Tolkien calls it, and reckless, and gets himself killed

This seems like it could add some interesting things to the plot.

We shall have to see what Nuru thinks.

Fea, this is getting interesting and fun again.

Reminds me of Prisoner of Numenor. I find your set ups challenging in a very, very good way. Huzzah!

*blush*

I miss Prisoner. I had fun with that, except for some brief trauma killing Kath off.

But that was the best part.

Never said it wasn't. But it was still traumatic: I'd never killed a character before.

You know, I'm getting nostalgic about old games now... Island of Sorrow, ATM, Prisoner of Numenor... I kind of want to go reread them. I know there was some great writing in all of them...

Just so long as you keep writing in the current rpg's, pretty please....

I'm working on that... Some are easier than others.

littlemanpoet · 06-20-2007, 03:57 AM

Nicely and sweetly done, Immy. That should pierce through Raefindan's density. In fact, he'll even say so.

I hope to get a chance today.

And also to get Jorje back in touch with Rugh. Firefoot? You there still?

littlemanpoet · 06-24-2007, 06:45 AM

How embarrassing. I owe a post here and forgot that I did. I'll do it today; partly Raefindan finally getting it, and partly Jorje to set things up for Firefoot writing Rugh.

littlemanpoet · 07-24-2007, 08:18 PM

Well, Fea, I know that Celuien is busy beyond hope, which puts a major kink in her writing here; Firefoot seems to be occupied elsewhere by and large; Nuru has expressed renewed interest lately but sporadically. I don't know what's become of Formy. Immy is generally within reach and will post when "the fit takes her" or when prodded, according to my experience. And you have spoken of your own difficulties getting here. None of the other writers are active, period.

What I WANT is for this to gain momentum and turn into something powerful interesting and engrossing.

I don't see that happening. In fact, I don't see anything better than this continuing to crawl, at least not until the school year.

So I'm WILLING to just let it sit until others show interest in the only way that really counts, by posting to the story thread. Carrying it by myself just isn't appealing.

Nuru, during your absence we had a discussion regarding Leafa and other characters, starting with th is post: http://www.forums.barrowdowns.com./s...&postcount=354

As you can see, Leafa's possible demise came up as a viable option. Your thoughts?

Nurumaiel · 07-03-2007, 10:38 PM

lmp, yes, I saw the posts concerning Leafa. Her death is a potential option, but I want to see if anyone is willing to take her on or not.

And even if there's no one willing, I still have to figure out if it would be right or not. Both in books and movies of late I've been coming across deaths that were put in the story merely for a tragedy, but weren't right in any way. They weren't simply sad... they also came across as being all wrong. And not wrong in the sense that any violent death is, but wrong story-wise, if that is at all clear.

So... I'm still pondering. And of course I still would have to get over being sentimental about her, too.

littlemanpoet · 07-04-2007, 09:49 AM

Yes, Nuru, and I'd like to get rid of Ædegard. Why? Well, he's just not that interesting to me. Falling in love with Leafa helped a little bit, but I just don't find him very interesting. Maybe I would have more a few years ago; fact is, I created him as a fun and games character for a winter snowball fight in Edoras a few years ago and never meant him for more than that, but he got swooshed into this tale. I'd much rather spend my time on Raefindan and Jorje. So I'm not really keen on taking on Leafa at all. One of these times, Ædegard is going to bite the dust. And that would actually fit very well into that song of the lover's ghost coming back to the lover, but only if there's someone who cares about those two characters enough. Otherwise, I can't see much point in them even being part of the adventure anymore. Let them go to Leafa's papa, get approval to get married, and go be wainwright and wife in Edoras. That's my humble opinion.
