Volunteers for next few Silmarillion chapters? Can't Post
The only requirement is that you have read LOTR and the Silmarillion at some point in your life; you don't need to know the HoME series or anything else. I don't know much, but it doesn't hold me back.

Of the Flight of the Noldor: noWizardme has asked for this one
Of the Sindar: I'll do it unless someone else would like it

That leaves:
Of the Sun and the Moon and the Hiding of Valinor (I think half of that chapter is just reading its title)
Of Men (short title; who cares about them?)
Of the Return of the Noldor
Of Beleriand and its Realms

That sets the stage for the more individualized action to follow. Just PM me or answer this thread with the chapter title in the subject line. We don't have a schedule per se; generally we space chapters apart by a week.

Looking ahead, I think we might take 1-3 weeks each for Beren and Luthien and Turin Turambar. Not only are they long, but there are so many aspects to them and so much of Tolkien's heart and soul poured into them, I think we could look at them from multiple angles and find lots to talk about.

And a big THANK YOU to everyone who is participating!!! You are making this a lot of fun.
