Is anybody planning anything, or should I go ahead?

you are welcome to write any episode that takes your fancy

still applies - go ahead! Much of what I wrote as a general guideline in this post is yet valid. The ship's journey is not planned, but is open to any kind of appropriate (or innappropriate, for that matter!) adventure. We will be structuring and coordinating the story more when we reach the shore of Valleyum.

That last post turned out to be a little longer than I'd intended. Once I'd gotten started it was hard to stop.

The real test, for those of you who are paying attention, is to correctly guess who will be in Merisuwyniel whenever it is they find her.

I'm kind of surprised we haven't done this gag sooner.

As I'm a sucker for nerdy questions like this ...

... I presume that it will be Grim Reeperneep.

Great post, Kuru! But, hey, you already know that.

Correct as usual!

I bet you did not even have to construct a flow chart to keep track of everything like I did.

What a fantabulous post, Kuru! You had me laughing over so many things - coughcoughprotrusionunderthebedcovercoughcough - what a shock for Merisu to be Kuru after her usual knockout appearance! The body switches are definitely a novel plot element that no one has thought to use until now, and your combination names are hilarious. Thanks for a highly amusing post!

Question: Are you planning to continue that story to bring it to an end, or would you like someone else to keep going?

Oh, I think it would be fun to see what the other minds in the project can make of this particular situation. (And I’d written myself into a corner

) (And it was alread seven pages in Word. If only I could as quickly crank out that much on the things I need to get done.

)

As a public service announcement, here is the complete list of the switches so the next person to post does not have to go through and pick them all out.

Merisuwyniel is Kuruharan=Kuru-suwyniel
Orogarn Two is Soregum=Orogum Two
Pimpi is Gateskeeper=Pimpi-keeper
Soregum is Reaperneep=Sore-neep
Neemoi is Leninia=Neeninia
Macaw is Pimpi=MacPimpi
Cirkdan is Orogarn Two=Cirk-garn Two
Vogonwë is Cirkdan=Cirk-onwë
Leninia is Halfemption=Half-Leninia
Gateskeeper is Grralph=Grrrateskeeper
Grralph is Neemoi=Grr-moi
Halfemption is Vogonwë=Vog-emption
Kuruharan is Macaw=Kuru-caw
Reaperneep is Merisuwyniel=?

I believe that is everyone.

Further variations on the names are highly encouraged because it makes it harder to tell who is who.
