You guys go for whatever you want to write for my characters :-)

It's really frustrating, but I'm heading into ANOTHER surgery. This one is arthroscopic knee surgery, so it shouldn't be as bad, but I still don't react well to surgery and I'll be laid up and not feeling well So go ahead and move my characters around if you want to

Good luck with the surgery, Rian. We'll take good care of your characters.

I'm working on Rameldir's next post - it will get there eventually

We'll look after your characters, Rian, and make sure they are fed and cared for at Rivendell.

Wheee!

Now I can just imagine Elrond gathering his robes, running towards the guests' quarters, poking his head in and asking 'Any of you happen to be architects? No? Darn.'

I haven't been around for a while, I'm afraid ...
But if we manage to pick this up again, it would stir up my interest

Yeay! I would very much like to pick this up, or rather pick this up a leeettle more than just one post every year. Maybe, if that could work.

Posted! So there, after (ohmygod!) EIGHT years (!!!) of writing all our characters are finally poised to meet one another!

It was a good post I'm just not around here much anymore I just have so much going on and so little energy. The chemo beat the cancer, but it beat me up a bit, too! Also, my hubby lost his job in a hostile takeover of the company, but the good news is that it looks like we're moving back to California, which I love, especially because my family is there! We are looking at starting up our own business - scary, but I think it's the right move.

I'm just not that into my characters anymore - kill 'em off if you want

Sorry to hear you're still having health problems, RÃ*an. But I'm happy to hear about the move back to California, you always seemed happier there, I hope things work out. What kind of business were you looking to start up?

If you have lost interest in your characters, then perhaps it is time to wrap things up for good. It'll be less fun to continue with just the two of us since Willow hasn't been heard of for a while. (Although I'm game if you are, Varna. )

So maybe Rivendell is a good place to end this story. What say you, my friends?

It often does, doesn't it? But a good thing that you'll be moving closer to family!

I guess we can move them to a little more of background characters rather than killing them off - at least at this point!

Could Eärniel take them over?

Or would you rather we killed them off than taking them over? If so, we can keep them in the background until we're travelling in some dangerous place and get in trouble - and when the trouble is over, we very sadly find that they were killed in the trouble. I've done this before with a character where the writer told me to kill it off. It was an easy way out when I didn't want to describe any further drama.

*enters Entmoot after another absence*
*sees new Journeys entry*
*reads it*

No, not bad at all!

Then the dinner is next? And they should meet Elrond? And all of them should perhaps meet Glorfindel? I don't mean all this should be included in the next post, it's enough for several posts. I just let my imagination loose - and now I need to think about Rameldir's next move - and perhaps someone else should post before him, and we have to include at least Elrond in some way.

Hmmm.

Yes, I think the dinner is a perfect moment to bring all the characters together.

I think we discussed it before but now might be a good time to resort to smaller, individual posts, which might make things a little easier, but with keeping the collaborative posts if and when people would like one.

I was thinking 'who should play Elrond?' and then I went back to see how we've done it so far.
Nobody has been the main writer to play him - Willow and I have both played him whenever one of our characters needed to interact with him. So I expect that should continue to work well - when the guests want to talk to him, just pull him into the conversation (or have him initiate it, as the case might be).

Willow has played Glorfindel, but I guess that he can be included in conversations even when she isn't around, just briefly?

I have played Rameldir and Ainon.

There are other names of Rivendell residents that have been mentioned, and these can be used freely - and new ones can be created, if more are needed. I think Willow made up most of their names, and those are good names - for my own part I'm going to use those people rather than create new ones myself.

I would agree, there's quite an NPC-cast in Rivendell now to draw from, really little point in constantly making up new characters.

Crossposting again ...

I'll think about it. But it won't be easy for us if Willow doesn't turn up.

Edit:
If we continue, we need to make parts of the story less ambitious. I think we should leave Glorfindel behind, and I could just tell briefly how he solved Rameldir's troubles so that Rameldir now fights with a spear. We could also skip over most of Elrond's architecture and building project, and tell briefly that after a couple of months, he can do without us.

We could still visit Rameldir's friend - if your characters want to meet a Kinslayer, Eärniel?

And we should at least finish the dinner and have them meet Elrond.
