This has turned out a most enjoyable story.

I'm always pleased when a Round Robin comes out so cohesively!

I've been interested in the concept of a round robin ever since I first heard of it, but these are the very first ones I have actually seen. I was tempted to join the Silmarillion one, but an unfortunate experience with RP kept creeping upon my ideas. Anyway, the story turned out so nice! It was a really interesting read, a dynamic action story and how lovely that every character had a chance to shine.

Congratulations, all.

(PS, there's one time where it spells bear instead of boar.)

A Round Robin is a little different than role-play. Most RRs I've participated in, you just go in and add as little or as much as you want to the story, and someone else goes in and takes it from there. You don't have to "play" a character, as in RP.

I've been in several, and only about two or three didn't come out--and that was just because they fizzled out and did not get completed. The rest turned out pretty good.

My favorite longer one was one we did on the PippinHealer's yahoo!group. We did assign chapters for that one, but people just added what they wanted to in their chapter.

And of the various shorter ones, I really love this one! It came out very nicely, and hopefully it's hard to tell where one person left off and another started!

(Oh, and the Editor thanks you! Apparently I forgot to hit save changes on that one.)

What a great story! I couldn't really tell where there was a changeover. My favourite part definitely is Gandalf falling over. *snickers*

That part was Raksha's contribution; I loved the way it was a perfect tension-breaker in that part of the story.

I really liked the flow. It's great when something like this comes together.

This one came out really well!

I was quite pleased with how well each contribution moved the story forward.
