Let Sleeping Dogs Lie  by Lindelea 3 Review(s)
DADGADReviewed Chapter: 18 on 3/26/2024
Oh, such a lot going on all at the same time in this chapter. Horses, soldiers, Hobbits, dogs! Is everyone going to bump into each other on the 6th circle? Can't wait for next chapter!

Author Reply: I know! It's hard to keep track of so many threads and so many bodies, even though they all seem to be converging on the same spot. Or most of them, anyhow.

Thanks for reading and stopping to leave a good word.

Gandalf's evaluation of Faramir was all too accurate. Now--to forstall disaster!

Author Reply: I was thinking of Gandalf's description of Faramir as I fleshed out the chapter from the outline, actually. You hit the nail on the head.

The next chapter is lovely, if I do say so myself. I'm halfway through turning the draft into a finished chapter. Even though it may run long, I don't need to split it in half to upload it - not like the old days of dial-up, when I started posting fanfic and had to limit chapters to 2k words or so to be able to upload them. (Immersing myself in fanfic is helping me keep the grief at arm's length for the moment. I've fallen apart at various points today, clearing away Panda's toys and treats and bowls and bagging up things to donate to the Humane Society, even just opening the freezer to get ice for my drinking water. She always came running when she heard me rattling around in the ice bin; ice cubes were among her favorite treats...)

Thanks.

As a drowning man who has fought his way to the surface of the raging waters

That's a marvelous description of Faramir!

Author Reply: Faramir is formidable when determined. He seems so mild-spoken, and yet...

Thanks for stopping and leaving a good word.
