Yeah, Edhellond has been dead for quite some time. Most of the members have fallen out of the fandom, and those who haven't have shifted their activities to more popular places. I mostly use the Files section now to post my stuff and sometimes I make announcements, so that Dís, who isn't often around LJ, can keep up with any updates.

You should concentrate on getting better first and getting your life onto the path you want it to follow. Stories and discussions can wait. But if you wish to discuss the palantírs on the list, I'd gladly do it with you. :)
