I think I work better with two chapters at a time. How about I take 1 and 2 and have it up by Saturday? :P

Heh...ready to roll, huh?

I was planning on waiting until after Labor Day to start. And, yes, you can take one and two, but shouldn't we space out the revealing of each one?

I would also like to have all of the chapters assigned before we start, if at all possible.

After Labor Day?? Why wait so long?

Heh...

I originally suggested we wait until mid-September, as I thought DH and movie talk would still be occupying our thoughts.

However, I really do want to have all of the chapters assigned before we begin, and I suspect it may take a while before that happens.

OK, what if I just do one and give up two and then claim six and fourteen too?

I gave you five and sixteen, Seafoam. Lots of meat to chew in both! LMK if you want a change.

Still nine chapters available, and I know Jenn is chomping at the bit to share her chapter one dissection.

Come One, Come All!!!

Ok guys, I'm disappointed more haven't signed up to do dissections, but perhaps as we get rolling more will join in. Jenn, are you willing to take on one more chapter, and do chapter two as well? If so, when do you want to submit chapter one? Then two would be due a week later...

I really didn't want to do this, as I am hesitant to post any formal writing anyway and I have never taken part in a dissection, but I'll take on two chapters and just hope y'all don't laugh at my initial attempts.

I'll sign up for...hmm...Chapters 4 and 9.

Unless someone steps up and says they really want one or the other.

Can I see how it goes before I volunteer? I've um, never, um, :oops: , dissected anything in my life and not sure I'd be up to it/have the time to do it properly.

Sadly, my copy of the first book was accidentally destroyed. Let me see about getting a new copy and I'll sign up.

:biggrin:

Thanks guys...

*nodding*

Stoney I feel the exact same way. I am hoping by the time the fourth chapter comes up, which would be at least a month away, I'll have an idea what's expected.

Zahir, I need to get another copy of PS/SS as well. We only had a well loved paperback that I read to Beorn a chapter a night as his bedtime story starting when he was in kindergarten. It fell apart long ago...

Okay, I'll have a new copy of Book One this week. I'll start with Chapter Three "Letters from No One" and get it ready ASAP.

Thanks Zahir!

In order to give birdy's chapter 2 dissection time to be discussed, please hold off on posting chapter 3's until 9/23.
