Merrily We Roll Along: Next and final discussion Can't Post

I think Oliphant wanted this one? And then Elentari to finish up? Let me know if something needs adjusting., but would next Tues. work for this discussion?

Discussion III

Merry and the Fellowship. Legolas, Gimli, Boromir: Further character development and changes revealed as he becomes a member of the fellowship and goes on his journey with them

"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" ~Frodo

"And then Gandalf arose and bid all men rise, and they rose, and he said: 'Here is a last hail ere the feast endeth. Last but not least. For I name now those who shall not be forgotten and without whose valour nought else that was done would have availed; and I name before you all Frodo of the Shire and Samwise his servant. And the bards and the minstrels should give them new names: Bronwe athan Harthad and Harthad Uluithiad , Endurance beyond Hope and Hope Unquenchable.." ~Gandalf, The End of the Third Age , from The History of Middle Earth series

"He knew now why Beregond spoke his name with love. He was a captain that men would follow, that he would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings."- Siege of Gondor, RotK

I'm wondering if [In reply to] Can't Post

you might go ahead and post yours sometime soon. I haven't been able to reach Oliphaunt, and I don't want to give her post to someone else, so I was considering maybe just do it out of order?

On the other hand, with the boards so slow, we might want to wait for anything until it's relatively normal.

And in the meantime, let's all think about who or what might be good to discuss next. I was thinking of maybe trying out more regions or civilizations as well as characters, like Rivendell or Gondor, since we already did the Shire. Once goings are operating more normally, we might try another poll. Smile

Absences.... [In reply to] Can't Post

Mine were due to the SLOOOW down of the boards....I couldn't check in to read or make my occasional comments.

Now that they are running again -- there's nothing to read. Will do some rereading.

Could be that's true of many. [In reply to] Can't Post

Elentari will get it rolling soon, but in the meantime, if you think you have time, feel free to post anything about Merry that isn't covered by our remaining post proposals, or anything else at all that strikes your fancy, from Trolls to Thorondill ("and beyond!"). Laugh

I might do something like that myself. Hmmm . . .

That Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody situation [In reply to] Can't Post

There's an old gag, with many versions including this one
In the Reading Room's specific case
Everybody likes it when there is new stuff to read.
Anybody can post something for Everybody to enjoy.
But Nobody has to post things.
Unsually Somebody Else has been good enough to do a lot of posting recently or to try to organise Everybody to do it (this role has been kindly taken up by Ethel Duath, Oliphaunt Elantari et al of late. It was me, CuriousG, maciliel, Brethil and some others a while back, and other luminaries before us).

And so we get into the situation where Everybody hopes Somebody will post something, but Nobody does. And then Somebody starts to expect Somebody Else to do even more than they've done already to fix what Anybody and Everybody could do but Nobody is doing.

Ah! But, [In reply to] Can't Post

(I actually may try something in a minute. But Elentari says she may be able to post this week, so I'll do something short and sweet-ish, or completely un-overlapping.)
