I'm really excited about my chapter, but it's ages away... *impatient foot-tapping...*

Hey mithrand1r - you were a bit early, but thank you anyway for posting! Since it was a little early (I guess about 4 days) I'll leave Bombadillo's last chapter in this forum for now - in case anyone wishes to add to that discussion before we move it up to the discussion sub-forum.

...er... (apologies if this stupid question) are the chapters of LOTR still going? Where we up to? Im new to this site and got excited by the project until i realised it started (exactly - when i first noticed it a year ago??). Ho hum - can anyone tell me what the state of play is? - ps with regard to editions of LOTR, mine is a british unwin which is just plain red (hard back) as if it were the Redbook.Has the fold out map which is charming.

Butterbeer - welcome! 'The White Rider' discussion has just started. Feel free to just jump right in with the discussion in that chapter or any previous ones (all except the one prior are in the LOTR Discussion sub-forum). And you can see assignments in one of the first posts on this thread (some openings may still come up later - if you'd be interested).

Happy posting. I also invite you to introduce yourself in the 'Welcome Thread' in GM.

Sorry about that. I thought I was supposed to be up on the 15th.


Butterbeer,

If I understand the question correctly, We are currently in Book III, Chapter V The White Rider. (Although it seems that I jumped the gun. Maybe I am from Oklahoma )

thanks for that Mithrand1r and Valandil - by the way i notice you've just gone past 500 posts Mithrand1r - i just learnt from me9996 ("The Wizard" / working title?) that you have the option of chosing a title - so, at risk of being boring - i.e asking same question twice in 2 days -, whats it going to be?
..er.. also whats the reference to Olkhoma mean?
Will try and find white rider discussion,
thanks again

I have not thought about a title yet.

It is a reference to the nickname of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma
In 1889, the Indian Territory was opened to settlers. Thousands of people lined up on the border and, when the signal was given, they raced into the territory to claim their land. Some people went in early to claim their land. They became known as Sooners.
Hence, Oklahoma's nickname today is “The Sooner State”.

Aye, worse in the sense that it was my turn to post the start of the next two chapters discussion and I was late!

Chapters 'The King of the Golden Hall' and 'Helm's Deep' now posted.

Sorry again for the delay.

Just posting to state that although I don't post here regularly anymore, I'd still like to do my chapters.

Why not rejoin the Tolkien section, or at least the discussion project then?

Welcome back... sort of...

GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

Because of some understandably difficult issues, Bombadillo has been unable to complete his current assignment: "The Road to Isengard" and "Flotsam and Jetsam".

We're now soliciting for a volunteer to take those chapters. The job would entail writing up an introductory post summarizing each chapter, including whatever analysis you would like to make and creating some discussion questions.

It would be ideal to be able to have this completed within 7-10 days, but if it takes a little longer, that's alright.

Any takers...??

Sure. I know I've not been around of late and have MANY posts to catch up on, but if NO ONE else takes these, I will. I love both chapters. The semester is winding down, and it will probably be closer to 10-12 days before I could put them up.

Book IV, ch. 3&4: The Black Gate is Closed and Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit.

I guess they'll be due shortly?

Offer gratefully accepted! Thank you Forkbeard. 10-12 days would be wonderful - and if you need a few more, that's alright too.

I've just split your chapter and given it its own proper thread here. You can post the second bit there too.
