Please note: We don't know everything and it's perfectly possible that we missed something. These summaries and questions are by no means supposed to be complete and exhaustive. If you have looked further into this particular topic or would like to discuss something that we've overlooked, please share it! (The questions are starting points, not the only things to discuss.)

Also, please don't be afraid to talk amongst yourselves. We don't want this to be an echo chamber or for us to be lecturing to you. We want this to be a discussion among the community as a whole.

SWG Re-Read - "Of the Coming of the Elves" Discussion Post

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

The Graphics Post has been updated again! A big thank you to lignota and ljusastjarnan for creating lovely new banners.

Second, welcome to the first of this fortnight's chapter discussions!
I'm experimenting with a new approach to the earlier versions this time, namely, something essay-ish. If you don't think it works or if you prefer the lists we've done so far, please let me know!
