THE HOBBITS
The first draft for Chapter X is up! What will they find at the ruins of Dol Guldur!
Thanks again for all the help and encouragement! Michael Martinez has written an article that outlines some of the difficulties I am facing! You can read it here. A fascinating look at one critic's discouraging views of attempts to write a Lord of the Rings sequel! I would tell you why he's wrong, but that would spoil the story, wouldn't it? |

Re: THE HOBBITS
There is decidedly less interest here than elsewhere, nonetheless, just to let some few of you know, Chapter XI of THE HOBBITS is drafted now!

Re: THE HOBBITS
Chapter XII is now available for preview.
Not interested? Some folk seem to think this is a good tale so far... |

Re: THE HOBBITS
You think _that's_ uninterest? Try posting a 'which Vala would you serve if you were a Maia' thread. That gets them. For myself, I haven't read Chapter II yet.

Re: THE HOBBITS
Free advertising. I think this story is quite good. So far I have yet to notice any continuity errors (but I haven't really been looking for them either).

Re: THE HOBBITS
Chapter XIII is now up!
By the way, MM had a kind word for the beginning of the work in another forum, so he's now my favorite critic! |

Re: THE HOBBITS
Now Chapter XIV is up at the draft forum. I don't expect to maintain this pace after April but it's moving along nicely right now.

Re: THE HOBBITS
Did he now? That's a surprise, er, begging your pardon, I love your work, but I didn't expect him to like it very much. What forum?

Re: THE HOBBITS
That would be the Silmarillion Draft forum at the Barrow-Downs in the Copywrite thread.
Working on Chapter XV. Will post today or tomorrow. I don't mind giving MM a gentle poke once in a while! He's a big boy, and a Great Contributor to our general understanding of Middle-earth. I couldn't write THE HOBBITS without the help of his Suite 101 articles and the scholarship of individuals such as yourself, Eruve, Finduilas, Mithadan, Lindil, and some new guy "F" (whose name escapes me at the moment) who caught some egregious errors way back in Chapter One! I have only recently acquired the HOME and the LETTERS and I already see that I will never match the understanding that you folk have, even if I do hope to at least become more conversant in the Lore of the Legendarium. |

Re: THE HOBBITS
Have you suddenly been stricken by amnesia? Don't you remember my e-mails? From Ranadwelt? You aught to refer to them! 'Some new guy' would be Falmarion. That's me!

Re: THE HOBBITS
"THE HOBBITS" sounds good. How is it I missed it skimming through the Bare-bones site? I'll have to check it out again.

Chapter XVIII -- PURSUIT
I am now sure that I will NOT finish this month, having lost more than a week to illness and busy-ness. More busy-ness lies ahead, unfortunately!
Congratulations on the new ENTMOOT MODERATORS! |

Re: Chapter XVIII -- PURSUIT
Why thank you! I hope your sickness if gone, and the Son of Gilthal is well enough to please those who have the ear with his brilliant spells of tales?

Chapter XIX -- HIDE AND SEEK
You can probably guess from the title which way this chapter goes...
