| Yes, PJ missed out on that one. To have left out Tom Bombadil and Imrahil was a grief, I've always felt. Poor Faramir frightened himself? Poor lad! Author Reply: I'm there in regard to Imrahil! I liked doing him so much in this chapter that I gave him a significant role in getting Faramir and Eowyn together, much later in "Avoidance." I hope to do lots more with Imrahil in future stories. - Steff | |

| Aw, poor Faramir. I'm not surprised that he found it a bit difficult to eat, between the pain of his wound and the knowledge that Daddy Dearest burnt himself to a crisp and did his best to also immolate Faramir as an expression of love. Faramir really needs a distraction - say, a shapely blond distraction. In the meantime, he's right to start looking to the needs of the living, the other wounded men, future Stewardship, etc. I liked young Hyer's enthusiasm for meeting Faramir. Imrahil was wonderful; especially his reminding Faramir to take some care of his appearance. More soon, I hope. Author Reply: Thanks, Raksha. Glad you like Imrahil. If i ever finish Avoidance, I have some plot bunnies to pursue, involving ol' Im and his family. Imrahil is too cool for me to leave as a minor character. - Steff | |

| I love your story, actually I love everything about it, and I can't wait for your next update. :) Author Reply: Hi Elanor - Great to see you here and thanks for the good words. I'm almost finished with the next chapter so keep your fingers crossed. See you on TORC. - Steff | |

| Thank you for bringing in Prince Imrahil. And remembering the raven hair as well! I too am very fond the him, and have always been deeply moved by his love for his nephew Faramir. I am interested in the way you carry the movie verse back to canon, although I also find it quite disconcerting. (For I know the books well, and the movies seem more like hearsay that has become confused and muddled.) I look forward to the continuation of your story, expecailly with the promise of the return of Imrahil! Thank you. Author Reply: Hi Ithilrande - Thanks for peaking in. I'm a huge fan of Tolkien, too, as you can imagine, and in fact, am reading LOTR for time six (I think :) ) prior to going to the Tolkien 2005 event in Birmingham, UK. I loved the films, personally, though like most book-firsters, I have my issues with various aspects of the adaptation. I can understand how you can feel disconcerted by "Avoidance," even by small moments of book/film combining, such as when raven haired Imrahil kisses his wounded nephew on the brow and calls him "Red." My faithful Beta reviewer is a well-known author here and she sometimes has to remember that I'm doing Movieverse. I appreciate that you are following along and beg you to think my story as really the AU "Steffverse". And Imrahil is scheduled to show up later on, tentatively to help Faramir on affairs of the heart and most likely to give poor Faramir even more advice. Such an uncle :) . - Steff | |
