She's only borrowing him for a while.

Why don't you join the chapter discussion, RÃ*an? We've got still many chapters to chose from.

EDIT: Note: we won't start with the discussion until at least the two remaining chapters from Part I have been filled.

***RÃan*** · 10-06-2009, 05:48 PM

I'm pretty iffy in the next few months, what with another surgery coming up 'n all ... and I don't like Turin very much. Maybe I can jump in later...

***Earniel*** · 10-06-2009, 07:21 PM

Yeah, TÃºrin's not my favourite character either (although if no one takes the chapter I may very well have to do it for the sake of the discussion project, something I will try to avoid nevertheless.

).

But there are still other interesting chapters later in the project. If TÃºrin isn't your cup of tea, one of those might interest you? Why don't you have a look, I've listed them all in the first post. And you've got plenty of time to prepare for the later chapters.

***Valandil*** · 10-07-2009, 11:46 AM

Where are all those Turin fangirls now? Can't hack a little writing assignment for your man??

***Earniel*** · 10-21-2009, 08:16 AM

Yes, interest is rather low at this moment. Does anyone have any bright ideas to get some more people interested and involved?

Voronwen · 11-25-2009, 04:49 PM

Have the original deadline dates now been changed? Has everything been moved back due to lack of interest?

***Earniel*** · 11-25-2009, 07:12 PM

Well, the deadlines were never official in the first place, just to give everyone an idea of how long this project could run. I was going to wait until the end of the month, until everyone was off NaNoWriMo and such to make an announcement to allow people to take double (and triple) chapters since it has become obvious by now people aren't fighting to get a chapter introduction

and we'll have chapters to spare.

I would really be grateful if someone could take those darned Turin-chapters of my hands though.

Then we could at least get the show on the road. I'm willing to jump in for all other chapters and pick up the slack a bit myself, but just not them.

Voronwen · 11-25-2009, 09:14 PM

I would be happy to take another of the Numenorean chapters if no one else steps up. Let me know if you need me.

I propose to skip the Turin-chapters and start with the Second Age.

We can study all the Turiniana later - both UT and "The Children of Hurin". What do you think?

As for "TUOR AND HIS COMING TO GONDOLIN" I am not sure - any takers?

***Earniel*** · 11-27-2009, 07:05 AM

As tempting as it is to skip TÃºrin, there seems to be little point in doing a chapter discussion when we will skipping a good deal of them. I guess I'll just have to bite through the sour apple myself at some point if I want to see them all done.

Although there is definitely something to be said for leaving TÃºrin to The Children of HÃºrin discussion. We'll need some input from Coffeehouse on this, since he already has chosen one of the TÃºrin chapters.

As for the Tuor chapter, that one has already been picked up by VarnafindÃ«, and I for one would definitely like to see it discussed. The material is not found elsewhere to this degree.

Coffeehouse · 11-30-2009, 04:45 PM

If the majority wants to skip forward I'll be happy to do so but I'd like to get a slot in another chapter then if that's alright.

I can also say that I won't be able to actually contribute here until early January, though perhaps now and then in the Xmas holidays.

***Earniel*** · 12-01-2009, 04:30 PM

Very well. And of course you can pick another chapter, Coffeehouse, two even if you like.

As from now on, I'm removing the limit of one chapter per person, seeing that chapter shortage will not be an issue. (I'll be putting up an announcement on that shortly.)

So what does the rest of you say? Shall we skip TÃºrin and keep those parts for a possible Children of HÃºrin discussion, or is anyone really wanting to include them now?

Voronwen · 01-07-2010, 12:51 PM

Earniel, do you have any idea at this point in time as to when this project will be underway?

***Earniel*** · 01-07-2010, 04:10 PM

I was waiting just one more week to see whether one more member who expressed interest would pick a chapter. After that I was planning on just going ahead. So soonish, I guess. I hope.

***Tessar*** · 01-12-2010, 01:20 PM

I have not read the Unfinished Tales yet and I would love in on this

. Let me grab a copy today (if I can find one at Halfprice... they usually have them) and I'll see if a chapter catches my eye if that's okay. If not (considering I have not previously read the book) I understand, and I'll stick to participating in the discussion thread

.

***Earniel*** · 01-12-2010, 06:14 PM

If that's okay? If that's okay?! Get your ass to the book store, my young man, so I can sic chapters on you.

I mean of course, sure, we'd love for you to join us!

If you're the type (like me) who loves poking around in the Appendices behind LOTR, you will love the UT!

It would be nice to have you join us!

jammi567 · 01-28-2010, 01:49 PM

I don't mind doing a Turin chapter on this. Although the interesting part of the tale has been taken (grumble...), I do like Turin, even if he can be a prick sometimes.

Basically, I'll be willing to do 1:2 (Narn I HÃ®n HÃºrin: The Childhood of TÃºrin â€“ TÃºrin in Doriath).

I wish that I had joined this site much earlier, so I could do a Sil or LotR chapter, but, alas
