The Reunification of the Entish Bow - Discussion - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Estelyn Telcontar · 03-08-2005, 03:07 AM

Sneaky Mith has begun filling in his save without saying a word! So far, so great, Grey One - I look forward to more!

Now for some serious planning: It's been over two years since we began the adventures of the Entish Bow, Merisu et al. We finished the first part, the 'Revenge' (5 pages), within a little over three months!

Now we've been at the second part (6 pages so far) for over 1 1/2 years - double

! I'd like to get the story wrapped before this summer; as I will be away for much of June, that means we'd finish by the end of May. Please get your behind-the-scenes plotting coordinated now, let me know if there's any development or set-up that you need to have for your next post, and then let's get moving! As soon as Mith's post is completed I will write one to do just that.

An approximate timeline:

March - Preparations
April - The Big Battle, etc.
May - The Reunification and wrap-up

On your marks, set, - go!

What makes you think there is going to be any Reunification going on?

Because it's my story and if you don't play it my way, I'm taking my ball and going home!

Rats!

I was hoping no one would notice until I was done. Well, it's finished. This should get things rolling a bit.

Well, obviously my post is no longer needed to get things moving - Mith has already done that in his wonderful post!! Thanks - it was well worth waiting for! I chuckled over the reference to the Gongs, since I so recently researched to answer a question about them. Haulië as the Velour's handyman is hilarious, and Manuël's final word of power cracked me up!

I have put up a save and am writing a post with Merisu's reaction. After that, anyone is free to continue - I suspect there is already a good deal of behind-the-scenes plotting which has not yet been revealed to me...

Good post, Mith. Apparently I must further disseminate my largesse before bestowing actual accolades upon it.

As per behind the scenes planning, which is all fine and well, but some in front of scenes planning might not be remiss. In any case, I'll stake a place after Esty, and post in response to whatever genius she evokes. There may well be a joke involving reunification and Garibaldi biscuits, it remains to be seen.

If you want it, come and claim it, Rim! My post is finished and up, brief and to the point.

Shorter and more frequent posts could be effective when the action gets thicker, so that it's easier to interact with each other's characters.

Rimbaud · 03-09-2005, 08:23 AM

Faster than a speeding bullet, it is done!

Swiftly,

Excellent post, Rim. However, if you go back a few pages, I believe you will find that Orogarn did in fact retrieve his wallet from Skinflint the Ent. That happened right around the point where Chrysophylax fried the Zerl enclave.

The insufferable arrogance quotient of the tale is about to shoot up astronomically.
