| Very eery this is becoming! The breeze that wasn't--now that sounds important. | |

| I'm not thrilled about the King going off to explore that stinky swamp; and the dreams are certainly cryptic. The plot is thickening, danger is not close but perhaps not that far away either? It's a measure of the general unease that Faramir is not sure of his own mind, which is usually such a powerful engine... Author Reply: Well, he wouldn't be Aragorn if he didn't wander off into the muddier places of Gondor. ;) You can take the Ranger out of the Wilds, but you can't take either the Wilds or the Ranger out of the King. | |

| This is so creepy; anything can be in that place. Scary, spooky....You should not be afraid to write Faramir, you do it wonderful, better than the movies a thousand times, IMHO. Author Reply: Thanks so much for your encouragement on writing Faramir! I'll have to take him out for a test drive again some day. And thanks again for the review! | |

| Love everything, reallY! As i have left a comment on your LJ-- i'll leave some more thoughts here-- I like this mystery and this chilling atmosphere that you have set up. I like the camaraderie between Legolas and Faramir. It is also funny how you mention that Gimli's name means "little fire"-- is that canonical or not? Either way-i like the conversation regarding it. :) Looking forward to more! Want to know if Faramir dreams again (and if so what details will he be left with then???) Author Reply: Hey again! I just finished responding to you in LJ and was excited to find you here, too. I'm so glad you like the chilling atmosphere, and I'm even more thrilled that you like Legolas and Faramir. They were a lot of fun to write together. In letter #297, Tolkien says Gimli's name is probably from Old Norse where "gim" means "fire." It's been later suggested that "Gimli" is the diminutive form of "gim," which makes him a little fire. I liked the thought, so I went with it. It should also be noted that "Gimli" means "star" in Adûnaic, but since Gimli clearly isn't Númenórean, there probably isn't a connection. And Faramir definitely dreams again. A lot. ;) Thanks for the review! | |

| Wow! What a chilling chapter. I sense some foreshadowing here. I also really love your characterizations of Legolas and Faramir; both of them have their own uniqueness in your stories, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I am immensely enjoying this story and also very curious about the dream, it's funny that Gimli seems to be the one Faramir can talk to for answers in the dream, Legolas being a flighty elf and Gimli rooted as a dwarf. There seems to be some huge meaning in Faramir's dream and I'm excited to see what it is. Keep writing! Unrelated, are you planning anything more with your unfinished stories such as "During a Journey in the Dark" and "A Land of Light and Shadows"? I know you must have your hands full with this story but it would be nice to see those finished sometime :) Author Reply: Thank you so much for the review! The dream is VERY significant. The fact that some parts change and some don't is also significant, so your detective skills are working well. A bit of this will be explained next chapter, too. As for other stories...both of the stories you mentioned have completed outlines and I'm working on completing chapters. But I don't want to post anything more until they're finished. I have no idea when that will be. LLS hit SUBSTANTIAL writer's block. The former I just haven't gotten around to in a little bit. Sorry about that! It's the best I can tell you. | |

| Okay, you've got me hooked. What else is new? It seems to me that the more Faramir ponders on the 'dream' in his waking hours the more he is able to assert himself within the 'dream'. And the banners flying in no breeze, interesting and spooky. I don't know why but it reminds me somehow of 'The Paths of the Dead'. Thank goodness you are posting chapter 3 tomorrow and that the story is complete. I would hate to be left hanging over a cliff in this one. . . Brilliant, as usual. Author Reply: There are plenty of creepy places in LotR, so I'm flattered that this one made you think of the Paths of the Dead. Thank you so much for your review! I'm thrilled you're enjoying the story! | |

| Well does that elf know more than he is telling or what! This is sooooo.....creepy, I'll tell you I wouldn't be going into the fen or whatever. Ewwwww! Hugs The Imp P.S. I think I'm gonna have nightmares tonight! Author Reply: Hope you didn't have nightmares! But I'm glad you're finding the atmosphere creepy. I'm always nervous about tones, so it was a relief to hear it came out as intended. Thanks for the review! | |
