| "How fearsome They would be, if they rode upon winged creatures!" Famous last words. Author Reply: Oh that awful thing called foreshadowing! Perhaps it ought to be outlawed... | |

| [I try to imagine what it might be like, to be small and afraid, with larger creatures blundering past…] Yes, I guess the world holds many terrors for small creatures. :( [How fearsome They would be, if they rode upon winged creatures!] Nice foreshadowing! In the book, very little happens between Rivendell and Moria, so I am looking forward to finding out what you have done to fill the gap. Author Reply: I hope it works! There is so little description, and yet they were travelling miles and miles through pretty rough country! I'm sure it wasn't just monotonous put-one-foot-in-front-of-the-other trudging along for the whole time! (Of course, I've read so many gapfillers over the years, it's equally improbable that so many things happened along the way – but certainly fun to read!) I anticipated the same problem with the continuation, Bill's journey back to Bree. So I'll just have to see how well it sits with the reader when I finally start posting chapters. Hopefully, it won't stretch people's incredulity too much. Thanks for reading and taking the time to share your thoughts! | |

| Master strokes my face, and my Samwise pats my neck, and I am as content as I can be in such a place as this. More content than I would be, left behind, even in that most comfortable of stables, safe from wind and want. That's so lovely. Author Reply: Aw, thanks for the smile today. | |

| Love the foreshadowing of the Wraiths on Wings! And of course they've come to their first dead end. At least Bill knows which way to avoid so as not to fall back under the power of his Old Misery. And poor Shivering-Merry! Heh! Author Reply: Yes -- I thought it interesting that JRRT alluded to those dead ends (swamps and cliffs) even though he said Aragorn "knew... this land even in the dark". So apparently, though Aragorn knew the land, he didn't know every path, it seems. Lots of scope for the imagination here, more than I'd realized, simply looking at a list of how many miles the Fellowship (probably) covered each day in order to get from Rivendell to Hollin in two weeks. | |
