Oooh, excellent! Sums it all up painfully and sharply. All poor Faramir has left of his father is the taste of ash...Brrr.

Author Reply: Raksha! how did I miss this review? Notice never came to my mailbox! I'm glad you like this one. It's one of my favorites. Also its a drabble of part of chapter 12 of Free Fall. Look at that, I drabble my own fics! Lindorien

Thank you! I love it! A lovely bit of naughtiness!

Once again you have mastered fitting much in few words.
It is Barliman, right? Am I completely wrong?
Umm, and about The Summary Versian of the LOTR, shall it be very soon?

Author Reply: DING DING DING DING DING!!

Yes - its Barliman, and Frodo and Gandalf. Barliman forgot the letter Gandalf entrusted to him and Frodo took his own sweet time about setting off, narrowly avoiding ending the story before it truly began.

Hmmmm...Makes me wonder if I should write the Somewhat Short Version of the LOTR in which Frodo takes a last potty break before leaving and stops to comb his hair, thereby losing that fifteen minutes and giving Mr. Ringwraith time to nab him and the ring.

TILT - GAME OVER.

Yessss, Massster. Council of Elrond. We wantsss it precioussss.

I might be slow, but I am finally getting the point of drabbels, thank you, Lindorien! I loved Dragons best, especially the last two lines. Condensed poetry.

As for the others, beats me why your brand of humor should get people´s back up, as one of your reviewers said.

Author Reply: I like Dragons best also. It was my very first drabble. I just seemed to clue into them. I only do them on occasion though, and I tend lately to do them in verse.

I don't see why it is my brand of humor should get people's back's up, either. But I find that it is only those that lack a sense of one that have the problem. They take my humor seriously and therein lies the problem. They understand not when I am only pulling their legs.

I now issue warnings ahead of time - Caution: Leg Pulling ahead.

Things have quieted since then.

These were nicely done. I especially liked the one about Pippin in front of the Black Gate. Poor Pip, he had no idea what he was getting in to. At least he had a happy ending (mostly).

Author Reply: Yes, Poor Pip, all alone out there. How very brave of him though. It was always there, that quality. It simply awaited it's moment to shine.

I inspired something? Hurrah! Nuzgűl of the fangy version are best, but I'll settle for posting drabbles.

I love the last drabble, and the idea that Denethor still holds their younger selves captive. I'd like to see Éowyn take him on for Faramir. Using the line from the book at the end of Desolate also worked well, especially as I'd just read that part of FotR.

Still waiting though...

Ps. I love your sense of humour, even if it does get some people's backs up!

Author Reply: I could drabble those final two acts of Hamlet...would that work? I'll call it Flash Shakespeare.

I'm glad somebody likes my sense of humor. It's the only one I have, and I'd surely hate to give it up.

Thanks, I love Dragons the best also.

Yeah! Expansion! Overwhelmingly, you fit a lot into few words. My favorites are ‘Of the Coming of Men into the West’ and ‘The Stewards – Appendix A’.

Author Reply: Thank you, Kitt! I'm so glad you read the new ones. They are interspersed with the old ones, so I worried that people wouldn't find them.

I had a lot of fun with the Silm one because I am horribly elf-impaired. Somehow dear Sphinx coerced...er....convinced me to take a chapter and I sweated over it for months. Then, in a blast of inspiration, I managed that.

So thanks so much for enjoying these.

This was so sad. The corners of my eyes are burning.
You packed so much emotion and thought into few words. Simply lovely.


Author Reply: Thank you Kitt. I must admit of the ones posted here, this one is my personal favorite. I'm pleased it spoke to you. Lindorien

"Before me are our young selves, standing in our smallness, until our father should release us."

Most evocative of the whole broken world of Boromir and Faramir. This line is also completely overwhelming in its sadness.

Author Reply: I'm so excited somebody left a review for this! This is my very first drabble ever, and it was so very sad to write it.

Have we established that I hate Denethor? Stupid piece of crocodile droppings. You do have a nice touch with Faramir. Makes me want strangle his father even more.

Author Reply: I did this one quite a while ago, but after the Flying Flaming Fireball of Death routine in the recent flick, I felt compelled to put this out there.
Yesss. Preciousss. Thou hatest Denethor. Got it. Hmmm...you may not care for my Denethor fic if I ever gets arounds to writin' it. Don't strangle Faramir's dad, hasn't PJ made him suffer enough?
