Tapestry of Dreams, Part 2 Discussion - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Let's generate a plot outline. That may help to guide us in knowing who should be posting and when. What needs to be happening? What can happen?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 10-22-2006, 03:24 PM

Since you guys have already foreshadowed Indil's appearance, my self-imposed limitation is to wait until Bergil finds her before expanding or introducing her more.

Which means, as I said, I'm just lurking for now.

Celuien · 10-22-2006, 03:29 PM

I thought that it didn't make a lot of sense for Saethyrd to appear until all of the ladies were on their way to the White Mountains. My idea was that there would be more drama if they were already in the mountains and then - uhoh - it comes out that Saethyrd is lurking nearby. So I'm lurking too for the present.

Formendacil · 10-22-2006, 04:20 PM

*nods*

I'm here... waiting... a bit apathetically, and with no great desire to rush on, but ready when the time comes.

Those ladies have to be all gone from Minas Tirith, before Bergil can come in. Like Fea and Celuien, my hands are tied.

littlemanpoet · 11-15-2006, 03:49 PM

I have filled in my save. Tharonwe has escaped.

mark12_30 · 11-27-2006, 07:25 PM

Anyone seen Alak?

littlemanpoet · 11-27-2006, 09:36 PM

No. Heck, I've never even seen you. Well, a picture maybe but that doesn't count.

Sorry, weird mood.

Hey, anybody gonna write some? I want to do more with this story! C'mon peeeeplllle!

Formy! Nudge Nudge Nudge!!!!!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-07-2006, 07:23 PM

So I meant to fill my save Tuesday morning, but I got distracted, and then I had to deal with yesterday, and that was just an ordeal, and today... we just shouldn't even get into today.

Basically, I have one more day of classes and then four papers to write, and then two finals, and the biggest interview of my current life is on Monday, and...

If any of you see me writing, you should kick me hard and ask why I'm not curled up in a ball somewhere finishing my semester.

I'll fill it as soon as I can.

Imladris · 10-22-2006, 07:34 PM

I have not posted the second dream meeting with Gwyllion because it hasn't felt right. Since she didn't know Bella that well, I thought that it would be better to write it when a lady who she was better aquainted with (Mellonin) disappeared as it were.

Hence, I'm also lurking.

littlemanpoet · 10-23-2006, 10:21 AM

This is helpful information so we know who needs to post: namely, the writers for Leafa, Bellyn, and Mellonin.

Nuru? Aelwyn? Helen?

Can you help us move the rpg along?

Aylwen Dreamsong · 10-23-2006, 03:24 PM

Uhm...I was the last person to post...

Leafa and Mellonin are supposed to follow Bellyn, but I don't know where Helen and Nuru went off to.

littlemanpoet · 10-23-2006, 06:27 PM

Okay, here's my proposal, which has three parts:

1. Make an effort to PM and otherwise contact Nuru and Helen through means that we have outside of BD to request their participation.

2. Determine what is the most likely course of action for Nuru and Helen, and based on this consensus, move forward with the thread.

3. Plan on Helen and Nuru writing catch-up posts to fill in the plot over which we have passed in order to keep things going.

So by way of summary, the time that it takes for us to reach a consensus as to what Nuru and Helen are likely to write regarding Leafa and Mellonin respectively, is the time we are giving them to post themselves, and if they don't post by the time we have reached a consensus, then we move forward and ask them to fill in later.

All in favor, put forward your idea of what you think Leafa and Mellonin are most likely to do.

All not in favor, please say so.

Or tell me to be quiet and wait.

Celuien · 10-23-2006, 06:32 PM

I vote PM. According to the members list, Helen and Nuru have been logged in within the past two days, so they can't be too far away.
