I'll get my post up as soon as I have a spare moment. Not had many of those lately....

That's a looooong time not to have a spare moment.

It's been more than a week since someone posted. If someone doesn't post by the next time (at least a day) I have a chance to check, I'm going to do a summarizing post for the wedding, chase, dance, supper, riddles, and Day, all in one fell swoop. You have been warned.

I'm finishing up my term paper tonight and then I get my Latin final test finished on Friday. After that I am all yours!

I will get a post up for Erbrand, possibly tonight.

It looks like Foley has just been delayed, nothing criminal in that, I should think.

And everybody else seems to be waiting for her.

As for my characters - it would be pointless to continue from where I left Modtryth before something happens, and I don't think there's anything in Cnebba's story that needs to be written, in fact, I think it's better as it is before Harreld talks with his parents.

That's a bit hard way to handle this even if I can both understand and share your disapproval of the slow pace this thread has taken of late.

But it's after all a question of waiting for one post while we others have little to say that would make any sense or further the general plot.

Sure we could start building up new things and plotlines but those would then hinder the progress as we should have to wait for them to unfold before we can advance with this after Foley's post is in.

Oh and sorry, no pressure Foley!

But really, we're just in a sticky situation where Foley seemingly has a lot to do and unfortunately we need to wait for her to post before advancing.

Or could we use a "save" there and fill it afterwards and then get going with the storyline as planned.

The problem with at least me and Lommy is that our characters are such minor players in the story that they will not be naturally triggering new things - at least in a situation where everyone is waiting for certain things to happen. Were the future open to anything we might come up with we could bring in however silly ideas or new twists to disrupt the smooth going of things but now I'm afraid is not the time for it as we all wish to make this party together.

EDIT: (werewolf-style instinct) X'posted with Lommy... and agreed!

Come now. You make it sound like an accident that your characters are not being put forward by their writers because "there's nothing to write at this point". Gobtwiddle I say! If you wanted to, you could come up with something.

But you all really do take me a bit too seriously sometimes....

I sort of never really intended to fulflil my threat. Actually, I would have written the post and then retracted it .... just for the fun of it. I was actually angling for a reaction, just to spark things up. You may all smooth your ruffled feathers now.....

To quote my favorite professor:

"I'm sorry! Love me?"

No, really, I haven't had a spare moment. I mean, no, I have. *scratches head* Just not a spare moment while on the computer. Even now I haven't a spare moment. I have to go to bed now.

The pressure is on, I know, even if you all didn't mean it. Tell you what, I promise to get up a post this Sunday, AT THE LATEST! I will strive hard to get one up sooner. Next time I'm tempted to watch a Hogan's Heros I will post something on the Meadhall thread first.

Bye!
