I rather enjoyed this piece...and I know you will probably hate me for this but I thought the ending bit with it all being a dream was just a bit cliche.But then again the title IS " DREAMS and Reality" so I guess I have no room to speak..:)
I just wish that maybe it would of been played out as Frodo thought it was a dream then he discovers the what his TRUE reality (that of which him being possesed by Sauron)has transformed him into physically and mentally.

But seriously...I'm NOT trying to Flame!!!I DID enjoy your story.

keep up the great work.

Author Reply: Thank you. The original ending to this story was just that - what he dreamed was actually reality, but he didn't know it until he thought he was waking up from that dream in Bag End and discovered that being in Bag End was the dream and he was waking up in his cell, but I decided I just couldn't do that to him and we do know that the Ring gave him nightmares on the Quest so I chose that way instead. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

I think I read this before I was away, but must have forgotten to review! I was wondering what you were up to until the end. Poor Frodo to dream about being all alone in that room. And without even Sam! *tear* Very good story, dear!
God bless,
Ellie

Author Reply: Thank you so much! I'm glad I had you wondering, that was my intent to have people not know. If you can believe me, it was even more angsty as I originally wrote it, but then I thought I just couldn't do that to our poor dear.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Oh my! Oh wow! You had me really scared there for a while! The part about the prison (for that is what it was, unwilling as they all were for Frodo to be in it) made me cry. But then what a surprise ending! Only one of those horrible dreams that merge so naturally into waking that sometimes it takes one a little while to remember what's real and what isn't. This is one of your best yet! Very creative, my dear!
God bless,
Galadriel

Hey Antane You made me cry!lol
That was really a wonderful angst filled tale.
This IS one of best fanfictions that I've ever read.



I hope you don't mind me posting a link to this story on my myspace, but more LOTR angst fans need to read this.:)
*cheers and whistles*
YAY!Excellent job!



Thank you so much for writing this fanfiction.I kinda wished it didn't have to end....but we can't keep sweet lil Frodo all alone and sad forever can we?;)
Keep up the great work!!!!


lots of hobbity love,
~Katie

Author Reply: Thank you for all your kind words, Katie! I am honored that you would want to post my story elsewhere - no one's ever said that before! What is the address of your site so I can take a look at it? As far as keeping Frodo sad forever, no, indeed, can't have that!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

What an incredible story Antane! Your vivid descriptions and intricate storyline had me truly feeling all of Frodo's despair, hopelessness, and depression... WOW!! I have always thought that when a writer can evoke emotions in their audience...that the reader is "experiencing" a piece/story, rather than just merely reading it...well, that is indeed a sign of a great author! I love your ending twist too! You are truly a Master of Angst!! I have always adored Frodo, so the author's who have devote their time, and written any stories about him have my undying gratitude! I hope you carry on with this theme...I don't think I have read any of your works before...now I must rush off and look up any other stories you have written! Thank you so much for sharing this with us Antane!!...............Q

Author Reply: Wow - thank *you* so much for your very kind review! I love Frodo to death myself. I hope you enjoy my other works also, though not many have this depth of angst, but there's plenty to be found in varying degrees and tons of hobbity love throughout. :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane

Hey Antane! ooh, a new story :) I'll admit, for awhile I was like, what the heck is going on? is she really serious? then I was just concerned about Frodo ... and then the dreams part came in - OH! I see now! lol ...
anyways, lovely as always.
Keep them coming! :D

Author Reply: Hantanyel, swg! I am glad you enjoyed - and glad you were confused because I did want to make people wonder what was happening. The poor dear, just makes you love and admire him all the more because you already know he suffered from nightmares but he still went on. I wonder if this was one of them? *shivers* and *hugs him*

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

That was amazing Antane! What a horrid AU possibility, even if it was a dream. Wow. I loved your vivid descriptions, the light/dark, and to Whom they prayed... nice touch. I really enjoyed that. Thank you. :)

Author Reply: Thank you right back! Glad you enjoyed! :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane
