* An unofficial New Silmarillion Outline *

[Arvegil145]

I was thinking for a while about the Second Age, pondering what would the chapter structure look like, and I while post a rather rough outline soon.

In the mean while (since I plan to put the Elder Days on hiatus - not for long, mind you), I would like to start a discussion on "The New Shadow" and "Tal-Elmar" - merely for a discussion on whether to keep them.

Since this part of the Downs is rather quiet (undeservedly), I would like to wake it from its long slumber.

One thing that is particularly amusing is the fact that Christopher Tolkien finished the HOME in less than 15 years, and this project goes on, and on, and on since 2000.

And I mean no offense! Better to do it slowly and thoroughly than to mess up the entire work.
