May you have a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you. Farewell LMP!

It's kind of an anti-climax it should happen this way... and I feel guilty on my part for not been too enthusiastic to write of late. Yeah, the normal story: so much RL stuff, no grand role to work the story forwards etc.

You should have had a grand exit anyway.

Now it was more like how T.S. Eliot says in the Hollow Men that the world ends "not with a bang, but with a whimper".

We should have had the Bang we were kind of building up already!


But we who are left should also consider what to do next? As a co-mod for this I feel I should take some initiative here. So let's discuss also that. lmp's ending is kind of wrapping it up -stuff so we could start from anywhere if we want to do it.

So what say you?

So it appears that the great littlemanpoet has finally taken his leave. Good luck with whatever you do, and I know I speak for all of us when I say that we'll miss you!

I want intrigue! And battles! And dark secrets!

Fare well, LMP! Hope to see you back some day, and thanks for everything. And I mean that.

It's sad to see him go, and to go this way... but like Nogrod, I'm afraid to have the typical excuses. *sigh*

So, this Mead Hall is now going to be owned by Nogrod, and I'm going to be the co-owner. We have some plans as for how to continue, but we have to negotiate about stuff. It is likely there will be all kinds of nasty stuff... probably all of what Gwath wants.

I hope we can introduce something rather mind-blowing to the scene within a few weeks (RL time). Meanwhile, feel free to post about the feast night, or the following day. There may be or may not be a time jump after that, but something's going to happen for sure.

Goood, goood. I myself plan to explore Crabannan's questionable past some more.

Sounds interesting.

We are (or were, ages ago ) planning to recruit some new blood to join our ranks. I hope that's going to work.

-------------------

Any writers not in The Scarburg Meadhall who happen to see this, feel free to PM me or Nogrod, because we can offer you an intriguing role here. I think the only prerequirement is that you have posted on the Golden Perch Inn.


-------------------

Of course, if some old writer wants a new character and thinks s/he can handle both or wants to get rid of the old one (which could be a pity), just tell us and we can tell you what kind of new characters we'd like to have.

I'm going to miss Elempi cruelly. I guess it couldn't be avoided forever....

-------

I don't want to get rid of Thornden, but I'd like to bring him back to the foreground in my writing. I'm certainly not going to take on yet another character, though I'd love to be part of some trouble or intrigue. See if you can figure me and any of my characters in somehow or other.

I'd be at least interested in hearing what you have in mind, as my other character over in Tears of Mirrormere will be dying soon, maybe I need another character.
