I do agree that what comes to other characters he has written there, some editing would be in order - especially hearing what Kath thinks.

Good to hear you're going for it Lommy.

What comes to lord Athanar he must have been seeing the craftsmen after discussing with Nerindel's characters in the morning.

But feel free to disturb him whenever you wish.

Also, now as the soldiers have come back from the drilling it could be lunch-/dinnertime if anyone of you thought it would be easier to go on discussing with others over a meal.

Or if you have other ideas...

Anything you'd wish to be said and/or done to help you out?

Mnemosyne · 03-19-2010, 07:10 PM

Wynflaed will want to discuss the domestic situation with Saeryn and whoever else she wants to bring in... and also possibly be a bit racist.

Really if people could let me know anything that would need to come to her attention and/or elicit a reaction that'd be helpful. But I still haven't been able to see a way to let her back into the action, and I haven't really had the time to look that deeply.
