| I was just looking for things to read, noticed this, and click in this chapter first. Oh. My. Gosh! This is the funniest thing I have ever read. Dear Frodo, bless his heart, even wishing for joy for the bitterest enemies of ME. And this is how Namo interprets that wish! That is absolutely the most hilarious poetic justice ever. I loved this! Author Reply: I had a good deal of fun writing this one. Armariel's request for how the baddies might get together for the holidays got my evil imagination working! Heh! So glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so for the feedback. | |

| This was both thought provoking and fun! Author Reply: Armariel handed me quite the challenge to write to, and this was what came out! It was nice to find myself doing a humorous AU! Thanks so! | |

| Interesting discussion between the former allies. **just where is Lord Námo when he is needed to pronounce dooms? I thought that was his duty, after all….** Now that made me laugh, particularly considering who that came from! They should be careful what they wish for, though. Aside of that, this has to be the strangest party I have ever heard or read of! The guest list alone was unexpected, to say the least, and the entertainment seemed so ... tame ... considering who was there. Frodo really meant well, but I'm not sure Morgoth and the others appreciated his intent. Námo, however, is another matter altogether – I get the feeling he enjoyed himself immensely! Author Reply: Taking the wicked prompt Armariel gave me and doing my best to make a story of it turned out to be wickedly pleasant, or so I found. And I do think that Namo had a delightful time, although I don't think that the honored(?) guests enjoyed it anywhere as much as the Lord of Mandos did! Heh! | |

| P.S. After reading everyone else's gleeful reviews and your amused replies, I giggle free of guilt! Haha! | |

| I feel as if it's almost irreverent to chuckle over this, but I just cannot help it. It's just funny, and a little sad. Poor Frodo, such generous intentions, but what would he have said if he could have seen their results? Author Reply: Oh, dear--I just realized I didn't respond to your comments on this one. Armariel had such an interesting tale she wanted to see written, and I puzzled over how I would write it until at last this came to me! No, poor Frodo probably never thought of quite this kind of party being thrown for these baddies! Heh! Glad you got a laugh out of it--it was nominated for a MEFA, by the way! | |

| Well, that would have been one unusual party and no mistake. Frodo's heart is in the right place and I love the description that his stay has brightened the Halls and his request after his former enemies, but I think Mandos is having just a little too much fun here... Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Oh, I DO suspect that most of the actual details for THIS party were Namo's own! Heh! Blame Armariel for this one's details! She wanted to see how these guys might have spent Yule together, after all! Heh! | |

| *LAUGHING. CAN'T STOP* Oh dear, oh Frodo, oh my. "if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. By doing so you will heap burning coals upon his head" indeed XD Author Reply: Oh, if Frodo hasn't figured out that idea, I'm certain that Namo knows it well and is thoroughly enjoying himself using it! Heh! Am glad to get a good belly laugh going! Heh! | |

| Hm, maybe not quite what Frodo had in mind, but from the look of things Namo had a blast setting it all up! And a very Happy New Year to you too! Lynda Author Reply: Oh, but I do suspect Namo is enjoying himself thoroughly! Heh! And may 2011 be kind to all of us! | |

| Shakes head....... that was one of the strangest parties I've ever seen! I loved it! Frodo meant it as a kindness, but methinks the guests are a bit disconcerted! Hmmmmm.....will the orcs give either the Vienna Boys Choir or the Mormon Tabernacle Choir a run for their money? I'd have loved to see one of the rehersals! Thanks for a very interesting might have been! :) Author Reply: It was fun to think it up, once I could figure out how to write a story including all of Armariel's desires. Somehow I just can't see these orcs getting far on American Idol! Thanks so, Teresa! | |

| Interesting twist in the end! :) Great story, Larner, I love the atmosphere, and the images were very vivid as I read this. Author Reply: Am so glad that it managed to capture the imagination, then! Heh! Thanks, Ellynn. | |
