I love how you do this, Ellie--write about the parts from the book, but take time to put in a little more detail than Tolkien gave us. I hope I can master it as well as you have when I get a little further on in "Renewal".

More, more, please! :)
God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: I'm glad you're liking it! (these reviews are making me blush like Sam and I'm not sure what to say to them! *blushes*) Oh, I can't wait for more of "Renewal" I just read what I've missed so far, and I'm loving it so much! I'll try to get more out as soon as possible! I've got a few ideas that I think my muse is going to cooperate with, but I'm not sure yet.
Merry Christmas and God bless!

I have always wondered if Frodo ever really felt uncomfortable during the lay “Frodo of the Nine Fingers and the Ring of Doom.”

I mean I were him it would of irked me to the max. Plus he seems so shy already in this fic, and all these thing building up one on top of the other. (The waking up after a long hard journey, the orc clothes, the lay, and the swords bit)
I would think that that would eventually lead to mental distress in a person (or in this case, hobbit).
I mean he still needs to figure himself out and put him self back together, after his and Sam’s journey, and the events of that journey.

I REALLY enjoy you are touching this subject, and I love (lovelovelove) your Frodo POV! I know this is my 3rd time saying so but you are so good at it. This is the Frodo I usually envision at this point in the trilogy.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.



Lots of love
No galu govad gen

Looking forward to the next update

Author Reply: yeah, I would have been really uncomfortable, too. I'm so glad you are enjoying this! I'm having such fun writing it and getting to go back and reread RoTK over and over and over again. I'm so glad you like the Frodo POV (again! *grins*) It's my favorite way to write, since I've found Frodo thinks alot like me, so it's easier for me to write it that way.
God bless and merry Christmas!

Oh this is great seeing this from Frodo's POV. Tolkien said that the one complaint about his book that he agreed with was that it wasn't long enough. I am so glad that you are helping to remedy that.

Oh, and I agree about the stars being annoying. Most of us can recognise the Prof's bits or can go back to the book if we want to check!

Author Reply: *blushes* Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying this! Yeah, I figured most of you are about as obsessed as I am, and know when it's something Tolkien wrote. Lol! Antane said most people just say that some of the quotes are from such and such a chapter, so I decided to do that instead.
God bless and Merry Christmas!!

One of Tolkien's inconsistencies is that he describes Frodo as being naked under Sam's cloak, and yet he describes the orc rags. I can imagine he'd want those physical signs of that time gone.

Author Reply: Weird, I never noticed that... *runs to read Rotk again* I found this whole secion so fascinating! Yeah, I'd think he wouldn't want to see them ever again. Thanks for reviewing!
God bless,
Ellie

It's lovely to see an update. I like how you describe Frodo's relief at being in soft, clean clothing again.

(You might want to correct Westeron to 'Westron'.)

Author Reply: I'm glad you liked it! Ah yes, my spelling... I'm usually good at spelling... english that is. When it's new words or things in Elvish or fantasy names like that, I can't spell. *goes to change*
God bless and Merry Christmas!
