But he knew he would not stay in this liminal place for very long.

Beautiful, and beautifully done. "Liminal" is one of my favorite words. You've done it justice! Congratulations!

how sweet! *looks up 'liminal' in dictionary....'of or relating to a sensory threshold, barely perceptible* hmm, perhaps you can explain the title to me, but otherwise I think it is a beautiful artwork. very emotional and appropriately short. i like how you examined frodo's unselfishness, and his inner strength. something psycho is going on because i just wrote and published a fic 'Egg' exploring ROUGHLY the same thing, but in an entirely different way. well, excellent job as usual, and love your pen name. (i believe i already told you that, but it merits telling again.)

Author Reply: Heheh. Liminal is one of the new words I got from Merriam Webster online some time ago. I had a discussion with a Chloe Amethyst of ffnet and Live Journal, and she explained that it was a condition in which you are standing on both two places/condition. You are in some kind of a border. E.g. if you go to the church and you stand in the doorway, a part of you which is outside is in our world while the other part is in a more spiritual space.

Then I got an idea to write a fic based on Chloe's explanation. I thought there were some times in which Frodo was kinda standing in between two separate worlds.

Thank you for liking it. This was all I could get out of our talk.

'Egg'? *sighs* I must've missed it. I should've put an author alert for your fics for I don't wander too often here nor at ffnet anymore.

Hey! I've got so used to my penname I never thought anyone would get a thought for it. Yes. I was just so lucky. When I first entered my fic at ffnet, I was balnk on what name I should put. It should be about Frodo. Then, I remember hearing this name and when I searched in the net, I was so happy that it was actually Frodo's title. :) I was lucky no one had snatched it at that time.

Thank you, FB. Btw, aren't you tempted to have a Live Journal account? Or have you? *winks*
