Frodo's Exciting Day Out  by Llinos 7 Review(s)
MarigoldGReviewed Chapter: 5 on 6/22/2006
My favourite bit of this chapter, as you know, is this:

"I thought you were enjoying yourselves," Aragorn said patiently, "you liked the dead people – now didn't you?"

"Yes," Pippin conceded, "but they didn't do much. I mean, you just released them from their oath and then they all ran away!"

And I love all of Boromir’s achievements and that Gollum knows who Tom Bombadil is, and Merry and Pippin’s inability to remember the name of Andúril, Flame of the West! The accidental slaying of the Witch-king is wonderful, and I also really like Gorawen’s name for them, “small cousin creatures”!

This is such a great paragraph:

"I am not sure which of the small cousin creatures caused the dropping and the killing," Gorawen explained, "but they seem to have fulfilled an ancient prophesy, eliminated a powerful enemy and earned lasting fame and renown, although they might have just been messing about."

This is brilliant! I am so enjoying reading this alternative LOTR.
You should contact Nick Parks & get him to make a Wallace & Gromit-like animation of it for the evenings we don't quite have time to watch Peter Jackson's version.
I'm still trying to find something you've missed out for your competition!
Keep writing :)

Snort. Very clever killing of the Witch King. LOL

Anduril, being referred to as: Advil, famous and best--had me laughing so hard.

Can't wait for the next chapter!

I have to say, you have bravely tackled one of the most controversial questions of LotR fandom (second only to Balrog wings) and are showing conclusively why JRRT refused Eagle Transport to the Fellowship in the first place. It most certainly is quicker, and no doubt he did not want to spoil his chances of a huge epic, spanning the course of over a year. Three books make a lot more royalties than one.

I applaud your courage.

Accidental slaying of the Witch King? hehehe I can see Merry and Pippin being this annoying and not even realizing it. :) Sauron's not having a good day is he?
