Hall Of Fire - The Times Are A-Changin'!
Demosthenes @ 7:01 am EST

We've been running two Hall of Fire sessions on the TORn IRC server each weekend for a couple of years now. It's been extremely successful and we've had some wonderful chats, but it's time to shake things up a little.

As of this weekend, we'll be trialling one session each weekend for the next four weeks. However, we will be spreading one topic across two weekends.

We hope this may allow people who would otherwise miss out on a particular topic one weekend to come along on the next weekend. It also helps conserve our dwindling moderator resources.

At this point, the times themselves will not change.

Anyway, because that explanation is probably a little confusing, here's some upcoming topics to give you an idea of how things will work out ...

Upcoming topics:

Saturday, Feb. 26 and Sunday, Mar. 6:
"Stories never told: If it had been possible what further books or tales would you have liked JRR Tolkien to write?"

Saturday Mar 12 and Sunday, Mar. 20:
"Silmarillion Chapter. 7 - Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor"

Hope to see you there!
