| Oh, I'm so glad this story ended with such bright promise. The White Tree bearing fruit, Hobbits coming to serve in Minas Tirith... And I'm so glad they could all know that Frodo and Sam passed in blessedness. Very interesting notes! It's amazing what we can draw from real life, isn't it?--from experiences to the look of an opium vial. I've enjoyed this tale very much--rereading what I'd read before, and finally reaching the glorious end. God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: At last appear to be back online with no further problems. Am SO tired of computer hassles. It's wonderful for me to consider how things might have happened with Frodo and Sam as they chose to accept the Gift at the last. And I find I keep imagining Frodo seeking to slip away once more, and once again being foiled. Then, that Frodo and Sam's passing from Arda beyond its bounds might have led to the White Tree's fruiting on both sides of the Sundering Seas is somehow satisfying, I find. I do try to reflect real life when I can, and am so glad such is found acceptable by so many. I had one opium vial I kept here. In China they manufactured some beautiful bottles of finest porcelain and sometimes silver for those accustomed to using opium on a regular basis; but here in our little Victorian seaport town most of what was imported came in these small bottles sealed with the glass globule. So glad you enjoyed this story, and hope one day you have the chance to read Lesser Ring. Just posted my latest, which I think you'll find shortly. | |

| Wow! Amazing as usual! The passing of Frodo and Samwise was just beautiful. So serene, and then absolutely joyful. And as sad as parts of this story have been, and sad it was to see them pass, it has been a pure delight to read this. Do you have any other stories in the works? Author Reply: Am so glad you liked it. But I would expect that the release of their souls from Arda, coming as it did on Elvenhome, would have been joyful and full of gladness, while in Middle Earth it would have been more a matter for grief and pain for all. Yes, a small white nuzgul with a yellow ring attacked me recently, so along with working on my own book, I have another tale being written now. I only have two chapters, though, so until I am certain it is working well it will remain on the laptop for a time. | |
