| I'd first thought Niniach Anemone, then wondered if we might have Vaire or even Irmo involved. And it does seem that those two are as much sponsors for Frodo's love as is Ulmo.... Author Reply: Well, we'll just see, precioussss...heheh! There may be yet more surprises in store....ahem..........! Yes, I did want Anemone to be more than just a cute little faery-princess playing cute tricks, I wanted her to do something of monumental importance also.... ~~~{~@ | |

| "I think perhaps,” Anemone said, “that this Ninniach is completely throwing himself into the part, in order to awaken the others into the Truth. They must be made to understand that this is not simply a play; it is the Truth." Very true! I've been reading a lot of books on the spiritual themes and truths contained in the Red Book. The professor was definitely inspired to write the Truth (not to mention the original authors!). Love Frodo's delight at feeling the unborn child of his sister-in-heart and the memory of feeling his own sister. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Have you seen this website: MythicTruth: LotR--The Man? It covers quite a lot of ground concerning spiritual themes in LotR. Although I am a Protestant, a good deal of it resonates with me also. I've had a feeling Frodo's mission didn't end with the destruction of the Ring, but continued with his journey and settling in the West, and that if the BR was to stay blessed, he must make the Truth known there, and that is the underlying theme of my story, as you've probably figured out by now. Feeling life begin, either in your own body or in that of a close friend or relation, surely is always a beautiful and holy thing. blessings & cheer Armariel~~~{~@ | |

| I think I know who Ninniach is too! Galendur's brothers are a pain. I'm glad Tilwen doesn't let them get away with their obnoxiousness. After all, she's the one that's friends with Frodo and knows all the people who matter! You'd think her sisters-in-law would be seeking introductions! Author Reply: Maybe they will, eventually--Maldor seems to be starting to see the light, after all. Maybe he's getting tired of the people who don't matter and wants to find out more about those who do. And Galendur did say he liked girls with spunk, didn't he? Tilwen is definitely not one to let others walk all over her or her friends either. Probably Frodo would have had her playing Eowyn but since she's pregnant that wouldn't do, I guess! Yeah.....Ninniach is......uh...yeah! heheh | |

| Oh. Of course! I'm generally not too fond of AU's, but you are one of the authors I make an exception for. Author Reply: Oh my goodness, thank you! I am thrilled. Well, I didn't think of this series as AU exactly, but I suppose it could be taken that way. Tolkien told us so little of the West, it's up to fanfic writers who wish to depict it to invent it themselves. I have a sister named Julie and we used to spell our names backwards sometimes when we were kids;);) Thanks so much for commenting! ~~~{~@ | |
