Unfinished Tales Discussion Project

Gordis · 09-20-2009, 03:41 AM

I can take The Hunt for the Ring, I have already written a lot about it, made the time-shemes etc.

It would be great if Alcuin took the Palantiri chapter - he is an expert on the subject.

Voronwen with her love for Numenor could make a great job of the description of the island etc.

Yet those chapters are not exactly at the beginning. At the beginning there are those boring First age stories...

Any takers?

I am in for both Unfinished Tales and the Hobbit. Definitely the Hobbit though!!!

Really can't wait... When do we begin?

Can anyone link me to a similar discussion so i can see what would need to be done?

Check out the subforum in the Silmarillion forum, as well as the one in the LotR forum.

Thank you, Jonathan.

Sure you could.

But don't worry, Numenor chapters are in the middle of the list. You will have plenty of time to think on it.

So we are decided then? First UT and then later The Hobbit to be finished before the movie release?

I suppose some takers may be found if we start deviding the chapters in earnest. I can handle some of the last orphaned chapters if no takers come forward.

I've had a quick look, not all chapters are equal in length, such as the Narn, we might better cut that one in two for the discussion.

Well, i've never done anything remotely like this before and at first i was a little apprehensive at the thought, but think i'd feel bad if i didn't do this

Thank you for the opportunity. I believe my love and reverence for the subject matter will get me through.
