Well, I've posted into my Save...

I'm not altogether sure I like what I've written, but I'm still foggy with too much sleep, and I'm rather afraid that I can write no better at the moment. A large part of the delay was a complete lack of ideas on HOW to execute this.

Anyway, I'm sure you good people will direct me on ways to improve it, should the improvement be needed.

I like it. And when at a loss, brief is better. I think you did well.

Er, does that mean I'm next?

What a hoot, Helen!

..... so long as it's only on the discussion thread that way. Copy and paste, indeed, Fea!

Bad girl. I think the gist of what would happen is just right.

Helen, that's hilarious, but I think the overall makes a good scene and logical as the story goes too.

Now, I have some bad news and I'll need some help. I've been using a laptop that is not my own since my pc was fried in an electrical surge. I had been told I could use it until I was able to replace my hard drive at the end of August/beginning of September. Well, my lovely friend who let me use it has asked for it back. So as of tomorrow morning, I will not have a home computer until the above time when I can get one of my own.

Not all is lost, because I can write posts at home and type them up at work. However, I need to be able to email my posts to someone to post, as I'm pretty sure the company is not going to want me posting on Tolkien forums during working hours.

I'll be able to check the thread, probably 2 or 3 times a week while I'm there as long as it doesn't appear extravagent. So...Is there anyone who trusts me with their email and would not mind posting for me?

I'm going to do my best to get what I need posted up tonight, but after that and until I get the new one, I'll need the help.

Thanks in advance.

Alak, check your pm's...

Looks like Mellondu is next, or at least soon. I need to get some sleep (great band practice tonight though) and plan on posting tomorrow, probably before noonish more or less. I hope.

Grace and peace. I'm off to serenade my pillow.

RL can be so doggone pushy at times. I'll shoot for tomorrow noon... I hope. In the meantime, y'all know the plot, so if you want to take a crack at (all or part) of the plan feel free..........

OK, the four (Father, Mellondu, Erebemlin, Taitheneb) are back at the citadel knocking at the door.

I tried adding a few lines to the beginning of the previous post in order to provide a bit better bridge to alak's last post. Haven't heard from alak yet.

Awfully quiet out there.
