Yes, just fine, I enjoyed reading this story. Though I always think that Tolkien's world demands for some "ancient" vocabulary, this plot was delivered nicely. Take care, - T. | |

Well, having read both the current and the previous version of the fic, I must say that I approve of your edits. I really think both what you added and subtracted improved the story, especially changing the confrontation between Fev...can't spell name... and Aragorn. It's really nice that you took the time to go back and really go over your work, rather than just leaving it in a state you felt to be unfinished. : ) I also approve of your sequal idea! Most gollum-capture fics I've read have been poorly written, so it would be nice to see a good one done. (one exception is "Boundaries of Time" by gypsum, but it remains unfinished unfortunately...) Ah, enough blathering. Good job!! Author Reply: My goodness, I'm terribly sorry for not responding sooner, but Real Life hasn’t given me a chance to be online in over a month. Thank you for your kind words, and I’m honored you thought enough of my story to re read it! I still can’t say I’m 100% happy with this final product, but then I’m afraid I’d alter more then sentence structure and border on major plot changes. But c’est la vie! Some bad new, though. I don’t think I will actually do the sequel. The more I think about it, the more I know I’d mess up Gollum’s character. I shudder right not even thinking about it. He’s a little too complex/complicated/weird/whatever for my current skill level, and like you said, it has to be done right. It’d take a little more then adding “precious” to every sentence. :-) But! I am currently working on another short story, hopefully around 5 chapters. Still centered around Aragorn, of course, though this time he's much younger. False Faces taught me that it can be difficult and annoying to post WIPs so I’m going to wait until I finish the whole thing. There were a few too many times that I wanted to go back and change major details or add a subplot but couldn’t because it had been posted already. Anyway, sorry for babbling. Thank you for the review and for taking the time to reread my story. I’m glad you approve of the changes; I spent entirely too long on them! | |

hi there, loved this story, it is so good. Great fight scene, and loved the part where it is easier to heal Aragorn, when he is not awake to fight them. would love to read more from you when Aragorn finally manages to get hold of Gullom. thanks for the good read | |
