Re: Myths Transformed, part of the Canon, yea or nay.

Lindil says let's leave canon aside for the moment and go for a Gondolin chapter. There are only a few ways MT would possibly impact that story at all so we can easily do both versions as , there will be only the most minor differences in the twain.

I propose leaving formal canon discussion to such time as there are more than say at least 12. I would hope that a few good chapters such as Gondolin. A new OF THE COMING OF MEN TO THE WEST [w/ Finrod and andreth from X and dwarves and men from XII] and 1 or 2 others[ perhaps a MT sun and moon and the hiding of Valinor a non MT would be enough for people to look at and then we could have a far less hypothetical debate.

But if I Had to give a straight yea or nay now I would say Nay.
I have procedded w/ plans and proposals because I got the distinct impression Saulotus while favoring MT was willing to work out side of the framework for awhile and see what came up and that you were highly sceptical to the point of a no vote. My apologies if I over read into the posts.

As another option we can look for chapters that require no decision on MT [such as Maeglin] for the time being.
But I want to reiterate that I formally think we should postpone bigger discussions such as canon till there are more of us and until through working on a few chapters we get a visceral sense of just how it will [ or could ] effect the Silm.
