SpM: In re-reading (several times!) the manuscript, I think we were all guilty at times of giving new parody names to items/people/places which had been named already in earlier posts. I thought long and hard about trying to reconcile these names, but eventually took Esty's sage advice:
Quote:
REB has no continuity...REB needs no continuity.
That being said, I will accept any corrections or updates that we-the-authors deem necessary or even just desireable. When sending along proposed changes, be sure to indicate the page number to help me find and make the changes. I am maintaining a copy of the original (sent out) and a master-update copy, so I can reference original page numbers.

Also, if you haven't already contributed your entry to the Bio section in the foreword (Thanks, Kuruharan!) please do so when you can.

Thanks all!

Guilty - I will send you that info ASAP, Thena. I haven't been able to proofread yet in these hasty days, but I will do my best soon. And yes, not all parody names need to be unified - the changes were part of the fun!

I have a question to all authors:

A German friend who has read some of REB asked me to do a reading in connection with her lecture on Mary Sue fan fiction at the annual meeting of the German Tolkien society this summer. She thinks it's hilarious and would be an amusing way to illustrate her points. Any objections? It's not public and not commercial.

Speak soon, or forever hold your peace.

I have no objections, and would love to hear about it afterwards!

EDIT: I am reminded of discovering one of my own renaming faux-pas -- I found that Diamond had named "the swinging city of Gondola", where I had mentioned that one of Gateskeeper's Loyer-associates was present at the "fall of Mandolin".

Can't we keep both, Thena? I find both too good to delete! Besides, Tolkien had a multitude of names for characters and sometimes places, so why can't we?!

I don't have any particular objections, although I'm curious about what selections she'd make.

I also advise against reading this at work. It’s been years since I really read it and so it is sort of fresh for me again.

Many bouts of poorly suppressed laughter don't endear one to one's co-workers...

But of course. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, and none of us is small-minded.

Pipe How long has it been?
Sorry, ladles and jellyspoons; the last few weeks have been ridiculously busy and I've not been up to doing any writing. On top of various other problems, I've managed to delete the entire contents of my computer's hard drive, including all of my connection details, and I've not yet got round to setting it all back up again. I am still checking my PMs, though.

Expect some sort of contribution in the near future.

Edit: I have not forgotten you, comrades. A post is in progress, and should be complete this weekend.
