| omigosh--the torture is horrible! :*( i think i rather have beatings than hot stones and the stretching machine. eeek~!! :*( tears indeed for poor Frodo. =( But you had Frodo ever so clever and it was funny that you mentioned this line: "Frodo just mentally rolled his eyes at that. Orcs were unbelievably stupid. Telling a prisoner they were bound to die was the last way to acquire information." hehe sounds like something you would think too. :P i really like the fact that you worked on the Elizabethan English that MoS had to say..very credible and wonderful detail. no more Frodo torture please? =( i was so scared to read this chapter just because of that... awww poor Frodo :*( but it's cool that you didn't linger on describing the pain ...that would be very sad and probably will up the ratings a bit. Frodo was very brave throughout it all though...interesting for you to say that he was anticipating being captured and rehearsed a story to say. Very interesting detail. Author Reply: I might do just a tad more Frodo torture. In connection to the part in Ch.3 when Sauron says to "question" Frodo regarding the sword from the Barrow Downs. But I will certainly tone it down. And the walk to the Black Gate certainly won't be a casual "walk" but no added torture there. I figured if Frodo's planning on going into an Orc-infested place the possibility of capture had to occur to him and he would never want to betray his friends. As for the Elizabethan English? I did it myself in chapter three, but I can't take credit for it in this time around, sorry to say. I recruited FrodoBaggins88 for that and she did it for me over AIM. I did some of it and would ask her if I had gotten it right and then turned the whole thing over to her in the end. I was trying to finish it that night and "translating" to Old English at 2 am isn't something my brain appreciates. Thank you for reading...this chapter especially. | |

| You know, I had written the title of this down a while back as a story I wanted to read and for some reason never got around to it, but... OMG! Poor Frodo! So determined not to let anything slip. Your descriptions are so vivid. I especially like your MoS. I'd never thought about his skin being burned like that due to the proximity of the eye. Really creepy. Hope you can update soon. Author Reply: As I always say "Better late than never." I really hadn't though of the burning skin part until I was finishing this up. I sort of avoided his description for a while and then figured I couldn't avoid it anymore and it was one of those things that "just occurred to me" and I'm glad it did. I love extra detailed descriptions like that. I usually don't "update soon" but as this is vacation time I'll do my best. | |
