| Sniff, you're loosing me, I don't know half of your allusions as well as I should like, and I don't like half ..., no, No, NO, right story, wrong quote, at least the second half, sorry. Praise away ***rather confused look on my face***, that's easier said than done, ***proud little eureka-dance***, my ears didn't bleed after chapter 5 and 6! I'm never, never again going to read one of your poems aloud. ;-) By the way - the first -, updates are overdue. Do something about it or I will get an exercise plan ready for you, exercise as in physical exercise. By the way - the second -, I would very much like a dedication too. If you want an e-mail, come and claim ..., no, no, no, I will of course write one, gladly, politely, at once. Do I deserve a dedication? Yes, yes, you see, the diet plan is already complete. Author Reply: Update to Uruk is up. Blame yourself. I was caught in a whirlwind in which my three fans were circling round me screaming 'UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!' Rather like Her High Horse might when that chapter goes up. I'll dedicate that chapter to you. I think it's the last, I'm not really certain, but sure it's not already past. You read my poems? Whatever for? Gracious! Even *I* don't read my poems, I just write 'em. **wanders off shaking head** | |

| This has got to be one of the strangest things I've ever read, and that's saying a lot. But Faramir's "Captain of Ithilien" spoof is positively brilliant. Extremely funny. I'm not sure that you don't need help, but very, very entertaining. Author Reply: As long as you are laughing, Lamiel, I am happy. Happy is what we strive for in LindorienLand. 'Extremely funny' is an absolutely terrific comment. I think the jury has decided that I definitely need help...or was it the judge? Hmmm...can't remember. Doesn't matter. That I need help has been established. Whether or not that help has, in fact, helped is still open for debate. However, having looked ahead at further chapters of this story - I am concerned. Thanks for reading. Thanks more for laughing. Thanks lots and lots and lots for reviewing! Lindorien | |

| Oh, good grief! Well, it certainly HAS the feeling of Carroll - like I've been placed on a merry-go-round and its going too fast! The jokes are coming on quick - and my poor little brain is trying desperately to make sense of it! Hmmm... on second thought, maybe 'sense' is too strong a word. Outrageously funny, my dear - you've imputations I've been waiting ages to hear... On third thought, maybe I won't rhyme in answer... I do have some pity for you. ;) I'll just sit over here, preen with Bilbo and await your next installment... ;) Author Reply: Thick and fast they came at last and more and more and more. Imagine poor Lindorien, caught in a crazy merry-go-round, unable to catch the brass ring. Next installment soon. And, of course, you HAVE to know that Imputations shall be used in the next chapter. What a great word. Preen away. | |

| I would leave a review, but it is very difficult to reach the keyboard from this position. Legoland is standing on my right eyebrow. The froward one. Author Reply: See, you got to be part of the creative process. I was so happy to have the opportunity to properly use that word in a sentence. I mean, I was chomping at the bit. You know when you find a great word and then just wait for the opportunity and then POUNCE! I used captious and perspicacious yesterday in a piece I'm working on. I thought - okay, me and 6 other people are going to understand those words. I didn't care. But i saw you froward eyebrow and just KNEW it would end up in wonderland someplace! | |

| Here I thought I was the only one who ever called Frodo 'Froo-froo'. Never have I seen so many name misspellings! 'Boredtotears', 'Legoland', 'Gandingham'! Oh my! (Truelly it is amazing how many silly names one can come up with using theirs’.) Yep, still funny and still curious. Author Reply: You're still with me, Kitt! That's good. There are five more chapters of this meshuggenah piece. I begin to wonder why in the world I started it in the first place. But...it is funny. I get a kick out of it. Lindorien | |

| Yes, I believe a discreet crash cart with Victorian antimacassar would be splendid. I do have one question for you, if you will permit me? Is being off your meds anything like being on drugs? - Barbara Author Reply: Being off one's meds is the opposite of being on one's meds. You see we live in a modern society in which we are all now tweaked to perfection. 'Better Living through Pharmacology' I suppose one could say. So if one is not on one's meds, one might well behave as if one is on drugs. Drugs in the negative sense many recall from high school and college and I certainly hope not beyond. For those of us of a 'certain age' this may be more familiar a reference than for others. 'Drugs' are no longer needed to achieve an altered state. Having children and pets is usually enough to serve that purpose. It is why one might end up needing 'meds'. However, when one has children and pets, one sometimes forgets to takes one's meds. Then things like 'Lindorien in Wonderland' can occur. A shocking state of affairs, I know. But there you have it. Just yesterday, my daughter asked me why there were socks in the kitchen drawer meant to keep the neatly folded kitchen towels. At least, the socks were clean. Although I will admit that the towels were anything but neatly folded. I directed her to put the socks under the bed next to the peanut butter where they belong. | |

| My father liked my brother best because he thought I was a dip. I don’t care, ‘cause they’re both dead and now I’ve got the Stewardship. This is a really silly song so I can be a Happy Sir. Don’t trouble me with declarations that I’m out of character. ROTFLMAO!!!! . . . . I have only this to say. Can I be in you entourage?? You rock, baby! Must go put plastic on seat now. Author Reply: yes yes yes you may be in my entourage. Now go back and read the rest of it. I'll dedicate a chapter to you. Which do you want? Acacea gets Faramir and Ariel gets Bilbo. There are some more coming up though, in case you aren't happy with the offerings thus far. Must now go **snicker** | |

| Well, I loved it very much:) and yes, it did make me laugh. But I must now go and read Carroll all over again:) More to come? Author Reply: Absolutely there is more to come. I think there are five chapters more to come. Not sure, haven't the heart to count. This does beg the question why it is to stuff like this I turn when I need diversion. So tell me - what's your favorite part so far? I was thinking that each chapter of this should be dedicated to one person. Which chapter do you want? Lindorien asked innocently, already knowing its the Faramir as Catepillar chapter. | |

You know, some one of these days I have to get you to write a fic in which you don't abuse my darling Fro...  Author Reply: Just for that you get the Bilbo chapter dedicated to you. I'm going to dedicate each chapter to a friend. I think there are twelve chapters. I don't think I have 12 friends. Some of you might have to double up. I LOVE dear little Toto,er, Frodo. And at least I made mention that he's not some prepubcent kid and Lindorien is confused that everybody is treating him like a halfwit. | |

| Twice now I have tried to review this chapter and twice I have been interrupted. But not this time. *laughs maliciously* The more I read the less it makes it sense; yet at the same time it makes all the more sense. That requires talent, Lindorien. Nice to reread your poems, and nice to see Faramir. (Even if he is a replacement for a caterpillar.) Argh, yes, you have made me pull out my very old copy of Alice in Wonderland, and I’ll probably read it tonight. You really should get an award; all I’m reading anymore is classics. Err… could I try it away from home, then? Author Reply: This begins to make sense while making less sense? This is a concept I must ponder. Surely a career in politics cannot be far behind? Yes - Faramir the caterpillar, smoking dope and worrying about punctuation. Must now decide who is to reply the Pig in 'Pig and Pepper'. I suppose it could be 'Pip and Pepper'. Poor much maligned Pippin. So - you are reading your classics? Good girl! I am pleased my fanfic tends to elevate the level of my Gentle Reader's Reading of a more Serious Nature. If I told you how old MY copy of Alice is, you would fall over and die. I am not certain, but I think it has Lewis Carroll's fingerprints on it. Let's put it this way - the pages crackle a little and the binding cracks. Reminds me of that poem, 'the mirror crack'd' - the binding crack'd from side to side... never mind. Lindorien | |
