| Do we know if Elessar was ever recognized as Thorongil? If so, in this version of the world, he was in for a rough time! Author Reply: You know, Daw...I dunno. I don't think there's anything in the appendices about it. Now then past the tomes themselves I don't delve. But I don't think there is anything in there about it one way or the other. Yikes! Aragorn, Estel, Thorongil, Strider, Longshanks, Elessar Telcontar, son of Arathorn. I've always wanted to write a song to do a two-step too using those name. Maybe for Through the Lorien-Glass. Yes, Aragorn is in for a rough time. I begin to think I should put a warning for Character Torture in my summary. Lindorien | |

| Wow Lindorien - four whole new lines of the third song! And then stopping just as it gets good! Why am I not surprised? Oh, and what is with Pippin's obssession with the soap? cheers, Maya Author Reply: Sam lost them the soap in the first chapter. Pippin keeps suggesting what else could have been brought along since Sam lost the damned soap anyway. Sam is not finding it amusing. I'm not surprised about not having more of that song up there...you seee...um...I haven't really actually WRITTEN it yet. Well, I wrote it, but it wasn't very good. I think I really have to make this one kinda, you know, more explicit. But, eventually, I can't keep hiding behind ludicrous scenes, the actual song of Captain Thorongil will HAVE to be written. I get myself into MORE messes doing stuff like this. Lindorien | |

| Wow, that's fast, here I beg, there it comes. You just made my day. Author Reply: Ever your satisfaction is closest to my heart, Imrahoil. One must nurture one's fans and treat them kindly, lest they go find some other author to berate and hound. So - have some chocolate because Chapter 5, while half done, may be a bit. The natives are getting restless and I'm actually going to have to come up with a PLOT soon. And, um, maybe even a SONG. A really really lusty song. | |

| Gimli has a death wish as well? Oh, that's why he joined the fellowhip. To put Pippin in the shade for putting his foot in his mourth is an achievement indeed. But what I like best is "Even an Elf can’t see with a cloak over his head", I feel made up for every time "What do your Elf eyes see?" made me squirm in the film. Thank you, Lindorien, and now tell us WCTD! Author Reply: Ah yes, those famous movie lines that haunt and inspire. Ah yes WWCTD? Hmmm...haven't decided. Murdering Boromir would be redundant since he cashes it in in a few chapters anyway...hmmm...but CT gets to dump Snickering Mithrandir in Moria. No doubt we have the REAL story behind the fight with the Balrog... | |

| Muwahahaha! this is raucous fun. Loving every chapter of the ranger's discomfort. Author Reply: Boy - this fic is bringing the, 'Let the Ranger Squirm' folks OUT OF THE CLOSET! Who'd a thunk it. Next chapter is more serious, however. This is a war, after all. But there's more fun later. Lindorien | |

| From “Very clever, Pippin." to the end, I laughed so hard I cried. More please. This is Aragorn torture of a diferrent kind. Author Reply: Lindorien hands AM a tissue. "Just don't blow snot on me, okay?" Yes - Aragorn-torture is one of my favorite fic types. Do you think I should have a warning in the summary? WARNING: Suggestive sexual content, Character Torture, Desire to Kill Other Character. Lindorien | |

| ah I so like this story, excuse me while get up of the floor, must have been laughing to hard. I love the songs. Gandalf sure does seem to be having a good time with this, So Faramir wrote this one too, does not look well for future dealing between and King and a Stewart. Liked that part about Gimli moving a little farther from the ranger, and a little closer to the elf. so looking forward to more Author Reply: Well, you gotta admit. To this group of men, Aragorn's apparent fear of hearing off-color poetry must be looking just a leetle bit strange. Next chapter is a tad more serious I'm afraid. I mean, it has to be. But then I'll give you a funny one later. Lindorien | |

| I was going to clip favourite lines. There were too many. The computer began to smoke. Perhaps it was simply thickening tendrils of fog, but methinks shan't take any such chance as having flames bloom forth from yon keyboard. (Ok, I know "yon" is not what I really want, as it is an antonym of "this" but "yon" sounds so much more archaic and "Tolkienesque"). And then you end with smacking Aragorn on the back and knocking him to the ground. I've been wanting to do that for some time now. (Why? Don't know, and Echo answereth not.) My only quibble would be calling the hobbit "young man" but then perhaps Boromir might be excused his ignorance, having known them previously only as Halflings in some dream after eating too many onions before bed. Read through some of the reviews. Now I have a vague itch nudging me to write the council of elrond from the vantage point of... well, that would give away the latest satire under foot. And where do I post the thing? So many of my satires have been booted from SoA... Author Reply: PLEASE PLEASE! Don't write Council of Elrond until I've a chance to. Baylor usurped me on my original idea - the cost of procrastination and I had to come up with an entirely new angle! So just stay cool until I get mine up, okay? As for knocking Aragorn to the ground. He deserves it. Wanders in the desert for 70 years or whatever then thinks he's gonna walk into Gondor and claim the crown. Sheesh! So like royalty!

| Good lord, it's a wonder Aragorn didn't just let Faramir die in the Houses of Healing, after finding out who wrote those songs! Evil woman. You've left us with another cliff-hanger. Aarrr! (What would Captain Thorongil do?) Maya Author Reply: WWCTD - My new motto. Boromir has lots of theories on that in the next chapter. Unfortunately, Aragorn has some damage control to deal with in the public houses. I've a feeling, he's going to become a tea-totaler once he gets married. Turn over a new leaf. That sort of thing. Cliff-hanger, yeah. This is kinda like 'The Perils of Pauline!' Lindorien | |

| Oh yeah, Faramir is so very much trouble when Aragorn finally catches up with him. Poor boy hasn't a clue as to how much. I'm happy to see Boromir is starting to get a clue that Gandalf and Aragorn are acting suspiciously :) Author Reply: Now then, What Would Aragorn Do? (WWAD) "Hi there, Faramir. I put up with your brother and 50 dirty ditties all the way from Imladris to Amon Hen?" Hmmm..I don't think so. I think Aragorn is going to keep it to himself. At least, his identity, anyway. But, we'll see. One never knows with legends. Lindorien | |
