Got you down. If we ever get any interest in dissecting, I may have to ask those of you with multiple chapters to give something up.

Chap 2: Nightfall, please.

Just as lurch dissected the first chapter of AATE and I did the second, so shall it be for TLD.

Tradition!

Yes,,okay..I've finished my dissect of Chapter 1. I am ready for another chapter to dissect,,yet..I am reminded of Woody Allen's quip,",A joke dissected , dies on the operating table"...I am not saying TLD or The Last Chrons are a joke, even tho on 2nd and 3rd read,,more little jokes seem to be springing out of the works everywhere.
I Am Saying...dissecting brings discovery and at end of dissecting, especially waiting for the feed back and interchange of the dissect,,can be deathly..or somewhat less than the fun of discovery.

So c'mon gang. Take a chance with a re read and a dissect . There is fun in discovering something new.

[quote="Frostheart"]While Effy may have gone rampant with the culmination of the chrons, why would you pick a chapter you're not interested in when so many choices remain?

[quote]

I realize with the "wink" emoticon that you're teasing, but I'll give an answer, anyway.

It's because I'm a relative "newbie" who doesn't want to step on anybody's toes, so to speak, by taking a chapter they had hoped to get (I'm willing to bet "The Aid Of The Feroce" is nobody's favorite chapter). Plus, Frosty, if I do a lousy job, I can always blame it on the source material (I'm kidding, of course. I'll try to do my best, and I think I'm on record as being a fan of The Last Dark--or I am now, anyway.)

Eeh, judging by the reviews you've done in the other forum, wouldn't worry about 'a lousy job'.

Besides, everyone does these with their own style. I was a 'relative newbie' when I did my first dissection, and the worst two chapter hoarders here *cough* aren't even native English speakers.

Chapter 5 is a real masterful work,,,I can't believe a SRD fan has not stepped forward to dissect that hum dinger..Therefore, I request to dissect Chapter 5 of Part ONE..." Coming"....unless there is a volunteer without an assignment who wants to cover it...

So cease lurching and post it.

ahem...while we may end up being a bit more freeform about it this time, for prior dissection cycles, the mod has set a schedule of expected dates, allowing a few weeks between chapters for discussion of the current chapter dissection before the next is posted.

dlb has not yet done that, nor said "Go!"...and I surely am more than a few weeks from being ready to provide my dissection of the second chapter. If lurch does as Frosty asks and posts his now, the wait for mine will seem quite long.

Didn't someone once suggest giving me a Watchy for being "the most impatient of the lot"?

Post by **Savor Dam** » Thu Dec 26, 2013 8:23 pm

They have now...

Post by **lurch** » Thu Dec 26, 2013 10:10 pm

yes, after new years is the expectation, and befitting to the story. I'm always adjusting as new thoughts emerge anyway so the time isn't being fretted away. The dissect may already be a two poster. How many characters are we allowed per post?

Post by **dlbpharmd** » Mon Dec 30, 2013 8:27 pm

I'd like to have all chapters assigned before laying out a timeline and starting the dissections. With the lackluster response to this project, we could be waiting a while.

Post by **kevinswatch** » Thu Jan 02, 2014 3:34 pm

No promises, but if I have time, and you all are willing, I may like to do a short writeup of Part 1, Chapter 4, only because it's awesome.

We have that chapter assigned, but I'll let you know if something comes up.

Post by **Linna Heartbooger** » Tue Jan 07, 2014 5:01 pm

Would to take a chapter or two.
I'm not choosing which one yet: only finished the first 7 chapters so far. Sorry bout that.

Has everybody been mailing peeps who've done previous dissections and who they've enjoyed having discussions with?
I'm kind of excited about this.
