*whines* that's another good one! I was thinking about it, honestly. But I feared that if I took my time to look over LoTR to see which chapter I wanted, I'd come back just in time to see the last chapter go away. So I just picked first two that I remember enjoying reading in particular.

Too much choice, precioussss....

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-03-2004, 01:26 PM

I notice not many early chapters are taken, so, if necessary, I could also do #4. Book I, ch. 3&4: Three is Company and A Shortcut to Mushrooms.
But if someone else doesn't have chapters and wants them, that's fine. The offer is just, if necessary, to keep things going.

The reason for combining chs. is that some are very short, and also if we're taking two weeks per section, I didn't want to have to wait that long for each chapter. It would be too slow. It is two weeks per section, so #8 won't be due for about 3 months, and #22 won't be due for almost a year.

Thanks Azalea!

I think Lin meant she wants them both; but she might've not. But in anyway we'll do the Voice of Saruman and the Palantir - 'cause I insisted about not doing the knife in the dark and the flight to the ford.

FF - we're doing the Voice of Saruman + the Palantir, so hands off it

***azalea*** · 03-03-2004, 03:13 PM

Remember you are welcome to take up to two chapters. If it comes close to your due date and you don't think you'll be able to do it, it can be reassigned. Please just let me know. Also, you can trade sections, or give one of yours to someone that doesn't have one and wants to do one (I anticipate some newbies will come in during the course of the project), but you just need to LET ME KNOW so that we have an accurate listing. Thanks.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 08-12-2004, 10:38 AM

Can I have The Taming of Smeagol and The Passage Of The Marshes please.

***azalea*** · 08-12-2004, 01:57 PM

Done. Welcome to Entmoot and to our project!

Thanks for the maps, Elanor!

BeardofPants · 04-08-2005, 02:43 AM

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

**Nurvingiel** · 04-08-2005, 08:35 AM

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?

Hopefully by the end of June, but not quite sure yet.

BeardofPants · 06-17-2005, 02:20 AM

Just shouting out that I'm still doing my chapters!

Yes - you have consistently said that, so I've been counting on it. It seems you're looking forward to it, as am I.

Last Child of Ungoliant · 06-17-2005, 09:24 AM

jus to let you know, i am disappearing, and do not know when i shall return hither, but i am still likely to do my assignment, i know it is a long way off, but oft it's said 'the best laid plans of mice and men...'

Butterbeer · 06-17-2005, 02:40 PM

any chapters need doing ... i'm game : i could spin one or two off in a couple of days in this current format: (don't ask how much editing i've been doing this last 2 weeks - it breaks most EU directives by a integer (?) of aT LEAST 5! ) though i would like to elaborate into some more depth and ask some more evocative (from a personal perspective) questions: i have found the whole thing very good and much respect to everyone who has contributed - from a personal perspective i'd like to add my own individual ideas on a chapter: what i liked and why, what suprised me, long-held questions or doubts, little minutiae (can't spell that just now) and how this part fits into the wider world or beleif systems of the moot community etc ...

to be honest, although i enjoy some light relief and banter here on the moot in the main, it'd be nice to to have some serious discussion again ...

again, my respect to all who have taken their time to contribute thus far

Yeah I'm looking forward to your chapter too Boppy.

I'm on vacation right now, and then I'm going to be very busy with Calculus, finding an appartment for next year, and whatnot, so I seriously need to tone down my postings. (As you may or may not have noticed.)

However, I too am shouting out that I'd still like to do my chapters.

Is there an ETA on when "The Scouring of the Shire" and "The Grey Havens" are going to come up?

Whose doing the Appendicies? I'm looking forward to those too.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 06-21-2005, 05:03 PM

I'll be a little late posting mine, as I was away all week end when I was planning to write it, but should have it done for Friday at the latest.

***Rían*** · 03-03-2004, 05:37 PM

Great idea, azalea! I just started re-reading LOTR - it's been a few years because I've been reading the HOME books - and for some reason, I'm appreciating ol' Tom more this time around, so I'll take Book I, ch. 7&8: In the House of Tom Bom and Fog on the Barrow Downs, if they're still open.

Could I just suggest that you PM the person a week in advance to remind them, if you wouldn't mind, in case they can be somewhat forgetful, like me
