| Wonderfully hysterical! The Ghost of Denethor was great, as was Mablung. Heheh, I LOVE this...ermm...."play"! Keep it comin'! ;) (Go Faramir!!) Author Reply: I'm so glad you liked this. And I really will finish this. Rome wasn't built in a day, nor Gondor destroyed in a week, nor Shakespeare | |

| The line "I’m off to squeeze a cock" is a stroke of pure genious. It sent me to a fit of hysterical laughter for the second time. Bless you for this. Author Reply: Cock squeezing is a big sport in Shakespeare...or is it cock fighting? Ah well, the images it conjures. So, um, what did you think of the Act II, Scene I. Or dare I ask? hugs Lindorien | |

| It was so refreshing re-reading this! The interaction between Arwen and Eowyn was simply delightful. Author Reply: You read it TWICE! **falls at Werecat's feet and hugs her ankles like a madwoman** no greater compliment can an author have than to have somebody read her work twice! I don't even read my work twice! Um...does it show? hugs lindorien | |

| Possibly the weirdest Tolkien fic I've ever read - and that's compliment!!! :D Author Reply: hehe - you haven't read some of my other yet, have you? Thanks for the compliment and thanks for liking it and thanks for telling me about it. Lindorien | |

| Very clever and very funny! I couldn't NOT read all of this - all that you've posted so far, that is. Please say there will be more! After all, you can't stop before writing the "Alas! Poor Uruk!" scene. Aha, maybe there is some truth in Denethor's story that Aragorn purposefully delayed rescueing Boromir, thus making sure he was killed. Lurtz was obviously in league with The Future King, payoff consisting of (a) not being killed by Aragorn and (b) a nice secure job in Minas Tirith. Lurtz in particoloured hose and a hat with bells on it? *g* Author Reply: Absolutely, I shall finish this. I shall continue writing until somebody actually demands that I stop! Alas! Poor Shakespeare! I'll look into the Lurtz angle. I'm so glad you like this. I'm so glad you found it funny. I'm so glad you are not tossing rotten tomatoes in my general direction. Updates anon! I'm on vacation right now! Lindorien | |

| Bahahahaha, that was BRILLIANT! And bloody hilarious to boot. I love Hamlet (Shakespeare in general), and this is such a funny spin to it. I especially enjoy how they use the word barbeque when referring to the pyre thing with Denathor. Bahaha...I can't wait for the next update! Author Reply: Alas! Poor Reader! You love Hamlet? You love Shakespeare in general? Tar and feathering is NOT on your mind after reading this? Enormous sighs of relief. Seriously. Brilliant, bloody hilarious to boot? We lovesss to hear them wordsss here in LindorienLand, preciousssss. Yessss, we doesssss. I can't wait for the next update either. Any ideas? email me. Thanks for reading. Thanks for liking. Thanks for not sending me ticking packages. Lindorien | |

| :p See, I was reading too. You make it so that there is little to comment on, though believe it or not, this chapter made more sense to me than usual! Are you slipping or am I losing my mind? Author Reply: Are you slipping or am I losing my mind? Hmmm...you REALLY want an answer to that? Perhaps this makes more sense to you because it deals with treachery and backstabbing and false people and lies and underhanded plans and... oops. Next Scene might make even more sense to you. hugs, Lindorien To cry or not to cry that is the question the evil that men do oft times lives after the them the good oft interred with their bones lalala | |

| I think that if you kept Legolas on stage longer you would have kept the audience. Ahem... This update has made my day as I've been rather gloomy of late. Sorry for a short review but I really must go. Author Reply: Legolas and Gimli are in the next scene. You see, it occurs to both of them that they don't really see how in the Talk about having one's chance to get back at the dead. Also a study in overreaction. Scene is likely to open with Mablung telling Faramir: I had this strangeth dream last night. Then he proceeds to THE poem: Seek for the plot that was stolen With Lindorien it lies There shall be heads set rollin' As readers gouge out their eyes There shall be indications cheesy That the ending is near at hand But the play has to go to Act threesy If the audience it can stand. Or something to that effect. Glad it cheered you up. Short review, long reply. All balances out in the end. Lindorien | |

| LOL! More please, this is dubious and plainly insane! That fatality should result from a barbecue has one in rapture. 1? And Lineage? How Sick...You dangle plot and meter....Mayhap prose would be easier, yet the details would be lost... Minna Sedh, Hisie Lome Author Reply: Snicker. Dubious is a very good way to put it. Dubious and plainly insane - much like the author. Ah well, 'tis said that writing is the mirror of the person's soul...or something like that. Dangling plots and meter - both particular specialties of mine. I stink, but I work hard to achieve that status. Prose would be easier, but I shall not succumb. This whole thing gets done in something sorta like iambic pentameter until people pound upon my worthless skull and demand that I stop. Thanks for reading, Hisie Lome. Very pleased to meet you! I'm Lindorien. | |

| Caged bird! LOL! If you did not mean for this to be humor, then pardon me....The fair Lady Arwen stating, "you suck at it." 'Tis evil...But passions dies when tended not- how sad. Please continue with this "wretched" tale....I find it rather interesting. Minna Sedh, Hisie Lome Author Reply: Well, I did mean for it to be humor, but there are various definitions of that word. Most of my Works of a Highly Serious Nature do tended to set people giggling. I have not yet figured out why, but I continue my research and shall post the results at the appropriate time. Yes - that last couplet was rather sad. I don't think its going to work out well for anybody... | |
