I don't think I could improve on...

Perhaps the pseudo-Ring is a kind of homing device to it? Like one of those things that locate your lost car-keys...

My mother had one of those. Everything used to set it off - clinking against the dashboard, my aunt's voice (albeit she works on a frequency largely audible to bats). It was horrific and drove us insane. As a result an "all keys will be hung on the hooks on the hall" policy was introduced. Yes it would be a gift to burglars but you don't get everything.

Actually with so many daughters of Elrond, I think my character will be more of a Hermione Granger type. Mousy but irritatingly clever. Her get out of being Mary Sue card will be that the famous relative is Erestor....

Well, yes, it should be like a mood ring, glowing brighter in proximity to the Silmarkenstone. *snickers* Perhaps it should actually be a mood ring, and the Silmarkenstone a pet rock, and everyone has been hoodwinked by an unscrupulous swindler (the same guy who wove the emperor's new clothes).

Never mind, just thinking out loud.

Sounds great, Mith. I would like to see everyone with a highly individualized character. I mean, after all, we don't want to fall into stereotypes.

It seems to me you have collected more than enough fodder here to create a rival for 'The Downer'...something like 'The Middle-earth Inquirer'.

Naw, we don't wish to compete with poor Hookbill. A rival paper may just push him over the edge.

*Considers a moment*

Hmmm...he's already over the edge, so I guess a rival paper would push him back up the cliff....a retrocide, as it were.

Anyway, I will be posting an admin thread for our story later this eve (after work), so we can continue any discussion there.

I've started a discussion thread in the Mirth Section, found here:

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthr...950#post566950

I don't really want to start on the story until this weekend, preferring to get some more ideas before we start.

So please, add your story comments over on that thread, unless of course you want to continue with the drinking game here (then by all means, continue with this thread).

Oh, and the actual story is here:

http://forum.barrowdowns.com//showthread.php?t=15053

(Make sure to bring along antacids, pain-relievers, or your favorite alcoholic beverage)
