I wonder, is interest in the discussion project waning? The last chapter summary I posted barely got 18 replies. And I don't think it was that bad...

I think it's just the beginning of a summer slump... or maybe 'spring fever'!
I've gotten quite behind in my reading, but still hope to catch up and post some thoughts in the threads which have been moved into the sub-forum. So don't get discouraged - the discussion for every chapter may really only be beginning.

To be expected, I would think. The same happened with the silmarillion discussions. Not to worry though, like Val says, those discussions will be there for as long as Entmoot exists - people will always be able to contribute to 'em, and they'll be there as a point of reference for others. And I'm really looking forwards to contributing to mine, which are coming up shortly!

Well folks, we've reached the half-way mark! Congratulations and thank-yous all around! Recent contributors have done a great job of keeping us on schedule as well - and for those who couldn't post, they've been helpful by giving us good notice.
I haven't directly contacted the next several assignees lately, but we appear to be in good shape. The next four or so are still largely active and/or have clearly stated their intentions to keep their commitments. For those who are newer here, or otherwise interested in taking on an assignment, we do have some others a little later which were claimed by members who are no longer active - so if they cannot be contacted, or are unable to write their intros, there may be some chapters available for those interested in getting things rolling. Special thanks to those who have taken a reassignment (or two) to keep us moving.

I'm away for the date mine's assigned to so I can either post it a few days early or late.

I do know I was assigned for yesterday btw, as you can see we're going to be a bit late... hopefully, a bit, that is.

I'm facing an awful lot of work the next month, and then I'll be away on vacation. So, if anyone would be so kind as to take the chapters assigned to me I'd be more than grateful.

Sorry I went missing -- I forgot to inform everyone that I was going out of town. Anyway, I'm back again, so Rad, whenever you and Lin get that section done, just pm me and/ or Valandil and we'll stick it.
Thanks to everyone for keeping the project going, and I'm just unhappy that circumstances led me to be less involved than I was able to be at the beginning. I look forward to contributing after the fact at some point in the future. |

Gaffer - Artanis has a couple chapters that should be coming due in about mid-July or so (EDIT: "The Window on the West" and "The Forbidden Pool" - good stuff!). She appears willing to give them up, so why don't you go ahead and plan on doing them. They're still in TT.
Artanis - I hope we can get you back (for chapter intros) in early fall - I anticipate there will be a few assignments to be filled then. Rad... Lin... how's that 'team assignment experiment' going? It doesn't have to be a 'world-beater' - just cover the basics if you like. You can easily expand on it after you do the intro.

Gaffer, you are welcome to grab my chapters. I'd be grateful to get that task off my todo-list.

Okey dokey.
Am on holiday 11th-18th June but should mid July shouldn't be a problem. Don't overdo it, Arty. It must be something to do with those long summer days in Norway! |

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

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 |

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.
