Ooops, poor Aragorn. I can just imagine all the songs that would have sprung up about the heroic Captain Thorongil.

And Faramir does the unexpected thing again! Though I do think he'll get around to asking more questions about Denethor later...

Pardon me if I squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee my heart out for this chapter! I just love it; Aragorn seeing what sets Faramir apart. Well, one of the things that sets Faramir apart. Aragorn probably wouldn't be melting over tall-lean-Numenorean/Gondorian-Scholar/Ranger-hotness the way I would.

Well, here I am, blaming you, as Lindorien told me to: DO you really have to distract her?! She's doing that one (being distracted) very well on her own, thankyouverymuch. She will never get a multiparter finished, if there are plots thrown at her at random! ;-) And now to something completely different. I do love your stories, every single one of them, but since YOU are sensible enough to write them without prompting you never got a review, shame on me, lucky you. Looking forward to read more (but not only drabbles, please) ...

Don't blame me! I distracted her ages ago. And this is not what I was trying to distract her into. Her distraction is supposed to be the actual tale!:)) Thanks for your lovely review:) I'm very glad you enjoy what I write... but whyever lucky me for not receving rveiews??? We lurvs reviews we does! We gathers them and hugs them and loves them very much. I will stop being inane now. Thank you once again! I will endeavour to not distract Lindorien again... but it does not look that easy!

hehe -- so a song recounting how badly Aragorn doesn't want to here about Captain Thorongil and the Corsairs. That sounds like a drinking song, you know. I so want you to put he'd for had in that penultimate sentence, but I know that would give you 99 words and not a hundred. If you shall tell me the story of Captain Thorongil and The Corsairs -- perhaps I could write a drinking song for him. If I put a fic around it I could enter it into the Pirates AND the drinking songs challenge. If I send him to a brothel - that's three challenges, If I give it a REALLY BAD opening line that four and if I make him just a little bit evil then that's FIVE challenges. Then do I get free passes to the movies? Lindorien - and yes - I liked it and yes - you must release your inner poet. This is Nol's doing - she is turning us into poet, one no-talent at a time. I am living proof. Hugs

*hug* I’m so glad you liked this. I personally think it represents my growing insanity. But yes, Nol has made us all aspire to be crummy poets and Nol must pay. You are cordially invited to write as many drinking songs as you like for as many challenges as you like. The tale of Throngil and the Corsairs is really quite simple. He burnt the boats in Pelargir, right? *shrugs* they disguised their own ship as an oliphaunt and pretended to be Haradrim oliphaunt traders on their way to Rohan, and became pally with the Corsair captains and got invited to the flagship (if any) for dinner and wine, and when they’d got them all drunk, they sneaked out and burnt the ships, and in the process almost burnt their own ship disguised as an oliphaunt floating in water (elephants are excellent swimmers, incidentally) Also, one of the Corsair captains was actually a Haradrim woman disguised a Corsair captain so T. got to charm her and all that. Seed of goodness in evil! H. woman?

Ah yes, 'Captain Thorongil and the Corsairs', almost as famous as 'Captain of Ithilien'. This is a good pairing, these two drabbles, although likely not the songs - although I suppose one COULD be inspired... Tell me, Acacea -- how do you write your drabbles? And could you explain to me in long and convoluted sentences using great big words I have to keep looking up in the dictionary? Pretty Please? Love, Lindorien

although I suppose one COULD be inspired... Really? One could? :) I'd explain, but if I tell you, I'm going to have to shoot you. Ahem... Aragorn's reaction. Yes, well, it involves him fainting when Faramir offers to take him to the tavern where the soldiers sing the song often. Author Reply: although I suppose one COULD be inspired... Really?

Lindorien · 6 March 2004 · Chapter 5: Of Songs and Heroes - Part I
Oh no, Miz Scarlett! I'm not writing me no drabbles. uh uh. These are just little sillies I have hanging about my computer. The computer I am always complaining about the blank word processing screen. The one that I moan and groan about how I can't think of anything to write. Now how disappointed am I that Boromir did not choose to sing "Captain of Ithilien'? This is very funny, Acacea! Is Aragorn's reaction the next one?
Author's reply
O.k. so this wasn't part of the scribbles:) It turned up this morning and despite massive brain-racking I am unable to deduce how. However, part of the blame lies with Nol for reminding me of Captain Planet. you see Borormir was to sing "Cap-tain Thor'n-gil, waasss a he-ro" Boromir does not sing Captain of Ithilien because thinking of Faramir makes the poor boy sad. You note how he breaks senetnce at Faramir earlier? *sniff*

then many thanks to Lady Wenham also. You are on a roll here, m'dear.
Author's reply
:)) Not really. Just drawing from unused ficbits:o So glad you liked. Thank you ever so much.
Lindorien · 3 March 2004 · Chapter 3: Conversation
And again, an unexpected ending. Very good, Acacea. Very good.
Author's reply
Hee. I did wonder if the ending wasn't a little corny, but it sort of stuck.:)
Lindorien · 3 March 2004 · Chapter 2: Shadow
Many thanks to Altariel for the suggestion, for this is likewise quite good. And the ending is unexpected.
Author's reply
:) I'm very glad you liked it. And the ending too. I've always been very fond of that part of the book. Changed it partly to present tense now, though.

Oooh, very nice. You write so beautifully!

Thanks for such lovely words, Shirebound. I'm very glad to hear you liked this!
Lindorien · 1 March 2004 · Chapter 1: Echo
Very nice! Where were you hiding this? Lindorien
Author's reply
In a file called Stuff that contains little passages like this which are unsure whether to become drabbles or ficlets:) I can't remember when I started it, but I managed to finish it today in a sudden fit of resolve:)) I'm very glad you liked it!
shirebound · 1 March 2004 · Chapter 1: Echo
This is an amazing drabble -- I've rarely seen so much said in such a short amount of words. Very nice!

Thanks Shirebound, for your lovely review:) I'm very glad you liked it!
