Well, I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately. But with Christmas break approaching, I thought it might be a good time to try and pick up the thread of things here again.

I guess where we left off was reviewing the changes to some of the already finished chapters, and I gather that we were on Beren and Luthien. This week, I will take a look and remind myself where things stand there.

I think I've seen Findegil posting in other corners of the forum fairly recently. Is anyone else still around?

Are you guys still working on this? It's been a while since anyone has posted in the public forums. I honestly don't think I'd have time to write anything myself, but I'd love to review anything you guys have and provide suggestions. I love the idea of re-creating Bilbo's Translations as 3 volumes using the most up-to-date and consistent material we have from HoME and UT and the Sil.

Hi G85

Yes, this can be the quietist barrow of them all sometimes. But the work done over the 12 plus yeears, egads! well the work aiwendil and I and a few others started way back has gone on and I would love to join you in a top to bottowm review.

i think I am ready to do my end which was turn the rough footnote-ridden edits back into readable prose - with the hopeful help of some fellow editors.

But a thorough review is a great idea.

welcome to the weightiest, most ponderous and obscure corner of the downs!
