Great posts, Udu and CS !
I loved your mention of the "vast chasm between mortals and Nazgul" and the runaway horse, Udu. And CS's recollection of Umbar. Yes indeed the acute sense of smell must make their lives more difficult. Will Lilly and Udu meet while shopping? |

I was always taught that wine tasting involved spitting the wine out after sampling it. It is nice to see that Jas and his two drinking fellows don't let it go to waste.
Although I am a little curious to see a Nurn wine on their table. Did Gondoreans go into Mordor to set up wine plantations? And would there already be crops of them so "shortly" after the demise of Sauron? Unless they merely took over the plantations the nazgul had there. I'm inclined to think not, but if I got my history mixed up, please correct me. Quote:

Eärniel - It's post 524 - go ahead and edit it in, if you want to.
On second thought, maybe it would be better for you to write your own post and I'll edit in something in my post that will match up with it. Let me know what you choose and I'll act accordingly. Quote:

Nurn is known to be an agricultural region: Quote:
Now Gondor has occupied Mordor, including the Nurnen region. There was no open war that far south, so the plantations were intact. Would the Gondoreans burn vines, or crop fields in their newly acquired lands? Hardly. I believe, most of the wine made in Nurn at the beginning of the TA will be sold in Gondor, some exported to Arnor, some to Khand or Harad.. |

Guys, what is the matter? Why so many of you STOPPED POSTING?
VALANDIL??? Lotesse?? Maggie?? Shah? Udu, I made Lilly meet you. Please, write the follow-up. You may write Lilly's part as well, she is not complicated at all. Just an ordinary very happy she-ringwraith. Yes, and make her tell you Khamul is leaving (another reason for happiness!). Love your posts! CS. |

I think the spitting is so that you can keep your senses about you when you're wine-tasting, as opposed to trying to get drunk. I don't think you try to spit it across the room or anything I think you just spit it out.

Crazy Squirrel, wonderful new post! It really put me there, especially combined with Udu's also excellent runaway horse post. Sorry I haven't been posting, it's getting harder for me lately what with my RL complications, like getting sick, still not having a home computer (for that matter, still living in the hotel), having other stuff really on my mind distracting me from our story, stuff like that. This laptop I borrow at my man's office is prone to totally unexpected shutdowns, and so I'm always paranoid it'll crash when I'm in the middle of a post, like right now for instance - I hope it doesn't crash right now. It's done it to me a few times. My boyfriend's using his main computer all the time, so it's not so easy for me to get time on his good computer, and have that time coincide with a creatively inspired moment, stuff like that. But you guys, I'm not gonna leave the story or anything; it's just taking a lot longer than I ever anticipated to get settled in a new real home again. It is HELLA depressing but I try not and dwell on it. Things could be a lot worse. Still, I hope we have a new house before Christmas. I want a little Christmas tree.

Lotesse, hope you get your own place and that Christmas tree soon. CS, if there is anything I wrote that you don't want, just give me the word and I will edit. There have not been many posts the past few days. All those absent are missed. |

I second that! ("all those absent are missed")
Udu - fun ref. to Melian and Thingol! Are they universally admired among the Nazgul? Eärniel - I had a thought re our PM, and I decided to send rpg-Rian to the jeweler's, then I just saw that Udu and Lilly are there - that could be interesting ... Let me know if you want me to edit, please, or just to kill it altogether and do the conversation later.

For me, its hte holidays, and I have no inclination to post just now, Maggie is back in Seattle, with her family for turkey day, Valandil...Well, it's Valandil, he will get his royal rear in gear and post when he so wants to. And Lotesse is moving. That pretty much sums it up.

Its funny... because Lotesse hasn't posted, Shah can't complete her race post. Until Shah posts that, Ray and Viv can't get to their Jewelry Class... so Maggie isn't posting... such a lot of people waiting for each other!
I also miss the absentees... esp, Valandil, who has been gone since that talking-sword post...

OK everyone - I've been a little swamped. And... maybe short on inspiration. I just wasn't sure where to take things or what to do.
Anyway - I have just now at last edited POST #443 (the 'sword post'), and also filled in my placeholder POST #488 - so I have those updates. Sorry to send you all so deep back into the thread, and I hope everyone will be OK with things as I now have them. I hope to get something else up soon - but not right now.

Hey all! Sorry for the long wait; Lack of inspiration, a cross country flight from virginia to seattle, and much socializing with family conspired to keep me away.
