Sorry I haven't posted for so long but I was rushing to get the
new site ready for its debut. Witchking had already finished creating all the images and the
interactive Flash movie, and I was holding things up because most of the stuff I'd been working on wasn't anywhere close to finished. And I don't think I need to tell those of you who know him, but Witchking is a cruel taskmaster. Everything else had to be put on hold, including my meager social life, until my job was done. But I suppose it was worth it, especially considering that we took more than two years to complete it (and we're still not finished yet, as there's still more content to be added before we can take a brief hiatus). Actually, that's a misleading statement... we haven't been working on the site continuously for two years. We've been working on it sporadically, in brief spurts of intense activity separated by long periods of sitting around talking about it over a pint or two, or just getting preoccupied with other minor things like having lives. But I have to say I'm glad it's finally up and running, since I was beginning to worry that it would never see the light of day... even if Witchking is a slavedriver who cares nothing for my addiction to message boards and computer games. Anyway, when you get the chance please check out the new site and
let us know what you think. I would especially appreciate it if you would notify me of any problems you have accessing the site, as well as any errors you might find. And for those of you who have been waiting patiently for me to update my
homepage, I apologize. I'll start working on that just as soon as I finish uploading the rest of Scatha's
Black Speech lessons; yet another task of mine which is long overdue. Oh, and speaking of Scatha, the new forum at
Morgoth's Lair will be opening soon. For those of you who may be unaware, it is a forum for the discussion of Tolkien's works on a chapter by chapter basis. I will be one of the moderators (as The Black Lieutenant), so I hope you will participate in this exciting new project once it starts.
