I have done some thinking , and looking at maps.... another possibility for the wood being a dread place would be if it were near enough the paths of the dead to be regarded to be haunted.

There are a couple of villages mentioned in Harrowdale between Dunharrow and Edoras, since "our village " is agricultural and near Edoras it might be / be near "Upbourn" where Harrowdale widens out rather than " Underharrow" in the narrower part of the valley. The Journeys of Frodo shows a sizeable wood across the Snowbourn from Underharrow. Situated under the shadow of the haunted mountain (Dwimorberg) and only a couple of miles from the door to the Paths of the Dead ..it might reasonably be the source of childhood terror for children in the area, and it would be palusibel for Uncle Sam to have property near the next village. And goodness know what we might find within.

If this is acceptable and doesn't contradict your plans Crystal, then I can use some of this for Hama in my next post...

In the mean time .. I will do something for Elfride .... who will have her work cut out as a Chaperone methinks

Don't worry I happened to have maps of the area on me!!!! Relics of an aborted project tucked in the project of the notebook I also use for Werewolf. I really should get a life shouldn't I ? OK well I will have Hama arrive hot on the heals of the second dose of Love's young dream ... what on earth are they putting in the beer/ mead at the White Horse?

Actually it is just nice that it isn't going to waste. And it will give me a suitably grown up and leaderly thing for Hama to say which won't compromise the finer points of the char...splendid ...I was afraid I was going to get writers block with the responsibility. ....... so excellent. Hopefully tomorrow ....

and LOL seriously I am so not cool ...... but thank you

*mutters quietly* she'll neve find me here. *sniggers* Oh cripes she found me!! I mean...yay!! You found me!!

Mith, congrats on the random award.

Crystal, thank you for the rep!

Everybody else, STAY HIDDEN!! I mean...come out, come out wherever you are my pretties!

Anyway, just letting everyone know that my final exams are coming up starting next week and into the final week of June so most of my time will be spent studying. I'll try and get on to post at least something...

A note to everybody, please remind me to remind myself to write a note to self about leaving my sig attached to my post in the RPG. I suffer from short term memory loss you see, so....

Quote:
Well that does sound kind of interesting. Does everyone want to encounter that kind of thing in the wood?
It'd be interesting. Definetly worth keeping in mind.

As for the Lovers thing going on, I think it adds more depth to the story so I say...KEEP IT UP!!

That is all...for now!!

Crystal has apparently cured her short-term deppression in a BIG way...

Mith, don't worry, this is a Tolkein forum, I would believe 95% of people are very uncool, or I am just in denial!

Will post soonish.

Aren't the Huorns kind of mysterious and cool, what with the darkness and the menace and the tree-branches strangely falling on top of people and the moving around and them appearing even near the Shire and the disappearance of the Entwives and the ... *breaks off into senseless mutters*?

I thought they were kind of everywhere around that area, and we could just blame it on spirits and Dead guys...

Bye!
