Athrabeth na Dorthonion

I've posted as Rameldir over at Entmoot. Smile

And Rameldir's confusion is my own - I ought to have remembered enough of what I've read not to have made his mistake. I was mixing events too.

I used my annotated version of Herendil's timeline again to see what's what - some day, when I've got nothing better to do, I should check it against all the Annals of wherever and Tales of years to mark what is canon and what is conjecture. There I found that Rameldir had not yet come of age when he had to move to Balar with Gil-galad.

And Aika, there's a PM waiting for you at MT ... Wink

And Elrond has responded. Wink

He's being taciturn and a bit unfriendly, sorry, but you're putting him in a bad mood with all these memories. Confused

Rameldir thinks that he has addressed the main issue now. He's not aware yet that his appended remark is the comment to the real issue.

Elrond replied, too. Wink

He's heading for an emotional trainwreck. Wink

I love it!

I tweaked a little bit on the Fan Fiction and RPs site, listing the ongoing RP's from the different sites that we're participating in. If there are others, let me know.[/url]

I think that should only be those where an Athrabeth member is the threadmaster and wants it to be included. Then your Unrest in the Riddermark is missing - I've only got RtR as my own. You could ask Braeden whether she wants any of hers included.

If we include all others we participate in, then we might be widening the scope too much.

Or maybe not?

That's kind of the way I was going, whether I said it or not. Wink

But yes, I think you've got a good idea. I have N4, and then Not For Arda, Son of the Evening Star, and Shadows of Regret

...

and soon the new one that Aikanáro have been discussing on AIM that is vaguely related to N4...

Yes, I did notice that you were already following my suggested rule Wink

A new one? Here, then?

And Inc' has replied on MT ...

I saw that...

Does someone want to grab him and pull him over here? I don't think anyone ever told him that we were moving the RP's over here.

And yes, another one. It's related to N4, but kind of separate as well - we're following Finamátirë in Valinor after the the Flight of the Noldor, so most of the characters in N4 won't be necessary for this (we'll need Ama, Ara, Indis, Earwen, Anairë, and that's about all). People don't necessarily have to keep their characters - if they don't want to participate they don't have to. But neither Aika nor I had ever seen a RP taking place in Valinor during this time. Smile

In Valinor? With them receiving text messages (sorry, Osanwe messages) all the time to keep them up-to-date? Wink

Sorry about the joking, but I've always felt that Osanwe - when used only to transfer words, which is just scratching on the surface of what it really is for - reminds me a lot of mobile phones Laughing

I might leave Indis up for grabs for that one. I shouldn't join every RP we're doing ... there are other things that need doing as well. I should be more selective - although I thought I were ...

And Elfine has reviewed my Blood and Fire fan fic! Very Happy

I should work further on Nolo's next diary entry - and his reply to Kuru ...

Yes, I agree with you on the Ósanwe thing, which is why I want to talk to Eluchil when he gets back from Columbia and work out exactly how these things are going to happen between Ama and Finrod. Smile

Oh, and BTW, I just posted the first chapter of All Fair Things on our fanfiction site. Complete with a pretty logo that I made on my new graphics program. Smile

Really pretty logo!

If I send you Blood and Fire, will you want it as html right away?
And would you prefer to wait for both chapters to be done? It might take some weeks Embarassed

Actually, just send it to me as the text - I'll do the HTML formatting myself. Smile

I'll start working on making you a logo as well. Smile

And send me what you've got - I don't mind updating.

BTW - my 'http://www.dorthonion.net/nargothrond' is showing up on Google now. Strange that it's only that part, but it's a step in the right direction!

Ooh, I quite like this Logo. Let me know what you think. Wink

Ooh, shiny! Smile

Yay for appearing on Google! The Tolkien books page is showing up now, too.

And I very much like the interaction between Rameldir and Elrond!

*will reply to PMs elsewhere shortly, is catching up on a lot this morning* Smile
