Excedingly well written. Am enjoying it immensely.

Branwyn: Please park yourself in your writing chair, with your lucky writing hat and socks on, and lots of tasty caffeine or golden beverages, and a goodly supply of fortifying snacks, and don't move until this is finished!

I will do my best to hurry, but I write really sloooowwwly (and then there are the many, much-needed rewrites....). I started on Chapter One back in the middle of February. But now I know the problem--I do not possess a lucky writing hat! With so many of the characters in this story carrying around sharp pieces of steel, I do feel a little uneasy about drinking and writing--someone might get hurt. However, I did just pour myself a nice cuppa coffee, so that should help. With luck, Chapter 9 will be out there before the last week of August. Thanks for writing, and I am glad you like the story. Regards, Branwyn

Yay! They're doing OK so far. I fervently hope that everyone you've introduced us to will survive.

I like Boromir's determination not to leave the wounded man.

Yes, Anborn has been out in the woods with the orcs just a LITTLE too long. Please don't think I am implying that all rangers would act similarly; however, I do think there would be a few rangers like him. It would be difficult to fight such a ruthless foe without becoming equally ruthless. This man has gone over the line from being a soldier to being a partisan; at this point in time, he is following his own set of rules. It could be argued that he is acting correctly (and mercifully), but I don't think so and Boromir doesn't think so.

You are writing a great tale! In this chapter, just as I think you are going to wrap things up, events turn for the worse again and you ratchet up the tension level. I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

Hooray! A new chapter. Loved the fight scenes, the plot thickens, and poor Faramir is in peril - if the orcs don't get him, the fever might.
