| Hello Stefania, looking for your email adress I stumbled onto this delightful short story. Directly I read it, I was reminded of Brecht's Pirate Jenny - it's funny for I really loved to listen to that song as a child! Great idea to mix it up with Middle Earth and one of my favourite characters as well. Lia Author Reply: Hi Lia - Thanks for your review. Sorry it's so late. Yes, Pirate Jenny was certainly the inspiration for this story. I loved "Threepenny Opera" as a young teenager in the 1960s. I used to sing "Pirate Jenny" along with the record and wish I could play that part in the show. That never happened, of course, but it did inspire Pirate Lothy. - Steff | |

| Kevin Kline!?? ROTFLMAO!! I'd forgotten all about that production! With Angela Landsbury as Ruth, Linda Ronstadt and Rex Smith! LOL! (and yes, that cast list was from memory - I'm a theatre geek, theatre major, understudied Ruth once!) Cheers, Chibi-Kaz | |

| Ha! I half expected the Corsair to bear a resemblance to a certain Captain Sparrow... ;-p :-D These are much fun. I hope there are more. Cheers, Chibi-Kaz Author Reply: Hee Hee. I imagined him to be more like Kevin Kline in that ancient "Pirates of Penzance" movie, where he sings Gilbert and Sullivan's "I am the Pirate King." I love Captain Jack but I suspect a little girl's imaginery pirate hero would be a bit wholesome. And yes, I have a few more ficlets to move over from HA. - Steff | |

| A charming piece about an unusual girl! Lothiriel didn't grow up to be a corsair queen, but she did become Queen of Rohan, which is much better, of course. | |

| Heee! Clever Gothmog. Maybe he survived the Ring War and set up a fertilizer business in Rhun... | |

| Ack! Poor Faramir! And the twenty-one Rangers who thoughtfully dunked themselves into the water to spare Eowyn's modesty certainly got a treat, though they were probably too mortified to realize it. I have a feeling that family swimming days are going to become a custom in Ithilien.... | |

| Gondor is an equal opportunity employer - heeeee! And leave it to Faramir to bring up the language problem; he really would have made a great college professor. I don't think the Orcs could read Westron, and most of them probably couldn't read anything. And how many Gondorians could read or write the tongue of Mordor anyway? Very clever and innovatieve ficlet. | |

| A great little drabble - loved Galadriel's memories of Arwen's wedding. | |
