Well, it already has a long enough intro. Keep in mind I wrote this intro June 2006, the second intro June 2005, and the actual material November 2002. Weird, huh?

So, as we begin the third chapter of this ever continuing saga, I must say I'm surprised at how many hits this thing gets. Sixty eight, wow, that's quite a few. Unfortunately, only two reviews. I actually found someone mentioning my fic on some MSN group, which I thought was cool. In other news, sorry for the delay. My summer's is suddenly busy, because I've gone from a previous amount of zero to now the grand total of two (somewhat sporadic) jobs. Not that I've really got an excuse, since I'm just reposting stuff. In fact, I forgot to do the find-and-replace sorcery but it'll resume after this chapter.
Finally, some gave me the new Harry Potter book and despite the fact that I now despise Harry Potter, you don't read four of the books to stop. And I just thought of apple-picking for some reason. Obviously, I'm bored, which means there might be some new material soon. Fun fun!

Day 6 Diary

Scenes 28, 29, 30, and 31, will be shot together, and edited into different sections of the movie (like a normal film). We should shoot it in real-time, but this is just enough cheapness to scrape by.

Orc: The roots are strong, m'lord…
