| Well, that's an interesting take on things - all the malice and hatred etc poured into the Ring and then when it's gone all the malice is gone and the former goodness returns. Sauron's forgiven - wonderful, "the poster child of Divine Mercy" as it were and he's truly sorry this time. I love that part. The queen recommended this highly and I am finally getting to it. Should be an interesting journey for both Sauron and Frodo. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Sauron is far from forgiven by the vast majority of Middle-earth, but he does plan to make amends for what he has done as best he can. Thanks for giving this odd little fic a try! I hope you enjoy it! | |

| Sauron the Good, eh? And the idea of getting Frodo to cooperate does sound awfully iffy. Okay--let's see what happens next.... Author Reply: This story is a stretch of the imagination. Thanks for giving it a go! And trying to convince the hobbits to come along for the adventure won't go exactly as they are hoping - or fearing. | |

| I really like your story. Will you tell us how Rick and Sauron ended up travelling together? Since Sauron is Quenya for "Abhorred", wouldn't he change his name, at least when he's in private with Rick? Will you update soon, please? L. Author Reply: Thank you for reading Laurelin! I never intended to tell how Rick and Sauron first met, but I could work that story into a later chapter. As for Sauron's name, I think he'll be keeping it. He is still abhorred by much of Middle-earth after all, and I think he feels he has to own up to everything he's done connected to that name. Changing his name would feel like a cheat to him. And I rather see it as Scarlet's letter "A" and how it slowly comes to mean something different and more positive as the years go by. But you have given me an idea... I will be updating at least once a week, so as to give myself time to catch up with my LJ and to hopefully finish writing the story. It has come in bursts followed by long pauses, which is another reason I've waited so long to begin posting it here. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! Thank you again for reading! | |

| Definitely promising to be a good tale GF. And I love how Rick got his name! Author Reply: Rick was a very different character when I first concieved him for a parody I was writing at the time. I needed a joke, so I let Aragorn mistake "rick, cot and tree" for the name of someone who owed him money! I never expected Rick to actually take form, but he did and I'm very glad of it. He's been a hoot to work with. I hope you enjoy the rest of the tale! It will be quite different from anything I've written before, but I'm hoping it will be worth it. :) | |

| Oh, I'm glad you're posting this here! I've been wanting to read it for a while, and this will make it easier. Why do I see a similarity between Rick and Pippin? LOL! And the way you came up with his name is great! *G* No, Rick and Sauron do not have an easy task before them, no indeed. Frodo will not like this at all, and neither will Sam or his cousins if they hear (and I know at least one of them will). This has to be one of the strangest fics I've ever read, but I'm very intrigued! More soon, please! :) God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: I'm so glad you're finally reading it! And that you're enjoying it. :D Rick and Pippin? LOL He does ask a lot of questions, doesn't he? And his name was just a happy accident. I needed a joke for a parody I was writing at the time, and when Eowyn got to that line, I let Aragorn make the mistake of thinking she was talking about a person (who just happened to owe him money! lol) No easy task indeed. Getting into Hobbiton will be one thing, convincing Frodo and Sam will be another. I'll try my best to update at least once a week. That will allow for any lulls in inspiration I might have as I finish it at LJ. | |
