Yeah, as I mentioned in the Teacup... RIGHT over my head. And on the Internet, I don't even have to be short!

Hmm... that IS a tragedy - perhaps we should start some kind of rescue operation!

Have you been to the library in 2 years, GM?

"Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do."
Is that how you do this? Susie |

I think the rules are posted in the first post of this thread, but basically, you choose a quote that is spoken in the book (it doesn't really work if you just use expositional phrases because there isn't always a "speaker" in those cases).
Then you replace the spaces with "/" and every other letter with "_". We also sandwich punctuation in "/", like "word/,/word" S_/,/a/_u_t_/m_g_t/_o_k/_i_e/_h_s/. (So, a quote might look like this). Then we fill in the missing letters and guess the speaker. The person to get the last correct element posts the next quote. I think it's high time we hijack GreyMouser's quote. Feel free to do so, Susie (I would choose a different quote than you posted above, though... it may be too easy for us to guess! )

Like this? I_/ o_/ A_l_n'_/ s_d_/ e_e__/ i_/ t_e_e/ i_n'_/ a_y/ A_l_n/ t_/ l_a_/ i_/. I'_/ g_i_g/ t_/ l_v_/ a_/ l_k_/ a/ N_r_i_n/ a_/ I/ _a_/ e_e_/ i_/ t_e_e/ i_n'_/ a_y/ _a_n_a. ?

Almost like that - we usually don't leave the space between the words, but let the slash replace it completely. Like I_/o_/A_l_n'_/s_d_/e_e__/i_/t_e_e/i_n'_/a_y/A_l_n/t_/l_a_/i_/.
Which I, incidentally, guess should be Im/on/Aslan's/side/even/if/there/isn't/any/Aslan/to/lead/it/. Midge, should that be I/'/m/on/Aslan's/side/ or just I'm/on/Aslan's/side/ ? And I leave the rest of the quote for Midge or anyone else

I'm going to live like a Narnian even if there isn't any Narnia.
Is this Jill? It sounds like The Last Battle, which is my favorite book... I usually do contractions like/I'_/ since the slashes indicate spaces.

It's not from The Last Battle, it's from The Silver Chair, from the discussion with the Lady of the Green Kirtle when she's trying to enchant them.
It could still be Jill - and if it isn't, I'd go for Puddleglum.

And we sailed from Galma, and ran into a calm for the best part of two days and had to row,
and then had wind again and did not make Terebinthia till the fourth day from Galma. And there their King sent out a warning not to land for there was sickness in Terebinthia, but we /_o_b_e_/ the /_a_e/ and put in at a little creek far from the city and watered. Then we had to lie off for three days before we got a south-east wind and stood out for /_e_e_/ Isles. The third day out a pirate (Terebinthian by her rig), overhauled us, but then she saw us...

Only one word wrong - the last 'then'.

Is that word "keel"? Or "heel", maybe?
