Why is Of the Enemies in the Valaquenta only semi-finished? Also why is the Athrabeth semi-finished? Arvegil, you, and me all reached a consensus on the draft, is that not enough to reach the Finished state?

. Of the Enemies: Okay, the discussion is finished so I will corret it. When I started the update we were still discussing the additions found during our work on chapter one.

Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth: Reading the last posting in that threads does not feel conclusivly finished. But since you utter here that your are happy with the results that means the discussion is done I will change it in Posting above.

While we await Aiwendil's comments on our further drafts, Fin, should we try to tackle Of the Darkening of Valinor? you and I never really discussed my edits I proposed, and it remains the last chapter we have not really discussed. I am fairly confident that 4 of the 6 sections will pose little problem, with the main difficulties lying in Of Finwe and Miriel and Of the Darkening of Valinor. The other sections are very straightforward changes and additions.

ArcusCalion, I appriate your enthusiasem, but I do not like the idea of splited forces much. In my point of view it does not archive any accelaration of the work to be done. On the contary, In my expirence it was ever the most time consumimg part to integrate another oppinion once a working group had established a consens on a smaller basis.

If you burn with the desire to see what will be the outcome of DoV, I would suggest that we all start to discuss that chapter first. If Aiwendil agree to that I have not problem doing so. Otherwise your nice additions have to wait their time until we come in the group work to that chapter.

Respectfully
Findegil

P.S.: At the time when it was not clear if Aiwendil would rejoin the project at all, I think it was okay for ArcusCalion and me push the project forward, but that Aiwendil is back and working with us, it would be a rude to send him checking some of our drafts, wilhe we do the nice work draft development without him.

ArcusCalion · 11-28-2017, 01:48 PM

Hmmmm I had not thought of it that way. My apologies. We could do DoV next if Aiwendil wants, but if not that is fine as well.

Aiwendil · 12-02-2017, 09:12 PM

Hi, guys. I just wanted to drop by and apologize for my absence. I'm still grappling with this illness, and just don't have the mental power for the project right now. After getting some antibiotics, I do seem to be slowly improving, but it may still be a week or two before I can get back into things.

ArcusCalion · 12-03-2017, 02:39 AM

I'm so sorry to hear that Aiwendil, don't worry about us. Focus on getting better!
