I'll try and get a chapter division up soon. I would suggest though -for now- to limit everyone to one chapter each so everyone has an equal chance at reviewing chapters. At least in the beginning, if some chapters remain open, then naturally people can do more than one chapter.

This is perfectly fair If i can do no other, i'd be most heartbroken if i couldn't do the Description of Numenor.

There, I've listed the chapters in the first post of this thread, together with information. I think I have covered about everything. I've decided to split up the Narn I Nîn Húrin because it's far longer than all other chapters. Any other suggestions?
I haven't filled in any names yet, so if those who expressed an interest in a chapter could confirm them taking the chapter, I'll start adding the names.

It's more than a little heart-breaking, but I'll take "Disaster of the Gladden" - unless someone else wants it in a bad way.
I notice you give some 3-week periods and some 2-week periods - and even a 1-week. Was that intentional?

I had planned to give each chapter two weeks, and the three longer ones: Tuor in Gondolin, Aldarion & Erendis and Galadriel & Celeborn three weeks. I do believe we used two-weeks as standard in the other discussions. I don't know whether three weeks won't be too long, but those chapters do have more material. Or maybe I should rather put each chapter at two weeks, and just delay the next chapter if the discussion is still ongoing. It'll be easier, I suppose, to delay than to speed up. Decisions, decisions....

Thank you so much, Earniel!
I see but one tiny sticking point... Quote:
I need to go away that week, as i'm in a wedding this holiday season. I leave on the 26th. How does December 17th sound?

Is the deadline for when the intro should be up so we can start discussing it - or for when we expect to have finished a section/chapter? If the latter, when do you need the Gondolin intro? I'm strongly considering doing it, but I need to reread it first ...

You have decided on Tuor in Gondolin? I'll put your name up. As for the start, as I said to Voronwen, the dates I gave so far are rather more suggestions then fixed dates. So basically, when do you think you can get it ready? I suggested half-way October but preferably (at least, I would prefer it so ), all chapters should be assigned before we start. Or at the very least, Part One and Part Two.

Well - so far we've got the 3 V's, covering the first assignment from each of the first Three Ages!

Technically, yes, but you understand that the timing for your chapter is partly dependant on previous chapters. So we'll try to avoid lumping your chapter in your holiday trip, but I can't give an exact date yet for when it will your turn.
Eh, fun!

Yes, that's understandable. I just won't have daily access to a computer while i'm away, so i wouldn't want to start it too close to my departure date and then leave everyone hanging. Thanks for working with it, though.

I'm rereading it now - hadn't read it for some years, and there are lots of things I had forgotten. It's a shame that it stops before it gets to Gondolin proper, though. I think Christopher agrees ...

We will each start a new thread with our intro - should we choose some consistent way of naming our threads, to make it easier for people to find the right one when they join the project later?

Starting a new thread for each chapter will be the easiest, I think. That is how the other discussions were done anyway.
The naming isn't much of a problem, I can always tweak them for consistency afterwards. But it might definitely help if we put 'UT Discussion' in beginning of the title.
