Challenge Idea

[enterprikayak]

Darn doctors and their darn latin fluency.

[aadarshinah]

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but it should be Auribus Teneo Lupum... but, other than that, props on getting the ablative of means right.

[Distracted]

Well, I copied it from a web listing of latin mottos, so I can't take the credit or the blame.

[aadarshinah]

well, the word for ear is auris, auris, f., which declines as

auris aures
aurem aurium
auri auribus
auris aures
aure auribus

Which basically means, I've no idea where they got the e, only that it's wrong. *shrugs* nite

[Distracted]

Updaaaate!!

13. Amor est vitae essentia by panyasan, posted

15. Auribus Teneo Lupum by Distracted, submitted (and aadarshinah has a copy)
16. tba by aadarshinah

[Kotik]

Just a question. Is this the last round or are we continuing the story?

[Distracted]

I suppose that depends on what aadarshinah comes up with. I'm not sure how you want to end this now that you've introduced the pregnancy. I was thinking we'd end it soon, though.

[aadarshinah]

I am going to *try* to finish the story with my chappie. I don't have much written of it yet, so we'll see how it goes. But this will def be the last round either way.

[Kotik]

That's what I'm a tad worried about. We've got a lot of loose ends to tie up, so either the last chapters are going to be a bit on the longer side or it'll appear rushed, so I think we should discuss that beforehand.

I wouldn't be against another round, but looks like y'all prepared to end it. Do you think you can conclude it aadarshinah ?

[aadarshinah]

I might be able to... like I said, I've got only a little reason and a decent idea of how to do it. Even a chapter title picked out.... *drumroll* Ne Plus Ultra.... which litterally translated means nothing beyond this point and, a little more figurtively, means basically the highest example of something, as well as a place (or thing) which cannot be taken further. Writing it out like that makes it sound a bit pretentious, but, if I can't wrap it up, I'll end up changing the title...

Maybe someone could do an epilogue? To tie up whatever can't be managed? Just a one-or-two- page thing. Idk. we'll have to see.

[Enerdhil]

The final chapter was not supposed to be written by panyasam (end of this round)? As for the epilogue, it will depend on how the last round will cover the remaining (and newly inserted) topics. I had an idea for an epilogue, but I'm not sure it will fit the current trend.

[panyasan]

The final chapter was not supposed to be written by panyasam (end of this round)?

That's what I thought also, after the discussion about round three (this round) in this thread:

Then here's what we have so far for round three:

14: Kotik (?)
15: Distracted - confirmed
16: aadarshinah - confirmed
17: Enerdhil - confirmed, but willing to change places
18: Ginamr (?)
19: panyasan (?)

In this scenario, Enerdhil writes the chapter after aadarshinah, followe by Ginamr (I don't know if she confirmed writing chapter 18) and me (I did confirm). If that's changed, let me know.

[Kotik]

Let's get this cleared. who is yet to come? why where Enerdhil, Ginamr and Panyasan missing from the last update? I think if Aadarshinah 'closes' the story it'd be sort of unfair on the others, wouldn't it?

[aadarshinah]

...idk guys. I'm getting "end the story" from one end and "start closing it so that it can be ended soon" from another, and idk what the deal is. I can see the reasons for both, so... what do we want to do? Opinions - from everyone involved - before we come to a desision please.

[Kotik]

As far as I remember, it was earlier (couple pages back) stated that panyasan does the last chapter due to being last one in the round. I'm not aware of any changes in that plan. If either of the authors yet to come (Enerdhil, ginamr, panyasan) will opt out, please say so in time, but else I think we (hopefully) still have 4 chappies to look forward to
