Ooops, poor Aragorn. I can just imagine all the songs that would have sprung up about the heroic Captain Thorongil.

Well, here I am, blaming you, as Lindorien told me to: DO you really have to distract her?! She's doing that one (being distracted) very well on her own, thankyouverymuch. She will never get a multiparter finished, if there are plots thrown at her at random! ;-) And now to something completely different. I do love your stories, every single one of them, but since YOU are sensible enough to write them without prompting you never got a review, shame on me, lucky you. Looking forward to read more (but not only drabbles, please) ...

Author Reply: Don't blame me! I distracted her ages ago. And this is not what I was trying to distract her into. Her distraction is supposed to be the actual tale!:))

Thanks for your lovely review:) I'm very glad you enjoy what I write... but whyever lucky me for not receving rveiews??? We lurvs reviews we does! We gathers them and hugs them and loves them very much. I will stop being inane now.

Thank you once again! I will endeavour to not distract Lindorien again... but it does not look that easy!

hehe -- so a song recounting how badly Aragorn doesn't want to here about Captain Thorongil and the Corsairs.

That sounds like a drinking song, you know. I so want you to put he'd for had in that penultimate sentence, but I know that would give you 99 words and not a hundred.

If you shall tell me the story of Captain Thorongil and The Corsairs -- perhaps I could write a drinking song for him. If I put a fic around it I could enter it into the Pirates AND the drinking songs challenge. If I send him to a brothel - that's three challenges, If I give it a REALLY BAD opening line that four and if I make him just a little bit evil then that's FIVE challenges.

Then do I get free passes to the movies?

Lindorien - and yes - I liked it and yes - you must release your inner poet. This is Nol's doing - she is turning us into poet, one no-talent at a time. I am living proof.

Hugs


Author Reply: *hug* I’m so glad you liked this. I personally think it represents my growing insanity. But yes, Nol has made us all aspire to be crummy poets and Nol must pay.

You are cordially invited to write as many drinking songs as you like for as many challenges as you like.

The tale of Throngil and the Corsairs is really quite simple. He burnt the boats in Pelargir, right? *shrugs* they disguised their own ship as an oliphaunt and pretended to be Haradrim oliphaunt traders on their way to Rohan, and became pally with the Corsair captains and got invited to the flagship (if any) for dinner and wine, and when they’d got them all drunk, they sneaked out and burnt the ships, and in the process almost burnt their own ship disguised as an oliphaunt floating in water (elephants are excellent swimmers, incidentally)
Also, one of the Corsair captains was actually a Haradrim woman disguised a Corsair captain so T. got to charm her and all that.
Seed of goodness in evil! H. woman?
