| Hello there, just skimming through your story. It's beautiful, I'm very much looking forward to reading it. But there has something gone wrong with parts of the text, have a look at chapter 17 and 20 - beware of the names of the Valar, SoA does not like them, it seems -. If I am premature, I'm sorry, I have never before raced an author in skimming while she is still uploading. :-) Author Reply: Thanks. Think it is taken care of now. And it was because folks were already skimming the story that I worked so hard to get it posted tonight. Glad you have enjoyed it. | |

| I love the voices you've given the characters. I love Frodo's figuring out why the plants aren't thriving, and then helping Sam by letting him figure it out. BTW, read somewhere that the flowers Americans call "nasturtium" are called "nasturtian" in England. There is such a thing as a "nasturtium" but I forget what it is. | |

| O yes. I remember this now. I reviewed it over at ff.net; at least I think I did. Sometimes I've written reviews over there and they've not posted properly. Glad to see this over here, and I hope you get a number of thoughtful responses. | |

| A very thought-provoking preface. Mostly canon, eh? I must admit that those are the stories I seek out, even while confessing to having a few AUs on my shelves (and yet, sticking as closely as possible to canon; such a challenge!). I'm with you on dates. I know that they are used in fanfic, but they always give me pause as I scratch my head and try to figure out from the context just what season it is. It gets in the way of my enjoyment of the story. I suppose if JRRT had used "Afterlithe" and some of the other less recognisable names (I have finally learned to use Highday in context!) I would make more of an effort. Thanks for the nod. I recognise your name, I think, as a recent reviewer on ff.net, where reviews have all but dried up completely, and so I thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, as well. Dedicated to your mother, with an interesting mention of bugs in the body of the preface. I'd imagine there's a story there. I dedicated my first major story to the memory of a brother. I sympathise with you on your loss. Author Reply: Grow up surrounded by woods, fields, water of all sorts, and country, and you get acquainted with all kinds of bugs and creatures. Water creatures were always my favorite. Could have put diatoms and fairy shrimp in, too, but didn't! | |
