I'm hoping that receipt of the map will end my drought. :(

I'm sorry I'm so pathetic with this; I'd say I'd lost faith in my ability to write, but I know that's just SOOOOO melodramatic! :D

I got the map yesterday and it is wonderful! It must have been a lot of work to do that.

Thank you! :love:

:D

Glad those who got mapas have them, the rest should arrive soon. Takes an age by snail mail.

Alandriel, of course ou will have one as soon as we fix up time to see you ;)

And yep, it took hours to do, but it was fun. :cheers

It may be melodramatic, but it's how I feel. :oops: Must not give in to it....

Alandriel, there is one for you too, but we thought we'd save on postage and drop by sometime after work. ;)

Samuel is crazy about this map.... He drew a few himself now... (not quite as exquisit) but I'll send one back at you one of these days.

:D

I am crazy about it too....

but my post is still not finished, just a page long by now, by far not enough. I just have no time!!!

Thank you Din! :cheers I immediately searched out my Inn. I felt so proud! :love:

My kids were..... :Q :Q

And my husband was.... :suspicious:

And I was....(see dancing idiots above)

Leoba, the drought is icky but it's reassuring to have company. I offer you wine in consolation :drunk: . The muse likes wine (and I like whine and well as wine :D ).

Glad you like it Impy :D

I was going to say, cause I know Lhaewin asked me about this on PM (sorry I havn't responded). But if you don't find your house/hole or whatever on the map, don't worry. There are enought spare properties to chose from. What I would ask though is if you pm me with the chosen location I can amend the master copy ;)

Oh, and now you all have muse fodder....hint....hint :D

:hug:

Then we need to fix up something fast :D (especially considering that a certain other elfess is in town too soon). Besides, I still also have to give you stuff :halo:

I'm sure that map will put my Meltara muse just right.... she's a real whiner at the moment and just can't get anything sensible out, the silly twit :rage:

Somehow it's still not what I wanted, but I thought that it's useless to wait for the muse for another century....

Now you all yell at me!

Actually, I quite liked it.

You did tweak my sensertive nose with comments about showing ankles, not somethiong a decent girl would do, but the whole thing seamed to fit. Interesting Mistress Nin :hug:

Metal splinters huh......and mentioning that you would be able to make up a shortfall in your landlords income, lost from his sale of goose eggs huh.....convenient. I do wonder if that Sheriff of mine should over hear that in the bar ;)

May even tweak my muse into production, it has been more concerned with drawing another map, this time Bree County and the lands as far as Amon Sul, the Brandywine (Baranduin), the Northdowns above Chet wood, and Cardolan down to a city called Anorast (I think, it is purloined from MERP).

Not sure when it will be finished, or sent out though *roll*

And Alandriel finally has her map...... so her excuses are shrinking to less than a trolls hygine in summer LOL

trolls hygine in summer :Q - no, please DON'T explain that one

:P

Hmmmm, excuses, excuses :scratch let's see..... muse stone cold and unconscious under a boulder? Muse not having surfaced yet since the last adventure called Nemo and the voyage to find the Red October? Muse unconcious from brain melt-down over dispute resolution?

Nah - you won't buy those I know :P and not even having had time to glance at the map does not help either but I completely blaim that on Kandinsky who's commanded my attention these past days

But - there is hope. I have the entirety of the RP thread printed out and next to my night-table, above the stacks of papers I ought to read for school :halo:

The map sure sparked my interest and my muse also; it was just time that was lacking. :D

Hope I didn't step on your toes Din in writing about Mufti.

I've created more NPC's in the form of Iris (no last name), Bess Hawthorne and Gillian Thistledown. Feel free to use them if you wish, I have no immediate plans for any of them except Jilly.

Oh, I almost forgot! If anyone is interested in the location of Ben Ferny's house as far as the map goes, I have placed it (in my mind) off the map, just south of the willow tree at the bottom of the map.

Hunter, what can I say but :hug:

That was the most delightful piece of prose that I have read in ages. Really very nice indeed, and no toe stepping at all. The map is there for use and abuse, and I will make sure I amend the master copy to show the Ferney residence :D

And I love the girls, they work really well.

I am suitable impressed.

all we need do now is priose a few otheres to write, including me :oops:

I was too tired and too uninspried for more or better, but one of these posts, Sioban will meet the other girls.... and maybe be tempted to share some nasty secrets;)?
