Thanks shadinah, this is an excellent intro and leaves lots of room for subsequent authors. I only hope I can find the time to try a follow up somewhere in this storyline.

Wow, I like that each chapter has a unique cadence and style, yet all fit together partly because Arnon is so mysterious.

Very nice, I like the change of pace too!

Thanks wsells.

I won't have time to continue polishing this and I don't want to hold up the show. So I published.

Now I see the typo in ifrost, word order problem with "prose, song and poem." I also know that many rhymes and rhythms could be improved. I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks
I'll try.

I'll publish this as soon as someone asks me to so as to not hold up the show. It feels like it isn't quite ready. Of course these things never are ready, are they? Let me know if you have any suggestions for changes before I publish. Thanks!

I'd like to follow yours if that's OK. This still needs a tuneup.

Sorry I was on vacation last week at the edge of earth. I like wolfram's and don't mind following with chapter 3 or having mine sit outside the project. I'll see if I can tune up mine to more closely follow Wolfram's, maybe abandon the reverse alphabet thing though it was a fun challenge.

I'd like to follow Nashvillebecker with chapter 3 on the first storyline.
