Changing the Past  by Misty 4 Review(s)

Oh, I like how you've listed the chapters here keeping track of which is who! great idea! And a great story so far! I'm caught up and looking forward to more! I am very interested to see how this all comes to completion and finding out just WHO sent them back to begin with and why!



Author Reply: Yes, I decided it would really help people keep track of things better. I should rename the chapters on ff.net to match. I'm glad you're enjoying it. I do at least have most of the rest of the story planned out, while playing with a few details along the way. :) It will all be told...eventually. *eg*

I like this chapter a lot. It was a great treat to see Bilbo and Thorin and Company again. The television show The Hobbit was one of my favorites when
I was little and this chapter reminded me of it.

I hope you'll let Fili and Kili live.

Author Reply: I'm glad you liked it. I knew I would have to cover the events of the Hobbit, but without Aragorn/Eradan changing anything enough to interfere with Bilbo finding the Ring. That was a careful line to walk, both as a writer and for the characters. As for Fili and Kili, I haven't decided yet. I'll probably mention their fate in the next chapter dealing with Aragorn's storyline. (As long as it fits in with the rest of the chapter.)

Ha, I knew that Elrond would figure it out sooner or later. It is good that Aragorn did not go with taking the ring to mordor himself. Very tough knowing what is going to happen, and not changing things.

Author Reply: Yes, I figure Elrond had been watching him for awhile, and just decided the time was right to confront him about all the odd things he had noticed. It wasn't until he knew that Elrohir and Gandalf knew the secret that he thought he could trust Eradan even if he didn't know the secret himself. And no matter how much Aragorn wanted to destroy the Ring and spare people he loved, he finally decided that it would be far too risky. His life in this time is a very difficult one, indeed.

This just gets better and better. The foresight that convinced Aragorn to let events unfold as in the original was frighteningly convincing and very well done, as were the further revelations to Elrohir. Your handling of this very complex scenario is riveting. Can't wait for more - and beginning to get very curious about Arwen's arrival!

Author Reply: Thanks. The foresight/nightmare had to be extreme enough to convince Aragorn not to attempt to destroy the Ring himself. I'm glad it came off well. And the further revelations to Elrohir were largely Elrohir's idea. lol I didn't plan to write it that way, it was one of those scenes that just wrote itself. As for Arwen... well, I do have plans for that storyline. *eg*
