| Well, here we go again, three chap review for the price of one: #29 - He did what?! #30 - He did WHAT?! #31 - Glad to see Frodo found his voice. I'm just wondering what Canohando heard in the music that changed his life. Author Reply: Ah, to find *that* out, you'll have to read "The Orc's Quest" - now in the writing, in local fanfic collections soon... (more popcorn, anyone?) :-) Canohando's right, isn't he - Frodo can always surprise you. jo | |

| You've done something different at the end of this chapter. From the beginning, we know Frodo will eventually go back to the Shire, because of the way that you ended the other story; but in this story Frodo is very much living in the moment, taking each new day and each new situation as it comes. To avoid the pain he tries not to think of the past, though it keeps coming up, and he likeways avoids the future. Canohando and the orcs are very much the same, by nature or by choice. Here though, is the first hint that there is a future for Canohando, and that it is different from what he has up to this point. I'm very intrigued to see what you have planned for him. Author Reply: Your reviews are so perceptive, FantasyFan. You're right about them living so much in the present moment, and I hadn't even thought about it. I think for the orcs it is their nature - or at least, their nature *as orcs*. Since these two have cast off the Shadow, it's a question whether they will develop more capacity to deal with memory and hope - past and future. Canohando is still a very hope-less person at this point... I think for Frodo it began as escape and has become habit, to live in the present moment. Thank you for giving me more to think about! jo | |
