| I love the - if you have a reported sighting of the ring-bearer. It would be hysterical to have these on our own private answering machines. Could you imagine the strange looks from family and friends - both having and not having seen the movie. Those who have seen it - she's obsessed again. Those who haven't seen it - what the hell??? Very entertaining - funny - hope you are going to have one individually for each of the other characters too. JULES | |

| Strange how I can see Thranduil on the phone! But I share his sentiment; Mirkwood really is an awful name, and if they've worked so hard to keep their region whole I think they would rather it bore its right name. Who keeps interrupting, by the way? :) Author Reply: Who keeps interrupting? Take your pick. At our house it's any number of people, including the dog. The telephone seems to be a magnet; whenever I pick it up, hordes of people materialise from nowhere and begin to insist they must talk to me immediately. | |

| I really liked this one. Very hilarious. Author Reply: Thanks, Miriel! Perhaps I ought to write one in Spanish so you can call this "homework". OTOH, it's hard enough to write in English. I cannot fathom the folk who are able to write in Elvish, however do they manage? | |

| Hah! This is my favorite one so far. :) Author Reply: Ummm, must admit I kowtowed to a few elf-cliches here. (Elves are distant, unapproachable, something like that). I dunno (scratching head). They really don't read all that unapproachable in "The Hobbit" which we are re-reading at the moment. | |

| "If you are a Ringwraith reporting transportation problems, press 5." Hee hee! Author Reply: Yes, I liked that touch. I can just imagine the flak they'd get, too. 'What? You lost your fell beast to an arrow that came out of nowhere? Tha'ts about as believable as losing your horse to the flood that came out of nowhere...' | |

| This set me to chuckling. My favorite is Galadriel probing the depths of one's soul. Very funny idea -- wish I had thought of it! Author Reply: What, not Tom Bombadil? O I forgot. Thanks for reviewing! Have to get back to HASA one day soon and see how that story is coming... you know, the Cliff Notes or whatever you call it. Wonderful, witty stuff! | |

| Would you sue me if I put this one on my answering machine? These are very, very funny. You have to do one for Taur E-Ndaedelos! Mental vision of the none too patient Thranduil having to install one because his brat of a son is off on some stupid quest and not there to pick up the phone. Author Reply: I won't sue, so long as the Tolkien foundation doesn't sue me! (If they do I'll be scrambling for cash...) I actually had a friend put one of these up as her away message, I forget which one it was, one of the first four, though. Thanks for asking. | |

| HA! What a whimsical idea! Sometimes these little weird incongruous ideas can be refreshing. | |
