I've edited mine slightly to make it clear it's already light.

By the way, Mnemo, you've got:

If this was, as I assume, a synonym for "donkey", it's on the censored words list.

Somehow, Branor and Therian seem to have travelled five years into the future now...

Lovely job, Fea!

Time paradox?

Mnemosyne · 03-20-2011, 09:46 AM

Nerwen, Pippin calls Merry one in RotK, and if we're not allowed to use words whose older, less offensive meanings have changed, then that throws out "queer" and "gay" in their original contexts as well--both of which were also used by JRRT in LotR itself. (So yes, I did intend "donkey." So did J.M. Barrie, no doubt.)

Thanks for the heads-up, and if a mod wants me to change it, I shall--but I was already thinking about it as I posted and decided to go with it since this particular word has a slightly different historical status from the others.

You can always put it in this way.

Any curse that appears in The Hobbit or RotK is fine with me - but apparently not with the Barrow-Downs programming. (Not even a mod can put in the original word as you can see because I tried to edit it in on your post.)

they've gone forward in years but backward in season, lurched up in autumn and woken in spring...

Yep, I've completely neglected all coherent timeline. Pay no attention to continuity.

... and they don't even have the excuse of having been in Lórien inbetween.

Fea, let me know if I need to change anything about your alter ego and Erchan in my post.
