PaulH had it in one of his dungeons!


And just rewatched the LOTR trilogy after the Hobbit. The Hobbit feels exactly likethe extended version of the LOTR films... so the same lack of tightness, but added detail.

And so yes, the Balrog scene was fresh in my mind too!

Lol, when we feel like it, but I think a day or so after new year is usual. Certainly before next Christmas is customary!

Actually, how about we swap to sentences from tomorrow until the weekend to allow everyone the chance to wrap up the story. Try to tie up stuff from the story, and either myself or Gambit (or anyone else if they really want) can then write a final paragraph to wrap it all up at some point over the coming weekend.

Sound good?

But if we switch to sentences then I will not be able to keep up with my gigantic contribution to the story. :(

That's one vote for no, and I'm leaning on just summarising it at the end.

just make sure you have the word "gigantic" somewhere in your sentence. :P

Well, I didn't recall seeing any forum member names mentioned (though didn't we do that one year, including as many as we could in the one-word-at-a-time story?). And you did just blame me for being pervy ;).

And now I'm back to blaming Ameena for any innappropriateness that results in this sentence! And yes, we did try one year to mention both forum members as well as all the characters.

Absolutely, I'm not advocating a swift end. Everyone should keep their contributions coming. It just feels naturally like the end is near. That might be my fault though ;-)
