Okay here's the deal.

[gluey]

I swear to God.

I will post what I've been supposed to post for multiple years now.

I swear I will.

I'm so very sorry for my lack of existence. Seriously, I just have so much to do and I haven't been very interested in writing for quite a while.

But my love of literature has been reinvigorated, and I plan to put my all into my posts.

Just for clarification - what is needed of me, still? I know The Hour of the Wolf, I have to post...something.



Again, sorry for my extended absence. I do apologize fully.

He's BACK!

He's alive!

Here we go:

We need two things from you on THOTW. One, at the end of the thread, Grohn is washed ashore and is taken in by a man with a vulture ring and a young son. Grohn cooks up some lie about how he washed ashore and decides he really likes that ring. He kills the father and the son, steals the ring, and shoves the bodies into the hearth. He leaves, swearing to find Rowen again someday and kill her.

Second, on the same thread, we need flashbacks of Grohn's past. The flashbacks would go pretty early in the thread, and we were just going to cut and paste them, eventually working them in to be more fluid. Here was what we decided (quotes from elsewhere on the boards):

"Okay. My plan: use both ideas. These two cities (countries, nations, we’ll work that out some point) will be reluctant allies, having aligned themselves over a war in the past years, which we will probably refer to as The Great War, or something similar. To replace the War of the Ring, which is occasionally referred to, since this is also where Lerris’ apprentice dies.

So, these cities are reluctant allies to ward off the darkness that threatened to consume the land. However, they do not like one another. They are the kind of allies that talk dirt when the other one isn’t looking, partially stemming from religious differences, one built of earth-believers, who live in small and scattered clans that combine into a great nation. The other is built of either one-god believers or Greek-esque pagans, living in restricted but fortified cities. And they don’t like one another--the alliance is shaky at best, holding together only because of what they’d been through together.

Enter Grohn. He’s an imprisoned criminal in Gondor, kept there for murder. You said before, I believe, that he lived in Laketown, where he killed his parents. Let’s go with that, but he traveled over the years, and ended up in Gondor, where he was caught--or he was caught close enough, and imprisoned there. It has been six years. Six because one group fights for his death and the other believe his compelling lies and fight for his right to be free. At the end of the six years, a noble comes to him to give him an offer. Not the leader of Gondor, but a wealthy lord. In exchange for his release and full pardonment and protection, he will assassinate the heir to the lead of Rohan--because he wants war, in reasons for profit, station, and distaste for Rohirrim. Grohn agrees, and is taken to the outskirts of Rohirrim territory cuffed and at the end of a big stick to keep distance between the escorts and himself. Grohn is released, if you like (I figured you would) he kills the escorts, and goes off to do the deed. As it turns out, the target is the daughter of the luminary (I figure it would cause more of an uproar). He does the deed, then has all hell following him back to Gondor. He outruns them, and comes to Gondor, reminding his lord of his promise. The lord decides... screw you! and has Grohn recaptured. To hide the truth of the deal, he has Grohn sent to an obscure hamlet to rot for the rest of his days.

A few month later, enter Rowen, drunk and in prison."

How's that one for the first of the 2 things asked of me?

[Rowenna]

Uh... that one scene... well, you write it... and then that's one.

I'm thinking I prolly don't understand the question.

[gluey]

I already did it....

[Rowenna]

Oh! Don't mind me, my head is pretty gone after a day's worth of OChem. Well, you're pretty awesome then! I'll give it a thorough reading tomorrow

[gluey]

I do hear hear Organic Chem is pretty god-awful.

[Rowenna]

Let's just say I have never, ever... ever, ever, ever, in the history of my college career... failed a test before.

And that's when I thought I had that thing down.

[gluey]

Then why take it? That's my ultimate question.

What even is the subject matter of Organic Chem?

[Rowenna]

I have to take it for my medical degree; it's required. The content... how to synthesize organic compounds. How the molecules orient to do this. The exact mechanisms.... ick.

[Rowenna]

Just a quick note, I'm sorry I haven't read your post yet--OChem killed me today. That woman (dare I call her that) who claims to be a teacher marked me down three questions on my exam that I know have to be right. Assuming I get my fourteen points back, after I get credit for correcting my test, my F should be a C. Ugh, I'm seeing red. That woman gives me so much grief.

[Rowenna]

OK, gluey, read your post. Looks good to me.

[gluey]

I keep tweaking it.

[Rowenna]

All real writers do.

[gluey]

So dismissive...
