Neat idea, and my hat is off to anyone who can use Sindarin so well, but there are a few grammatical flaws in the Translation: "you flow the earth with your anger", "from your voice come a river of blood", and "Trust you".

This is lovely - very old and Numenorean, with a feel for the traditions of that lost, sea-claimed island, and a wonderful twist with Anarion's bringing the elanor to Middle-earth (as his brother brings the White Tree).

Author's Response: Hello Raksha! I\'m glad you liked it, although with respect to the claim that wonderful twist with Anarion\'s bringing the elanor to Middle-earth (as his brother brings the White Tree), while I definitely wanted the comparison with Isildur, it wasn\'t my intention to suggest Anarion brought the elanor flower to M-e first of all. It\'s an import plant, so it can play the role of the ship-seed properly. One needs a seed from one\'s home mooring for the promise of a safe return. Thanks for your comments, Dwim

A gem of a story. The letter might well have been the last straw for Denethor. Excellent characterisation of Faramir.

Author's Response: Thank you, Raksha! I\'m glad you enjoyed it. Dwim

The language of Harad is Spanish?

Sorry, but you've totally lost me here. Spanish was not spoken in Middle-earth, anywhere. If you're going to write a story from a Southron point of view, which is certainly an interesting concept, at least try to make up something that sounds like one of the languages of the Near or Middle East...

Author's Response: lol, sorry, but just because Tolkien didn\'t yell out \"spanish is spoken in Middle-Earth\" doesn\'t mean it wasn\'t, we don\'t even know if English was. The common tongue could have been something completely different. I probably could at least try to do so, but I don\'t speak Middle-Eastern languages so that could be a problem...either that or I\'ll just have to cut the language.

Author's Response: Allright, I changed it to Filipino which sounds slightly more like something they spoke. I find it difficult to change to a middle-eastern language because mostly their alphabets are completely diff so even if I free translating and stuck it in my fic no one could understand it. lol. hope you are happy now ^_^

Lovely interlude, with our favorite Houses of Healing patients speeding their recovery with some late night cheer. Excellent handling of Faramir's budding fondness for Eowyn.

Author's Response: Thanks -- I really liked your Faramir and Cats story, \"Luck from the Ashes\". RS

Ooh; Faramir meets, falls for, and gets through to Eowyn. It's like the Irresistible Force meeting the Immovable Object. I love the bit abut her finally crying in his arms; she needed to unburden herself...

A sensitive and erotic vignette; I liked it.

the Multicultural Riders of Rohan?????

Oh dear, too funny; and sadly, too real.

I'm still trying to recover from the casting of Nathan Lane as Legolas' voice and Eddie Murphy as the voice of Gimli. Brrrr.

Author's Response: Yep; I\'m glad Disney never got a hold of LOTR.

Actually, I can see Robin Williams voicing Tom Bombadil. But Robin Williams as Aragorn...Arrrggghhhh!

I'm trying not to think about the garbled Elvish.

So fiendish it's making me laugh.

Author's Response: Oh, Lord, Robin Williams as Tom Bombadil...it would work better than him voicing Aragorn, but I can imagine how zany it would be. Whereas the Bombadil of the book was just nutty and eccentric, a Robin-Williams Bombadil would be utterly crazy and wild.\r\n

CinderFaramir indeed!

That song does sound very Disneyish.

I hope poor Treebeard doesn't get foot-rot or some kind of disease from stepping on cheesy, wormy-tongued Grima...

Author's Response: I rather think the worm in his mouth will turn out to be a cute, happy little creature who was ruthlessly enslaved to Grima, and now that he\'s out, he\'ll cling to Treebeard\'s roots and then make a nice, new home in the soil of Fangorn...*gag*
