Thanks for the "feel goods" on the way I was doing it, and yes, there were times that I did a mid-week bumper post that brought in something that I thought had been missed.
- Anyone can do that, so perhaps I should publish the ping list so that if others like you come up with a conversation-starter of your own you could ping everyone to it.
I think for the most part everyone is just busy. But I lost my mood too after an incident with that one critic (remember?) - He took a lot of fun out of it for me for a while there... not sure why, I have dealt with other critics before. I think it was the magnitude. Wore me out.
The movie is coming! We need to get back on the ball, and perhaps cover a few chapters per week to finish in time! - Part of my trouble in participating is that I run out of stuff to say about a single chapter after a day or two... unless a controversy develops over something. So covering a few chapters does help me not blow my whole wad in the first post!
Re this and your other post soliciting input on the Green Dragon thread, I'm in, no matter the format, even if I don't post much. No preference on dates ... the only suggestion I have touches on what you wrote, above. If a format works to constrict conversation, I see no problem with broadening the subject matter, to go backwards, forwards, or stay on target. If folks hate spoilers, then posting Spoiler Alerts would be important, but I can tell you that not being able to range throughout the books has been difficult for me.
Hair, you've done a great job and I wouldn't want to try to substitute for you!
