whoops! I forgot to leave a review on the way out!

I love this story! Please write more soon, as I think I might be becoming addicted to it. ( I read the whole thing in two afternoons)

I want to know how this turns out!

Keep it up,

Author's Response: I\'m very glad that you are loving the story. Well, that\'s a *good* kind of addition. :o) Goodness - two afternoons? Wow. I\'m currently moving, so it will be a while before I can update, but I\'ll keep going as soon as I can so you won\'t have to wait too long.

Middle Earth Lullaby by Lala_Adanwen Rated: G [Reviews - 4]
Summary: Just a short lullaby that somehow looked middle earth-y to me... I made it up lying in bed so don't flame me. XD I had a peaceful, nocturnal Minas Tirith in mind writing it. :)

I like this! You are certainly correct that it sounds like a ME lullaby.

Could I suggest the name " the world lies grey and wondrous," taken from the text?

It would seem less cheesy than making up an original name, and thus avoid off-putting readers.

Reviewer: Nazgrrl Signed
Date: 07/03/08 Title: Chapter 1: Madness

Yes I have . . . I have a problem of reading and not reviewing . . . usually what I do is read the all of the story that is posted and then review, but I have been following this for several months now, and it has just escaped my mind.

Keep it up!

Author's Response: Thank you! I tend to be pretty skimpy on my reviews as well. Anyway, it\'s hard for me to find the words to express my enjoyment for a good story.

Walt Disney Presents: The Lord of the Rings by jules14 Rated: G [Reviews - 80]

The short and choppy sentences are such an effective way to show us Shadowfax's feelings! I loved it! Oh, and by-the-by, how did the Orcs survive the fall of Sauron in the first place? That would be an interesting story.
Keep it up!

Author's Response: Yay, you finally um...did something! Great to see you. I don\'t know how they survived, but pretty much all authors have orcs all over the place post WR.

As I have **Still** not read the Silmarillion, I cannot appreciate this as much as I should like.

However, I think you are a very talented writer, so keep up the good work!!
NZ/SMEE!


**Still** meaning that the book has disappeared under mysterious circumstances

Author's Response: Hi again, Nazgrrl!\r\n\r\nNo, I have not died. No, I am not ignoring you. Yes, I do appreciate your reviews. Alas, a great evil befell me. It had to do with my hard drive making this little \"kaput!\" noise and disappearing in a puff of shiny smoke. (Not literally, of course.) I\'m sorry I didn\'t answer before.Thank you for reviewing.\r\n\r\nI extend my condolences that you haven\'t gotten to read the Silmarillion yet. You have been deprived. (And I may be being a little melodramatic, but I\'m definitely *not* being sarcastic.) I\'ve lost my copy of the Silmarillion, too, and I suspect I\'ve put it in a very safe place where I can never lose it, and promptly forgot about it. This happens periodically. I love the stories in the Silmarillion. It\'s not the sort of book that I sit down and read from start to finish, but I read jump back and forth at different times, seeing how all the threads weave together. Tolkien was terrific at world-building. Of course, he spent 50 yrs. or so at it, so I\'m not surprised. I did my best here with Maedhros (and I\'m glad you seemed to like this), but I know that I am not ready to do the Silmarillion justice. There is so much depth there! You can read it and read it and still not get it all. Occasionally, I run across a fanfic I think does it justice, but rarely (I\'m afraid I have a *very* exacting standard).\r\n\r\nHere\'s hoping you still remember what this is about! :)\r\n~Still Anonymous

Unfortunately, I cannot enjoy the rhyming scheme nearly as much as I ought as I currently have the "john Wellington Wells" song by Gilbert stuck in my head. Anyways, I'm loving this!

Author's Response: I know, Gilbert and Sullivan are so terribly catchy . . . the whole time I was writing this I had the Mikado\'s song stuck in my head. Thanks for the reviews!
