| What a great idea that Frodo had an editor and how startling it must have been to read of Gandalf's fall. Author Reply: Lindelea was the first to indicate that Freddie might have served Frodo in this capacity, and it's a joy to follow her lead in this. But the tale of the battle of the Bridge of Khazad-dum is definitely one of the grimmest episodes in the entire epic! Thanks so, Linda! | |

| ... and Fredegar Bolger found himself crying out, “No!” along with Frodo as Gandalf fell. That is what many other readers did, too, I'm quite sure! But after I had read that passage for the very first time, I had somehow the feeling that this could not be the end of Gandalf. It turned out to be right. On the other hand I was completely sure (like Sam) that Shelob had killed Frodo. There I was luckily wrong! Author Reply: I remember feeling devastated when Gandalf fell, as if I'd just lost my favorite teacher and friend! When he reappeared among the eaves of Fangorn Forest I was as surprised and awed as Aragorn and Legolas, I think. But I was certain that somehow that was not the end of Frodo, and I was glad to find I was right! Heh! Thanks so, Andrea! | |

| This was great! I would love to see it continued. Pretty please with mushrooms on it? :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Actually, the idea was originally Lindelea's that Fatty served as Frodo's 'beta reader.' And again, perhaps it will be continued on one day--you never know! Heh! | |
