Ok, so I went and fell off the face of the planet after promising to post. Sorry about that. Teaching has begun and I have no internet at home. I cannot possibly write a post at this point in time. I am not sure when I'll be able to. Internet comes on at home on Saturday, though!

OKAY, EVERYBODY, WHAT'S THE STICKING POINT? RL?

What needs to happen to get to the new day?

Folwren · 08-24-2015, 06:50 AM

Haha. When I first read your question I thought you were inserting 'sticking' for some expletive. I re-read it and saw that was not so.

Yes, sir. Well, mine is 2-fold. One reason is RL - mostly the fact that I had no internet at home at all last week.

The second is that I started 2 PM posts and haven't yet finished either one.

Honestly, I think most people are waiting for someone to start a post for the next day. I promised to do it, then never did, and I regret saying I could do it when it turns out I couldn't.

If you like I could post something that would at least start off a day a couple of days on if you will allow me to assume that Elfthain and Javan have struck up as much of a friendship as possible in the time and E realising to his surprise he is a little sorry that he is due to depart soon with convoy. Also to be written in the recognition that I may make rookie errors that the old Scarburgians will want corrected. Oh and do you want rain written in?

Folwren · 08-24-2015, 10:06 AM

I'm very happy with assuming that Javan and Elfthain struck up a friendship. Rain would make sense.

I will try to write a post today. Emphasis on 'try'.

'Sticking' go for it, Mithalwen!

Do that and I'll follow with something about either Eodwine or Rowenna.

Way to go, Mith! I say if you have some good idea, go for it. (Or anyone, really.) I've been away for a week, so there was no chance to post whatsoever. And Mith, I would not worry about getting the "facts" right or anything. In the worst case, everything can be corrected later, but I think all of us here are sensible and experienced writers and that the main point of posts is that they are sensible, and that I am sure we need not worry about. Minor technicalities are just minor technicalities.
