Not Gonna Happens  by Larner 12 Review(s)
Raksha The DemonReviewed Chapter: 18 on 7/31/2016
A clever crossover of NCIS and LOTR! Loved the use of Landroval in the story; especially since you make him very real without Gibbs, or the reader, ever seeing him.

Author Reply: When I was challenged to do such a crossover I knew it had to include Gibbs; but I was stymied briefly as to how to get him into Middle Earth and the Northfarthing, until I spotted one of the eagles that nests down the road from my place soaring beyond the evergreens and alders on my western fenceline. So I determined not to let Gibbs actually see Landroval, which caused the Great Eagle a deal of amusement. Then I found myself borrowing Fiondil's Lullaby....

I love allowing my favorite worlds to touch briefly! Thanks!

Never did I think I'd ever see a LOTR NCIS Crossover, but...WOW!! Love it and you've got Gibbs voice pitch perfect here too. Adore MeGee and would have loved to have seen his face when he saw the rifle and hat...Hee hee hee!!

This is just wonderful and I'm so happy you took up the challenge.

Author Reply: Oh, but when faced with such a challenge, what else might I have come up with? Heh!

I do hope things are going better at home. God bless you and all those you love.

Love it, love it, love it.

I think my favourite bit was the description of the rabbit but I love it all. Two of my favourite universes combined in one tale.

Author Reply: Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I couldn't help but think, well, if there's a rabbit hole there MUST be at least one bunny around somewhere! Heh! Thanks for letting me know!

The ending reminds me of Sam Alexander's (kid Nova) introduction to superheros in the Marvel Comics. Wakes up in a hospital, has a conversation with aliens and falls asleep thinking it was a dream... only a space helmet - the source of his subsequent powers - is shown lying under the bed.

a bit silly but not, as a whole, too horrifying an addition to the fandom!

Author Reply: Oh, it does sound like a good premise for the series of comic books, then. I'll have to check it out.

Most of the fics in this collection are a bit silly, but I hope they're also fun to read.

Thanks!

That was very funny!

I don't know Mr. Gibbs, but I think he was the perfect man for the job.

Author Reply: Leroy Jethro Gibbs is the lead in the action mystery series NCIS. He was a sniper while enlisted in the Marines, and is now the leader of a group of investigators working in the Naval Criminal Investigative Services. One of my favorite series, in spite of having exceedingly limited access to television nowadays. Heh!

Yes, the perfect man for the job indeed! Glad it gave you a laugh.

Looks I am the only one who is clueless about who Gibbs is but still a cute story. Semper fi!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Oh, you mean you don't watch NCIS? Too bad, really! There's good reason it was voted last year the most popular drama internationally. A show I love to watch, I find. Gibbs was a sniper in the Marines before he joined the Naval Criminal Investigative Services, so it seemed he fit the bill here somehow. A friend challenged me to figure out how to do such a crossover, and this was what came out!

Oh, that's hilarious! I've only seen a couple of episodes of NCIS, but it really fit nicely into your framework.

Poor Bandobras! Imagine if he should someday find out he cant take credit for his most famous deed.

Author Reply: I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you didn't mind me "borrowing" your Ranger and his horse as I did. But having seen what I did with "Downton Abbey" Linda challenged me to find a way to involve someone from NCIS in my next venture into mixing worlds.

And I'm certain Gandalf, Aragorn, Landroval, and Sam have no intention of telling anyone, so I doubt Bandobras will be robbed of his fame.

Thanks so, Dreamflower!

Fascinating. It reminded me of Fiondil's Elf Academy.

Author Reply: Really? It reminds you of Elf Academy? I hope you found the details sufficiently realistic to draw you in. It was fun to write, but seemed to take too long to get finished.

Thanks so, Tari!

Oh, Larner, this was absolutely hysterical! I laughed so hard that my chair was shaking. Poor Gibbs, really out of his comfort zone, but doing the job perfectly nonetheless - how fitting.

Author Reply: I am glad that you enjoyed it so, Soledad. I enjoyed writing it, and imagining how Gibbs might react was a good deal of fun.

Thanks so very much!

This is absolutely brilliant.

Author Reply: Oh, thank you so, Shirebound! Glad you enjoyed it.
