| Hi, thanks for letting me know the second chapter was up. I like it a lot. The poem was eerie. It's a very interesting story. I look forward to more. Sarah. | |

| This gets better and better. Very compelling and gripping plot, well written and the descriptions are perfect. The details -- waiting for the radiator to cool, in particular -- help to make the story seem very real. Now I'm just dying to see what happens next, and what other characters we'll see introduced. Your original character is very well done, but LOTR fics should always be ultimately about Tolkien's world, which usually means his characters, particularly in a story set after the time of Middle-earth. Thank you for another great chapter. I hope you continue! Lamiel Author Reply: Lamiel, Thanks for your patience and kind comments. The action between Gandalf and Sauron will heat up in later chapters. Chris too will evolve. He is a main character, but I think he will act more as a fulcrum later on. Since this is ME later in history, and not our earth, bringing in other characters that are not deities is possible, but I haven't worked that out yet. I'm still learning, and this story is young. | |

| Bell Falls? Belfalas! I love trying to figure out what all this stuff is. And I fervently hope that the man in the grey coat with the long white hair is Gandalf. I really like the sense of place that you give. Sometimes when reading a story, I feel that the descriptions of scenery are just pasted in, but yours really work to give the reader a sense of where we are in ME, which is fun as well as effective. Author Reply: daw, I always felt that scene was one of JRRT's strenghths. I'm not trying to copy, just hopefully create as vivid a world. Hope the details don't get too dull, though. | |

| Oh, the excitement grows! I am hoping the white bearded figure is Gandalf (not Santa Clause :D) - and clearly the Palantir is still showing some of what is happening in the world. Nice use of detail - very rich descriptions of the places and people. Author Reply: Nilmandra, Thanks for the comments, and yes (not to give it away ;)) but Gandalf does return. S is after all G's historic enemy. But hey, that's an intriguing idea. What if G never actually left ME, got fat, settled in Forachel (sp?), enslaved the remaining elves, and became Father Christmas? Naw...that'd be silly... | |
