Silmarillion chapter re-assignments
Chapter 5- Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië: was due to be posted and to begin discussion today, but the person that this chapter was assigned to has not been to the board for some time. Therefore, in order for the discussion to continue, I have decided to post this thread, if anyone would be interested in taking this chapter.
Also, if for any reason, any of you that have volunteered to do one of the chapters are unable to do so, please post here ASAP, so that another volunteer can take the assignment, and discussion can move along. I understand that this project extends far into the future, and things can happen, but please if possible say something so that we can find a replacement. Thank you all for making the project a successful one so far.

*Gulp* Looks like no one else has volunteered, so in the interest of keeping this great project going, I am going to do the intro for this ch. I will do the best I can with what I have, and I count on everyone adding their knowledge to the discussion, as you always do anyway, to help in covering all the bases. I plan to work it all out tonight and tomorrow, and I will post my intro stuff tomorrow night, if that's okay. Just let me know if it's not. Also, should I just make a thread then and stick it at the top, SGH?

What an angel you are. This is more than acceptable, and since you are a super mod, by all means, don't wait around for me to stick it. Although I am pretty quick about it since it is one of my passions.
 You go for it though.One note- I would like to make it clear for all members that have taken an assignment. The dates for these chapters are set. Unless there is a lengthy amount of time in finding a new volunteer to do it, all chapters will stay on schedule as planned. Unfortunately as in this case, some days will be taken away from a chapter if it is delayed. Remember that it can always be brought back in discussion though. It will just not be a sticky

If no replacement can be found to do chapter 6, I'll take it. This project is far too interesting to stop so soon. I may need a day to prepare it though.

If there is a problem with Chapter 7, I will do that one, but I'd like to know ASAP, obviously.

Chapter 8- Intro by zavron Chapter 11- Intro by- Vortuniel There may be others that come along. The only reason I list these is because the people that have volunteered to do them, have not been on the board or posted for a long time.

Hmm, well, I won't do anything rash, but I shall take another look at Chapter 8 - in a general kind of way - and take notes this time!

Well SGH, since I hide behind your skirts when Ruinel is trying to run me over, I will gladly volunteer to do any chapter needing reassignment.

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |

Where has this forum come down too, when a ??????????? is taken to be an insult.

Re Chapter 11 discussion
Hello, I am still here and definitly still wanting to do the intro on Chapter 11, I started making notes just after christmas but was halted in my efforts by my baby brother 'alf inchin' (pinching for those not familiar with the term) my copy of the Sil. I shouldn't complain really as I have been trying to convince him to bite the bullet and give it a go for a while now, I have my best discussions on the Hobbit and LOTR with him and wanted to extend the chats to include the Sil. I am very proud of the fact that I introduced him to this wonderful world.
Anyway back on subject, he is air-mailing me my book back asap (he is still living in the UK) and I shall resume my note making upon its return. Please don't take my lack of posts as a lack of interest! The truth is I only have internet access at work and it has been very busy of late. I manage to get on and take a peak at the moot every now and then to keep up but I haven't had the time to contribute. I am however very aware of all that is occuring in this happy community. I will endevour to show my face (figuratively speaking of course) more often. |
