And I’m writing again, for whoever wants to join.

@emma-flournoy 😛
I’ve read it once before, which is probably why I’m not holding myself to it so strictly this time. I’ve recently finished the council of Elrond, which took me forever. :O
I haven’t read the Silmarillion yet, though.

@Dragon-Snapper Oh my. 😀 But I won’t judge you either because Tolkien can indeed be hard to follow. Is this the first time you’ve read it?
I don’t know how long LotR took me…it was awhile ago and I’m seriously wanting to read it again. I think LotR is easier than the Silmarillion though ’cause it’s more immediately engaging. 😛

@daeus No problem! I did a little bit more character development. Sorry I didn’t respond immediately, though. I had to go to dinner but my computer was freaking out, so I couldn’t warn you. Here is my late warning. *red button flashes and alarms go off*

@dragon-snapper Wrote 512. Thanks for joining in.

@ethryndal At times, but it’s more my fault than anything. I am a…selective reader. I’ve probably begun as many stories as books are on my shelf. 😛

@daeus I’ll join you for a bit.

Hey, folks. I’m going in till six.

@dragon-snapper I won’t judge you for it. Tolkien’s a hard guy to follow. 🙂

@ethryndal @emma-flournoy @daeus I actually started reading it last summer, and even now the Fellowship just left Rivendell. 😛 Slow reader, no. Sluggish reader, yes.

@emma-flournoy Yep.

@Ethryndal Why thank you. And I happen to like peoples’ respect better than trophies, so yay. 😀

@Dragon-Snapper @Daeus @Winter-Rose Well, I’m going to take a break now. I rewrote a whole bunch and feel surprisingly satisfied with it. Thanks for the icecream party. 🙂

@Emma-Flournoy Not a skimmer then? *hands you trophy* You have won my respect.

@Ethryndal Yay! You won’t regret it.
@Daeus is right though…six months is an exaggeration. I’m a slow reader too, and it only took me about a month and a half. It’s not hard if you’re really interested. 😉

Congrats for being a slow reader, Daeus. That’s good. *very serious nodding* Every teensy detail about everything we must catch and…[Read more]

@leumeister Hmm… I feel like I liked 1.1 better actually. In my opinion, the title was right how you had it before. As for the characters, there might some way to make them work, but I’m thinking now that you might have an easier time of it not worrying about them. I know, that sounds radical, but it’s going to be hard to fit them on there in a…[Read more]

@Daeus Well that’s good. I was pretty sure it wouldn’t, for me, anyway, since I’m a fast reader and got through LOTR in roughly two months. The Silmarillion’s kind of smaller.

@ethryndal It really doesn’t take six months. I think I did it in one month and I’m a very slow reader.

@emma-flournoy I literally laughed out loud about the “fair, strong, and tall” part. You’re right; that is so Tolkien. XD And yeah, I heard that it’s no walk in the park. But then I thought, “Do I call myself a Tolkien geek and not read the Silmarillion? I’m braver than this!” So here I go. And I love background. Especially when Galadriel’s in it.…[Read more]
