| Poor Faramir! His wife still seems to be in love with the King, his dad is dead, and who knows what else. I'm enjoying this, and like everybody else I look forward to the ghost of Denethor. I'll add Hamlet to my reading list. Author Reply: As is typical of Shakespeare the plot shall only become increasingly more convoluted as I dig myself in even deeper and deeper. Oops! I mean as the CHARACTERS dig themselves in, even deeper and deeper. Do add Hamlet to your reading list. You won't regret it. Lindorien | |

| I await dead Denethor:) Do keep at this. It is good:) Author Reply: I await dead Denethor also. If you see him - kick him over my way, will you? That's the problem with ghosts, they are so damned unreliable. Lindorien | |

| *Scribe stumbles as Kaladriel, the Elf-Witch of the South, shoves her center stage. Recovers gracefully and glares at Kaladriel.* "Ahem, my noble and well-connected liege Thranduil Oropherion, king of all Eryn Lasgalen, wishes me to announced that: He now knows why Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. Aragorn's dialogue killed them. He urges all in the audience to remain calm and in their assigned seats. He is sure that, if this baby continues thus, he will be able to negotiate an exchange of our tickets for the Exotic Dancer Review that will be appearing at this theater next week. He also requests that we refrain from throwing tomatoes or corn (er, maize) as he is not sure either existed in Middle-Earth. Thus, shall all continue to call him the Mighty and Merciful Thranduil!" *Bows low to audience and passes the disgusted Mablung in her exit.* "Hist! Mablung! Meet us at the Drunken Elleth tavern after this verkakkte show. The King is buying!" Humble Scribe to his Majesty Thranduil Author Reply: Why is it, dear Dottir, that the best thing about my fics are my reviews? Now shall I wallow in despair like my dear depressed Danish Gondorian. Scene III is in my head and may even get on paper tomorrow. Faramir meets up with dear dead and departed Denethor. He gloats. Oh well. The crowd can throw politically correct and approved Middle-Earth vegetables at Aragorn, as I left him alone on that stage for a reason. Humble Bard of Gondor | |

| Well, you can always make me laugh, Lindorien. Excuse me, I think I shall skitter off and with a bare bodkin my own quietus make. Exeunt Scribe hauling Kaladriel the Elf Witch of the South by her dyed tresses Author Reply: Elves have no need to dye their tresses - those tresses are long and luxuriant and always of color youthful. Grandma always said: Keep 'em laughing. Keep 'em crying. Keeps 'em from finding the tar and feathers. Lindorien | |

| Um, just remember not to let him kill Denethor while he is at prayer. One way ticket to heaven as I recall. Do not want to meet Denethor there. Humble Scribe to his Majesty Thranduil Author Reply: Thou readest my mind, fair Scribe. Am now hard at work on Act I - Scene II. It shall be up anon, for good or ill - likely ill. weak-STRONG, weak-STRONG, weak-STRONG, weak-STRONG, weak-STRONG. argh. Lindorien | |

| it is sooooooooooooo nice to come home from a week long school trip and laugh my ass off......... Author Reply: Alas! Fair Runaround! Wouldst thou could laugh my ample ass off. That be an impossible task. I feel scene II coming on. I think Faramir gets to talk to dear dead dad. I'm not certain. I have to start thinking: ta-DUH, ta-DUH, ta-DUH, ta-DUH, ta-DUH. It gets tedious. When I post it, please tell me if you like it. This one, I fear, is going to take a LOT of encouragement. Lindorien | |

| Laughing. Now I'm gonna have to go and re-read the original forsooth, not something I'd voluntarily do, on a normal day. What ho! Author Reply: I was forced to re-read the original to write this thing, why should you be let off the hook? You do understand that this is not something I'd voluntarily write on a normal day, do you not? As I don't have many normal days, there is good chance I shall finish it. I'm gonna make my version a whole lot shorter than the Bard's. Lindorien | |

| Hmmm, LOTR meets Hamlet? Interesting... I've never actually read Hamlet, but I know the basic plot line. I'm curious to see were this will end up. One thing - you should probably tack on something about Shakespeare to the standard disclaimer. Author Reply: Thanks for reading, Squirrel! This is likely to end up badly with lots of bodies littering the stage. I added the disclaimer about Shakespeare, though there be little chance anybody shall mistake me for him. I do believe that his works now fall within the public domain. And go read Hamlet! It's wonderful! And tragic, unfortunately. The story of a man caught between himself and a hard place. Lindorien | |
