Part one of the finale is in.

What? You didn't think I was going straight to happily ever after, did you?

littlemanpoet · 07-21-2007, 09:44 AM

So who wants to what with this yet? Join the wild wedding? Call it done? Fuhgedabowdit?

Celuien · 07-21-2007, 11:39 AM

I'm so sorry for being absent. Really, I'm trying to keep up. But there's this whole being stuck on duty for 75 hours a week thing that keeps getting in the way. (I'm about to run down to the ER now.) Anyway, I'll fill that save tomorrow.

littlemanpoet · 07-21-2007, 01:19 PM

You needn't be sorry, Celuien. We understand how busy you are. But then you're not the only other writer. Is everybody else considering themselves done?

Diamond18 · 07-21-2007, 03:42 PM

Well it's my understanding that Ang's going to make some kind of post.... at least his last post indicated he wasn't done. And it indicated his character was going to seek out Skittles. So... I'm waiting to see what he does with that. If he's not disappeared off the face of the Downs and I missed it, being half disappeared myself.

Lhunardawen · 07-21-2007, 04:20 PM

As for me, I need Form around before I do something, because I can't write much for Maika without needing to involve Hyarmenwë. I think.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-21-2007, 04:52 PM

As for me, I'm done.

Kath · 07-21-2007, 04:56 PM

I'm having problems with creativity of any sort at the moment. I was going to wait for the wedding to be finished with and then try and come up with a final post.

Celuien · 07-22-2007, 08:10 PM

Blargh. Internet Exploder ate my post.

I've no energy to reconstruct it now, but I will tomorrow.

Celuien · 07-24-2007, 08:33 PM

After yet another post loss (grr!), the save is filled.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-25-2007, 08:19 AM

May I recommend composing posts in a word processing program and copying and pasting once it's finished? Sometimes it means editing font tags and things, but it keeps your work safer. Believe me, I've gone off crying my eyes out over enough lost posts to last a life time...

I used to do that all the time, mainly for spelling and grammar. Then Google Toolbar came along.

Celuien · 08-26-2007, 08:52 AM

Panakeia has been sent to the Stabby. We should be able to wrap this up soon...

littlemanpoet · 08-26-2007, 03:29 PM

Grr. Had a post all written and lost it. Must go find. Grr. Back soon.

Celuien · 09-02-2007, 06:53 PM

Okay. Unless there are any edit requests, I'm finished.

It's been great fun to write this with all of you.

Diamond18 · 09-03-2007, 07:24 PM

So does this mean it's over over?

Will Skittles and Tom never get their resolution?

Lhunardawen · 09-04-2007, 03:46 PM

And will Hyarmenwë ever find his daughter?

piosenniel · 09-05-2007, 01:51 AM

Shall I send the game and Discussion Thread to Elvenhome now?

littlemanpoet · 09-05-2007, 10:15 AM

I'm sorry, I didn't realize there were loose ends. Diamond & Lhuna, do you want to post some more? I thought that all of your were done.

Formendacil · 09-05-2007, 09:30 PM

*cough*, *cough*

I suppose... technically... I really should help Lhuna with that particular resolution--given that Hyarmenwë is my character.

Still... don't not close it solely on my account.

littlemanpoet · 09-06-2007, 08:52 AM

I will remove my "FINIS" post as soon as someone makes the request.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 09-06-2007, 11:37 AM

I had originally aimed for one final co-post with the phantom, which is, if I'm honest, not at all necessary.

Given the nature of the story itself, it would almost seem contrived if suddenly everyone had a simple, wrap-up ending. I like the end the way it is, with a bit of confusion, and just about everyone taken care of. It leaves it open if anybody ever wants to turn this idea into a trilogy (not me!), but is honest to the rest of the plot for there to be just a hint of question and mayhem in the finale.

So I'm content with a finis, but if anybody has any strong feelings otherwise, they should speak up.

Just know that I'm happy to sit back and wave goodbye.

Diamond18 · 09-06-2007, 05:04 PM

I'm done with Skittles, if there was anything Ang wanted to do, I suppose he would have done it by now... I don't intend to write anything for Tom Felton so that's that for me.
