AHH! AHH! *gasping, clutches heart, and sweats* Thank Valar Disney hasn't mutilated it yet!

Author's Response: Amen to that!
Beautiful. So beautiful. You had excellent wording and I love the themes of death that you portray here. Well done.

Well, I had this deam a while ago but I remember it pretty well.
I was standing in the middle of a prairie with three of my friends. And all of the sudden we were hobbits. Me being Frodo, and the rest of my friends being Sam, Merry, and Pippin.
Anyways, Sam walked up to a nearby hill and started measuring it. He said he wanted to build Bag end there, but I (Frodo) told him we had to get power tools first! (Honestly Sam, you'd think he'd be smarter eh?) ;P
So, we walked to a conveniently nearby store in the middle of this empty field. While I was looking for building supplies, Merry and Pippin went to the back where there was a kind of giftshop. They started rumaging around and looking at postcards, keychains, and other tourist-trap items. Pippin pulled out a long golden necklace and was trying to run off with it, but unfortunately the store manager caught him and we were all thrown out of the store.
Anyways I woke up before I could scold the little shop-lifter, but hey...it was a nice necklace!
Brilliant! Thanks for the laugh. :)

Brandon wakes up in the middle of a forest in another world. Is it a dream? Or is he stuck in an unfamiliar place where his life might no longer matter? Please read and review!
I just have to say, you've got a wonderful style of writing and it's a nice change to have a boy instead of a girl fall into Middle-Earth. Very rare, and interesting. I'm from the west myself, (well more western than Kansas) but I enjoyed the slang you used for Brandon, it made me smile.
Great job.
-Fay
Author's Response:
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the story, and I'm doubly glad that the slang I used was realistic, seeing as I'm from Connecticut, which is quite a ways east of Kansas :)
I hope that you enjoy the rest of the story!
*pouts* No captian's log? I guess The Enterprise has other important hallucinations to attend to. :)
Bah! Glad that Frodo is a naughty little boy and stole the whisky. I'd never thought I'd say this, but it's sure a good thing he's got that stuck up his nose! Keep updatin' if you can, for the meanwhile I will munch on some stale cookies...
Author's Response: Ah they’re not that stale. *bites cookie and chips tooth* Ok, maybe a little. Hehe, I’m glad too for Frodo’s naughtiness. I’ll see about the updatin’! Thanks again for all the lovely reviews! ^^
Oh...it's getting more serious! But I laughed so hard at this line:
While Frodo tried to nibble on the Light of Eärendil,
Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: *sheepish* Yeah, I figured it would have to get darker, seeing as they’re going to Mordor n’ all. *laughs* That line was a last-minute addition. I’m glad it worked!
Thanks!!!
I love how there is more Star trek, LOL Spock was so randomly hilarious.
Ahh, and you've got to write more soon, I'm dying to know who the two figures are!
Author's Response: Spock's great no matter his mental state. :) I'm finding the next chapter easier to write than this last one - there'll be far more talk than action. Danke schon!
Great Scott, They're captured!?! :o Well it should get interesting... absolutely loving it, keep updating!
Author's Response: Oh yes! It’ll get interesting. Captivity’s fun! Danke. :)
Yay, you updated! And they've got the flipn'-stinkn' ring??!!, and Frodo has it up his nose? I was laughing my head off. Loved the orc family. Mama Orc seems...pleasent. ;) Anyways brilliant, and keep updating if you can. Oh, and I'm glad to see Spock is included in your hallucinations again...hehe
-Fay
Author's Response: What’s a chapter without Spock? :) I wish I had a good excuse for taking so long with this chapter… I’m just lazy. Sigh. But I have the next three chapters partially written so that’s something. I’d like to have Mama Orc over for tea. She’d never be dull. :P Thanks for reading, Fay!
Mmmmmm... me loves me some elf cookies!
Well, *ahem* I had been following the Ottyssey. I got on today and read the last chapters I'd missed. Well done! It always had me laughing. Can't wait to read more from you, whether it includes hot vulcans or not.
. . .and now I have a desperate craving for tacos. :)
-Fay
Author's Response: Thanks for following along! Your reviews have always brightened my day! :) Whoah, you’d read something without hot Vulcans? (Kitt tries desperately to imagine doing that… gives up and eats a cookie.) Aw, I wish I could stick a taco through the screen for you. Here's a... virtual taco!
Thank you!!! ^^
Ah, I simply just adore stoires about the four hobbits. (I'm an incurable hobbit addict). This was very cute in explaining Frodo's and Merry's relationship. Not only that but Frodo moving to Bag End. Oh, and I love how Sam and Frodo meet! Very cute! It's true the ages aren't 100% accurate, but hey if it works, it works, and it did.
The piece was beautifully fluffy. Well done!
-Fay
Author's Response: Thanks! Incurable Hobbit addicts unite! Lol- I'm obviously one as well. I had actually never given thought to how Sam and Frodo met before I wrote this story- it just sort of came to me when I came to that particular part of the tale. Poor little Merry- I felt so bad for him that Frodo had to move away. That was my little bit of angst for this story- I'm quite a fan of angst, especially if it has to do with Merry and Pippin, which I write on a regular basis. This story was my little fluff release, and I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Please keep reading and reviewing!

A ring can represent practically anything. Undying love, a silent promise, real friendship, commitment, but also nobility, worship or faith. There are rings that symbolize dependence, enslavement, eternity, and apparently there is one that stands for all that’s evil in this world. But let’s not forget a ring is nothing more than a piece of metal that fits nicely around a finger. It doesn’t even have to be pretty.
So don’t ask me why I ended up risking my life, going on this quest to destroy one. I mean, you can’t really blame me for getting caught up in things I don’t even believe in, right?
Be warned: this is a tenth walker fic and English is my second language. It’s possible you’ll hate this story, but don’t forget you’re not legally obliged to do so. And seriously, I really like readers and absolutely love reviewers.
Originally I had thought I was only going to read a bit of your story, but I got sucked into it! I spent most of my morning reading it! It's very well-written and I can't wait to read more. I love your realism and your style of writing. It's refreshing and unique. Keep up the good work!
-Fay
Author's Response: Thank you! Such a kind review makes my dday. I will update, but it will take at least two weeks as I will be sailing in Greece without internet access. Thank you! And stay tuned ;)
Yay! You updated! *grins* You know I'm usually not one for romances, but I can't help but enjoying Iris and Legolas's relationship. It evolved natrually and isn't your typical Mary Sue+Leggy story.
And I have a guess as to what the regrets are, I guessed it a bit early on. Does it have someething to do with chapter 5?
Author's Response: Thanks! It definitely is a compliment when those that don't like the genre can stil enjoy the story. Oh, and I'd say: keep guessing. I am not going to say anything, not until the very last chapter.... *evil grin*
Yay! *punches the air* that was a great chapter! It made me laugh, and it finally happened, and in a good way. You waited 19 chapters for the big 'I love you' to happen and it worked wonderfully that way. :)
Author's Response: I am glad you like it! I was kind of scared of this chapter, especially of the 'I love you'. I am glad you don't think I ruined it :P Thanks for reviewing again!
I can't believe it's over...that was a beautiful ending Ndil! I loved your epilouge. I didn't expect it to end so soon! It makes me sad, seeing Iris go. She was a character that seemed so real. But I'm glad things worked out for her. She had a purpose being in middle-earth, I loved that. Most 'girls who fall into ME' just randomly fall there. This was different. It was about love,friendship, and lot of other themes I can't name here. It couldn't have been told in a more perfect way. Keep writing! You have a gift and natrual flare for it, and I hope to see more from you soon.
-Fay

Author's Response: Thank you! So many great compliments in one review! I am having a hard time letting Iris go too. Luckily there is quite a gap between the end of the war and the part where she leaves Middle Earth; I might use that one day. Still before I can I would have to do some research; take some time to think up what will happen and why. So it won't be very soon, and maybe it will never get posted on this site, but I'll definitely give the idea of making a sequel some proper thought. Thank you again, for all your wonderfull reviews!
Oh, sorry about my last post, I was in a bit of a hurry. I signed twice. Oh well. ;P
Author's Response: No need to apologize! I always love to see my review count increasing!
Bravo! I have always been intimidated by drabbles. I've only written short 'drabbilish' pieces, never really trying to write only in 100 words.
These were very sweet. The present tense worked well, another thing I've always never dared to try. Well done!
-Fay
Author's Response: Thanks! I was so glad to get your review- it gets a bit distressing when you go for a while without getting any reviews, so this was a pick-me-up! I'm glad you liked the present tense- I think I used it in a different method than normal here. It is normally used to provide insight and intimacy with the narrator (which I guess I do some of that here), but I mainly used it this time to give insight to a different character. Breaking the mold, lol. Keep trying with the drabbles! It's so rewarding to get a good, poetic one that's exactly one hundred words! Thanks again for your continued support!
-Traveller
This made me laugh and I thought this particular part was sweet:
When the dragon failed to explode, we explained to him Merry and Pippin must have stolen it. We even pointed out the small car they must be using as their getaway vehicle as we drove home afterwards. He couldn’t wait for next July to see Gandalf.
Good job!
Bloopers happen, it's a part of the movie-making process. Lord of the Rings, epic as it is, is no exception. Here's a list of humorous sights I've seen during the films!
aha! You know I can't think of any at the moment but I have spotted some mistakes as well, *giggles* I am SO watching the two towers, Frodo's feet jiggling? lol
Author's Response:
Yes. Feet jiggles. The first time I saw it I was just like, "What is this?" and had to pause and play several times before it hit me that, yes ladies and gents, those feet weren't moving in the normal manner. The only bad thing about bloopers is that once you know they're there, you will ALWAYS see them. It gets harder to concentrate on the wonderful moments in the film, or the artwork. When I want to focus on that, I need to force myself into that mindset. And even though I manage to do that, one scene always throws me off! It's Eowyn, with her hair blowing in one direction and the flag she's next to going the opposite way.
