Writers will have 2 days, drawers will have 3. Dates are when you can look forward to getting the piece or sentence to work on.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-09-2006, 01:41 PM

As long as I get my work after the 12th. I'm going to Wales for the weekend. So lets just hope there are no early finishers to ruin my plans of being punctual.

drawers will have 3

Thanks, on the 23 and, more likely 24, I am a bit busy and most likely will not have time to spend on drawing, due to important acts of commitment and related things.
Hmmm, I'm thinking of using a different medium this time too. Thank you anyways.

Damrod · 11-10-2006, 09:04 AM

I would like to sign up for the next game, whenever that would be. If possible, just drawing for me.

Rikae · 11-10-2006, 10:37 AM

I'll sit the next one out, but I'd like to participate in the one after, if there's room.

EDIT: Thanks Holby! (Only just read your post now.) I don't remember; but what I did is drew it with a ballpoint pen, scanned it and colored it on Photoshop.

Holbytlass · 11-28-2006, 04:29 PM

*ring, ring*

We start off with my sentence:
Treebeard, Tom Bombadil and the Balrog love to play "ring around the rosies".

Glirdan draws this piece:

High King Fingolfin states that:
A rather feminine looking Treebear, a gingerbread Balrog, and a floating Tom Bombadil all stand behind a group of lollipops stuck into the ground.

Hookbill's first stab at drawing results in:

Firefoot came up with:
In a game of Candy Land gone horribly wrong, Treebeard, wearing a green dress and purple lipstick, cautions the flying Tom Bombadil and a demonic looking gingerbread man not to be hasty.

Elrondsdaughter took the description and made:

Mormegil insisted that it was:
An Ent wife and a gingerbread devil study a map of Candyland while the spy Alatar flies over them.

The Ka took it and sketched:

In which Rune finishes with:
Super Barrow-Wight teaches Old Man Willow and Cake-devil to play game of life, instead of eating Hobbits and children.

*I'm sorry but I don't know why the other drawings only showed as links*

Firefoot · 11-28-2006, 04:41 PM

Hilarious!

mormegil · 11-28-2006, 04:51 PM

Rather comical. I must say THE Ka's drawing of what I stated was spot on.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-28-2006, 05:18 PM

I guess it shows that I am not a native English speaker when I say Cake-devil and not Gingerbread-devil.

The Danish version of a Gingerbread man is called a Cake man. . .when I saw people using Gingerbread-devil I actually yelled "of course" (in Danish)

I must say I found Hookies drawing very funny and the Ka's was beautiful as always.
Actually everybody did good, but these where the ones that stood out to me.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-28-2006, 05:27 PM

Fantastic!
I think it must be discussed in times to come weather Old man willow really did eat Children... I think he did.
Sorry, Ka, I'm afraid Glirdan wins the art competition.

High King Fingolfin · 11-28-2006, 07:31 PM

That was ... unexpected. I was debating whether to say "lollipops", or "reflectors," but I eventually went with the former because Oro said it sounded more interesting.

THE Ka · 11-28-2006, 08:40 PM

With the Entwife, I thought, "Hmmm, in Candy Land there is a tree called 'Mama Ginger Tree' and she runs a orchard operation with painfully happy gingerbread children..." Then, it just made me picture how your little coloured plastic children/hobbit-like pieces 'visit' the orchard, and thus the sign.

With Alatar, well, my father has been going crazy over the new Bond movie, and that influenced the 'B.W.' parachuted Alatar. Plus, I thought it looked cool.

Glirdan's was wonderful though, definately has me laughing...

In Elrondsdaughter's drawing, the little fellow flying overhead reminds me of the singing sparrow in Thumbelina. I watched it with my cousin once, that sparrow had nice boots.

Holby I must say, this was an excellent game! I really enjoyed it.

Thank you,
Ka

Rikae · 11-28-2006, 10:05 PM

That was marvellous. I don't think I can survive any longer without Paper Telephone...sign me up for the next game?

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-29-2006, 02:39 AM

I don't know if Holby wants to do the next one or not, but here is the list of those who are signed up so far.

- Damrod
- Rikae
- (Hookbill, if someone else is moding).

We need some who havn't yet been in one, I think. It's only fair.

Holbytlass · 11-29-2006, 07:10 AM

I'd be glad to play hostess again unless someone else wishes to. Keep in mind that one has to have photobucket(something of this type) and be willing to give out their email address.

If no one volunteers to host, then I'd like to do what HookBill did last time, have everyone draw and write.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 11-29-2006, 07:36 AM

This looks immensely fun. I'd like to join the next round.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 11-29-2006, 01:44 PM

That's just hilarious! If I can join, please count me in!

Glirdan · 11-29-2006, 02:29 PM

Oh my....I didn't think my picture would have THAT effect!!

But it was a lot of fun!! I'd like to play again!! This time though, if you can, put me down for writing.

Oddwen · 11-29-2006, 02:37 PM

I'd love to sign up again...however, because of possible computer restraints, could you sign me up for writing? ty!

Firefoot · 11-29-2006, 02:51 PM

I'd like to play again if there's room - I'll draw or write, whichever is needed more...

elronds_daughter · 11-29-2006, 08:22 PM

Wondrous. I'll play again, if I may.

Meneltarmacil · 11-29-2006, 08:32 PM

I've gotta say it:

That Balrog would probably be more recognizable as a Balrog if somebody had drawn wings on it.

High King Fingolfin · 11-29-2006, 11:23 PM

I'd like to write again next game if possible.

Thinlómien · 11-30-2006, 02:38 AM

I'd love to draw, but even if I "must" write, I will play.

Farael · 11-30-2006, 04:03 AM

I'd like to give this a shot... can I be signed up but for writing only? I can't draw, much less on the computer.

We will take more for those who wish till start time

Nimrodel_9 · 11-30-2006, 05:36 PM

If I could figure out how to work my scanner, I would draw, but since I can't, I would love to write!

Orominuialwen · 12-01-2006, 01:04 AM

I'd love to play again! I can either write or draw. The only challenge will be keeping it hidden from my brother!

IMPORTANT!!!
I'm going away for three days on the 15th... anything up to then or after the 18th should be fine for me, but I'll need to switch places with someone else. Please?

Highly probably, it won't.

Any writers willing to switch with Farael? Otherwise we would just have to wait the 3 days.
