I think I'll start a lemon farm. Because I heartily disagree with the sentiments expressed in said letter, but that's a topic for another thread, I think...

Anyway, I'll be back with a post sometime tomorrow evening or Friday (if that timing is okay - when were you planning to do the next jump, lmp?) in which Garstan expresses his concerns to Lin's brother. Hopefully that will settle this little twist so we can move on.

Wow. So much discussion from one post.

EDIT: And about that post, anything special anyone wants me to put in there to make sure we don't run into problems again?

Women lived under constraints in his time that they do no longer. Moving right along....

There's still (1) Stigend and Modtryn to take care of (2) Saeryn to discuss the court day with (3) Degas and Saeryn to have a fight in Eodwine's presence, all toDay yet.

THEN we move into the next Day. Might not happen until after this weekend, for all I know....

There are no problems with the post under discussion, Celuien and Jenny. The only problem it seemed to have was that Garstan seemed to be reacting to the situation less like a commoner and more like a fellow noble who had a stake in Linduial herself. That seeming problem has been answered to my satisfaction.

Okay. That should be plenty of time for the post.

Understood.

Nerindel - are you around still? If so, do you want to try and do something with Aedhel and Leof still toDay?

Nogrod · 06-29-2006, 01:54 AM

As Eodwine seems to have two discussions in front of him toDay and he has indicated that our family should follow him suit, I'll make a save to the thread for our discussion and try to come up with it today - tomorrow so that Eodwine may react to it once more and then have the discussion with Saeryn (and to wittness the fight).

That sounds okay?

EDIT

Nogrod - please check your PM's concerning SAVEs on the Mead Hall thread.

Nerindel has not been around for some time. I PM'd her over a month ago, which she responded to with a "do what you need to"; so her character has been moved to Meduseld until Nerindel returns to write with us again.

Celuien, when approaching Farahil, just remember that he doesn't share his thoughts. Generally at all.

Celuien · 06-29-2006, 03:36 PM

So noted.

The only thing Garstan will do is report. He's uncomfortable enough as it is to do anything else.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-29-2006, 03:40 PM

Poor dear... poor hall in general, come to think of it.

*sings* Lemon tree very pretty, and the fruit ...

Ah, that might be a reference too dated for you young 'uns.

Celuien, for this reader, there wasn't a 'problem' with that post, just an interesting aspect to consider here about all the loves and lives going on. Can't a reader ask questions or make comparisons? I thought there would be interesting response to dear Tolkien's letter, which lmp did his level best to gloss over. That "no sex" RPGing rule has to come from somewhere, eh?

*moving along*

Not for this young 'un.

Comparisons welcome. I did worry, however, that we'd slipped into anakronism after reading the comments on courtly love and seeing lmp's history lesson.

Actually, I find this an interesting discussion, possibly needing expansion on the Books forum or HI-ing of related topics.

Moving right along...
