Once again, a Happy New Year to all! I hope that your New Year festivities were enjoyable and that 2006 bring all of your hopes and some pleasant surprises too.
As you might have discerned, I was away for part of the weekend and off of the computer for the rest, per orders from Teh Husband, who was rightfully concerned that his wife has been beating herself to death on holiday-related stuff. So I took a weekend off, accounting for my delay in replying to Friday's comments and my delay in posting this chapter (because I was replying to Friday's comments). My apologies! But I'm back now and ready to welcome 2006 by embarking on the last stretch of AMC.
Some of you might remember that I experienced a data loss a few months ago. Parts of AMC--although, luckily, only one full chapter--were lost. I've yet to begin rewriting the lost chapter/parts, so the weeks to come might have to be confined to only one posting day, to let me catch up. I'm going to do my best to get the missing parts rewritten over the next two weeks, but I can't make any guarantees. But I'll keep everyone posted on this, no pun intended.
In this chapter, we return to Nelyo and Macalaurë, who you might recall are journeying together to the sea to heal Nelyo's woes. I'm keeping the chapter at a general rating, but be forewarned that the boys do curse a bit and chatter about things that adolescent boys tend to chatter about.
Also, while skimming this story for posting, I noticed that I took my usual cop-out route of saving the naming of people and places until the last possible minute. It is my tendency to call people CHARACTER and highlight it until I think of a suitable name. Given my crappiness at thinking of names, that is usually save for five minutes before posting. Some of you, I know, possess skill with Tolkien's languages that I do not. If you spot any errors in my naming, please don't hesitate to berate me for them. And thanks to Claudio's hard work on the Elf Fetish Name Generator, which has helped me out of many a pinch and indeed helped me today.
Am I done rambling? Ihope think so!
Per usual, I appreciate all comments and criticism that you wish to give. Thank you all for reading and best wishes for a happy New Year!
