Um, just remember not to let him kill Denethor while he is at prayer. One way ticket to heaven as I recall. Do not want to meet Denethor there. Humble Scribe to his Majesty Thranduil

Thou readest my mind, fair Scribe. Am now hard at work on Act I - Scene II. It shall be up anon, for good or ill - likely ill. weak-STRONG, weak-STRONG, weak-STRONG, weak-STRONG, weak-STRONG. argh. Lindorien

it is sooooooooooooo nice to come home from a week long school trip and laugh my ass off.........

Author's reply

Alas! Fair Runaround! Wouldst thou could laugh my ample ass off. That be an impossible task. I feel scene II coming on. I think Faramir gets to talk to dear dead dad. I'm not certain. I have to start thinking: ta-DUH, ta-DUH, ta-DUH, ta-DUH, ta-DUH. It gets tedious. When I post it, please tell me if you like it. This one, I fear, is going to take a LOT of encouragement. Lindorien

Laughing. Now I'm gonna have to go and re-read the original forsooth, not something I'd voluntarily do, on a normal day. What ho!

Author's reply

I was forced to re-read the original to write this thing, why should you be let off the hook? You do understand that this is not something I'd voluntarily write on a normal day, do you not? As I don't have many normal days, there is good chance I shall finish it. I'm gonna make my version a whole lot shorter than the Bard's. Lindorien

Hmmm, LOTR meets Hamlet? Interesting... I've never actually read Hamlet, but I know the basic plot line. I'm curious to see were this will end up. One thing - you should probably tack on something about Shakespeare to the standard disclaimer.

Author's reply

Thanks for reading, Squirrel! This is likely to end up badly with lots of bodies littering the stage. I added the disclaimer about Shakespeare, though there be little chance anybody shall mistake me for him. I do believe that his works now fall within the public domain. And go read Hamlet! It's wonderful! And tragic, unfortunately. The story of a man caught between himself and a hard place. Lindorien
