A fitting explanation for the inspiration for the Riddle of Aragorn. | |

This had me in tears. Poor Gandalf. There really is no good answer, is there? Author Reply: Hi, meckinock No indeed. And I bet that letter going astray in your story "In the Hands of the Enemy" was inspired by similar thoughts. Am I right? As for that broken sword...that'll have me scratching my head for the next 90 years. Perhaps it's best not to take too close a look at some of the other plot elements in LotR...

Oh this is so precious! I love this! THere are too few stories about Aragorn's family life in the 4th age! May you write many more! ^_^ Author Reply: My "Bedtime Nightmare" and Gwynnyd's "Pretending" (also at SoA, under her drabbles, I believe chapter 44) are sequels. Very glad you liked it. I'm sure more such stories will turn up as time goes on. | |

Gwynnyd wrote a lovely vignette about just that. See "Pretending" in her collection of drabbles (I believe it's chapter 44). Now you come to mention it, I remember that! Delicious. | |

There is nothing like a child for making sure that you do not take yourself too seriously! Excellent moment for the King of Gondor and Arnor to turn up. Author Reply: Any man who would name his House "Strider" has to have a pretty good sense of humor. I always figured Aragorn thought Denethor had a point about the "ragged house." | |

Now that, I'd like to see. Both Legolas standing in for practice - and the result of it! Author Reply: Gwynnyd wrote a lovely vignette about just that. See "Pretending" in her collection of drabbles (I believe it's chapter 44). | |

This is so true, Aragorn deserves many songs to be written about him ! Author Reply: This is a reference to the poem Bilbo wrote about Aragorn: All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. Just gave me a thought--maybe I ought to retitle it with a quote from this poem! Thanks for the inspiration. | |
